AltarBoy1: I just finished watching a seasonal movie titled "The Last Ship". The film was interesting that I started making some research about the film. I discovered that a real US Navy ship was used for the film and some real life US Navy officers featured in the film to enhance its professionalism... But here in Nollywood, all we see is just childish and fake acting, nothing serious about. Even when they want to use a hospital for acting, the just bring one small room, put in a single bed and nothing more. Is it when they want to feature police station, same one roome with desk. Even the police officers in nollywood dont seem professional both in ethics and in dressing making them a joke in the film. Nollywood should try and upgrade in the method of acting as we are supposed to have grown past the level they are now. Funny enough, I watched one nollywood film yesterday. "ibu the class captain" when I was thinking it will be a comedy film that will help me foget my sorrows. I was shok to see the rubbish those guys acted. I was wondering why the actors arent ashamed for acting such.

lymelyte: God bless u for this post. I just finished watching the movie yesterday. The movie got me hooked right from episode 1. The movie is mind blowing mehn.. I research online for d ss 2, it will b out next year June or July with 13 episodes.. Woe betide Nigeria movie industry for d crap they feed us.. Sometimes I wonder why they can't learn from their counterparts..

AltarBoy1: I can bet you that I learnt alot from that movie. But the reverse is the case for Nigeria movie. Infact, watching Nigerian movie is like delibrately trying to reduce your IQ. Load of crap and the actors arent ashamed for acting in such meaningless firms.

lymelyte: very true bro
Do you hv any tv show u can suggest for me to watch? I am waiting for new seasons of most of my tv shows..

AltarBoy1: Am trying to watch "Tyrant"... Though the first episode don't seem all that interesting, but the film looks promising... You can check out "teen wolf"...

lymelyte: Tyrant is an interesting movie. I have finished watching it ss 1 and it has been renewed for ss 2.It is good. You will enjoy it. Teen wolf looks old to me. Anyway,i will watch the episode 1 and see for myself..

Hey...you guys don't get me wrong!!....there are some good Nollywood movies....1998 to 2005...where the quality of production was poor...but jeez...the story lines and much better over all acting made them interesting. It's funny that at that time the stars weren't celebrities...but now....more celebrities than stars and almost all the movies suck...big time!

There are New Nollywood movies that are better than the old 1998 era movies by far in terms of story and picture quality.

People are just too nostalgic and sentimentally biased.

While some refuse to wake up from their slumber.

If Nigerian movies get to Hollywood standard today, people will still bad-mouth and criticize.
But then don't some people bad mouth Hollywood too and Bollywood too?
They fail to see the good in things.

Your statement is a fallacy.!
It is just like saying for example, that a 'terminator 1' is better than an 'edge of tomorrow'. Only sentiments will let one reason in that angle.

Therefore, it is utterly absurd to say that storylines of the past beat that of the present era. Unless ofcourse you are watching 'alaba home videos'.

There is a new and better Nollywood that might not yet be world class but is steering on the right track to world class. And you don't get to see these films except in the Cinemas. The Nollywood movies on the street are 'alaba home videos' and are the lancers of the bad name of Nollywood.

MARD, Indian film is a classic, and is ever green but that don't mean that there are no better stories in today's Bollywood.

Same for IGODO, Saworoide, Nneka the snake girl, Arus-iyi, Domitila, Blood Money (Nigerian movies) and all the other ever greens. It don't mean that better stories have not been told. Maybe you don't just get to see them as alaba home videos occupy the market more whereas NEW NOLLYWOOD films are sold in theatres across the country.

@Prof800.....no doubt..picture and sound quality are wayyy better than earlier movies. It's not about being nostalgic...but about being realistic...calling a spade a spade. Of the better movies that impressed you.....if a foreigner had never ever seen a Nollywood movie...do you really think you can name 3 movies made over the past 6 years that they would find very interesting/entertaining?
