kolaxed98:You were making films in the 70s and yet it took an igbo film called "living in bondage" to create an internationally recognised Nollywood. Kunle and Kemi have been huffing and puffing these few years, yet Genevieve came in an did what they couldn't do. Can't you see the difference? 11 Likes 1 Share |

uchennamani: I understand where u are coming from. I share same sentiment too.. But wedding party suffered the same fate. The problem is usually lack of action. I watched wedding party and I was angry with the storyline. Kinda same I want to marry u, her family no like me, his family no like me but we ended up marrying last last.. Unlike the lionheart, this story line is about business. Though I understand the script lacks suspense. Went too fast and scenes are predictable. But for bringing something quite new to us in terms of business enterprise of the east, promoting the culture of east and north in a modern way, I love that. I think that is what she wanted to achieve. The problem is with the lack of suspense and action. 15 Likes |

Vtrd: No I can't see the difference, because when ppl do something u always ignore it and celebrate yours to high heaven, there is nothing special in Netflix that's what I'm trying to tell u guys. Make a movie first in Nigeria that will trend and sell out every cinema,then come talking but now sorry Netflix won't make me believe Igbo's achieve something new,stay at your roots,thats what matter. Oh! FYI,film house cinemas is controlled by Yoruba's siverbird cinema ain't got crap on film house I see film house cinemas in Ibadan and akure when travelling,even silverbird cinema is living on past glory 1 Like |

uchennamani: Everything here in this county shouldn't be about yoruba vs igbo na.. I understand the movie lacked script content.. No much action, suspense was lacking.. Yes.. But the cinematography was okay bro. Best I av seen so far. Her idea was to promote a culture and to show the enterprising nature of her people. At least I love that. I was tired of marriage crises movie, runs girl movie, ritual and armed robbery movies.. This was unique.. Give her credit for this and there is no need comparing. Everything no be yoruba vs igbo kind of thing.. 11 Likes 1 Share |

kolaxed98: Is everything about u guys competition? Why do u hate igbos so much? The movie wasn't to compete with anyone. In fact these movies u mentioned, I have never heard of them. U need to understand that people have different taste. U mentioned Yemi, the VP, he is yoruba na. He will watch his movie and promote his content. There are top igbo leaders who will choose the lionheart and other igbo movies ahead of the ones u mentioned. Movies have Target market. Lionheart market is the igbo culture and lovers of igbo. It is not competition.. 6 Likes 1 Share |

kolaxed98:Dumb yoruba insecure idiot, of course everything that relates to Igbos is always competition to your effeminate whining pu**ies, see how a mere thread on a movie brought out the morbid bigotry in you. All over Facebook and other social media platforms, the movie is getting rave reviews from not only Nigerians but other Africans and even foreigners home and abroad, my Ghanaian, Liberian, South African and Cameroonian etc friends were even praising the movie more than the Nigerians! It even took a foreigner to convince me to see the movie on Netflix until I did today. While the movie was NOT Oscar worthy by any standards , it definitely did enough to promote the beauty of the Igbo business acumen, language, and ingenuity...AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERED TO ME. For all your hype about all the thrash movies produced by your yoruba geniuses, how come none of them are getting this much attention internationally like Lion heart? Despite splashing more budgets and casting all the "Z list" oyinbo actresses like your useless wedding party and the likes, none of them made it past the majorly Nigerian audience and cinemas... a multi billion dollar company like Netflix appreciated the simplicity and authenticity of Lion heart and rushed to put it on their platform! Keep hating till you die, but all facts and indices will always point to Igbos as the true pioneers of Nollywood. Name any local yoruba actor or actress besides maybe Olu Jacob and Omotola that are more popular than the likes of Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Genevive, Rita Dominic, Kanayo, Clem Ohameze, Kenneth Okonkwo etc...the reason lots of African and Carribean countries know lots of Nigerian words like "tufiakwa", "Chineke", "Igwe must hear this..." and many more are because of the huge cultural impacts of Nollywood which of course promotes the Igbo culture MORE IN THE LIMELIGHT than any other in Nigeria...

harry41: I used to hate Nigerian films. But some movies have actually impressed me. Sylvia, 73, King of Boys. Those had substance. Lionheart cannot compare to any of those stated. It is a good try but quite overhyped. It's a movie that doesn't engage its viewers. A real good movie grips you. Over 10, i give it a 3. What was really spectacular about it was the quality cameras, lighting and color-grading. The sound quality was good but direction was awful, those comic sounds should not be used for Drama movies. It's obvious, netflix bought this to support the Nigerian film industry, not for its quality. |

Ojukwubucket: I am a movie enthusiast not a movie maker. I see movies from all over the world and judge by its story telling and other film attributes. Lionheart is a movie you will see and forget within a week. Kemi Adetiba's "king of boys" was so terrific that a pastor used it to preach on his pulpit. That is a movie that lives long. No beef, no hate. The picture quality is great but more engaging stories and cinematography please. |
