Ideally, true.
Realistically? Not really. Because most people who would be watching these movies are African plus very few Afro Americans and Afro Caribbean ... and maybe, just maybe a smattering of white people.


O pari

I concur but I believe we are getting there.

Lionheart is anything incredible but over rated. The movie like others like phone swap, castle and castle, Abuja Wives and lots more are cool movies with good story lines and great quality delivery and acting. A sharp contrast to the typical boring nollywood movies where you already know the end from the beginning. Let's appreciate our own. Castle and castle can comfortably stand shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood's Boston Legal without the Superb acting of one and only Raymond Readington. Nigeria movies are going places.

Raymond reddington dey scatter my dada aswr

You need to reason deeper my friend, look at the zeal, the effort to keep a dying business from dying or being taken over by someone else. If only you've been through the business line you'll know what I'm talking about

It's not all by running to Netflix and hyping your movie my people
Can you just appreciate the fact that the world is getting a wave of nollywood and not start talking down on the movie ? At least Genevieve did something have you done any ?

I hope Nigerian movies get better.

It can be really painful and cringe worthy to sit and watch most Nigerian English movies.

Most Nigerian actors lack proper delivery of their roles. They aren't natural at all. They take a role and either overact or under act it. One of the reasons I love Funlola Aofiyebi. She can act. Genevieve, Omotola and co try too hard.

Special effects. For heaven's sake learn how to mimic the effects of firearms and blood. Enough of firecracker sounds and effects whenever someone fires what looks like a toy gun.

And the storyline...?

I'd love to watch more of Nigerian movies but it's painful to see them trying to copy Hollywood and doing a poor job.

Why not tell our own Nigerian stories?

Alter Ego That was Omotola's worst movie to be sincere. Her acting was totally suspicious.

gbam! cheesy why are we always trying to copy hollywood.why not act our own stories..and the shooting effects whenever an actor fires a gun is so poor.since d late 90s nollywood has still been using that firecracker sound.nigeria movies are the only movies u will see someone firing a machinegun at a vehicle and the windscreen will still be intact grin.

Even Bollywood is doing great. Good acting, good special effects. The only thing that spoils Bollywood is the singing and choreography in every damn movie they produce.

nope that singing and dancing is dhier own style of doing movie.indians have always been dancing and singing in their movies since d 1970s grin...its their style.nollywood on the other hand has very weak storylines and easily predictable stories.no suspence at all.

True that. Daily life in the hustle and bustle of Lagos alone is enough to produce countless interesting movies and series. We don't have much creativity in that industry.

The day I start looking at Nairaland critics of movies before watching is the day I start dying.

When people hype Acrimony and give it 10/10, praising Tyler Perry to high heavens and no one mentions Spike Lee Blackkksman, you know something is wrong or when people say Black Panther was over hyped.

Bunch of idiots thinking they have authorithy to say which movie is overates or not.

There's no such thing as Nigerian story. However, Nollywood which is owned and dominated by the Igbos tells Igbo stories
