I'm not watching... I'm yet to recover from Shanty town.

The cast list is not intriguing to say the least.

Using a cultural symbol/ Spiritual being for some to act such despicable character is a no for me. No where in history has it been seen that Eyo was killing people.

Exactly. What a bad portrayal of he eyo culture to the outside world.

I've been steering clear of anything that has to do with the movie before because of #AsiwajuBaby.

I tried to enjoyed the movie, it was a wash.

Waste of time. It's just a collection of celebrities having a good time, almost like a skit on a global scale.

The hype around Mr Bakre is just ridiculous. We have more seasoned and talented actors that can execute the major lead role properly. Gabby Afolayan etc.

The scriptwriting is just shallow. Good cameras but lacks the form of a great movie.
Now producers and directors are only good at marketing and hyping mediocrity.

Thoroughly disappointed.

After lionheart, I give up on movies, if they like hype it for one year I no dey watch.

Used Eyo to portray evil, gang members were easy to find and penetrate, how can you kill someone and still allow his offspring to work for you/ protect your daughter. Fighting scenes are not Nigerian like we use guns and knife here. Black Kamaru sabi act sha

All I’m seeing are mainly Yoruba names, so I guess they made it for Yoruba peeps. I also don’t understand yoruba language so won’t be watching.

So you didn't see Chioma Chukwuka, and Chike Osebuka abi?

LMAO.

Nahhhh, I am convinced there is something really wrong with "Nigerians" 'cause the trend is always the same.

The very first time these movies come out, oh my God, they'd literally have a platform in the stars. Only for a few days to pass before you'll now start seeing legit criticism.

Me I was not even going to watch it because of Toyin Abraham already, but now that you and Folake don't rate it, nothing spoil. πŸ˜„


To imagine one girl was calling people "airheads" and saying they'd be missing out/hurting themselves over their decisions not to watch, lmao.

I downloaded the movie from fzmovie.net.

I just wasted 2hours of my life watching that movie. It's all about king of the street and what not, musicians trying to form gangster. Like zanku master.

But if the producers were my relative and asked for my opinion I would just shut up and say " it was the best movie I ever watched"

I feel you bro

I don't know why they do that.

Like, don't they realise it is counter-productive?

It is just like you cooking and using ALL the spices, because of course, they are sweet and they give food distinctive tastes individually, but nor be to come pour everything inside because you want a rich taste.

Wasted 2hrs watching the movie

E no worth the hype one bit

Sigh... This is what I'm talking about.

So many movie professionals that I know really slammed the flick.

Where do we keep getting it wrong?!!

Wedding Party, Omo Ghetto, Elevator Baby, October 1, etc, were able to pull it off... They did by keeping things original and simple in the Naija way!

When you try to go overboard, you better have the strong story, directing and stunt organization to pull it off!

Even all these Indian action movies don't seem to also get it!

It's not just about copying and pasting! Give the movie roles serious life! Haba!!

Maybe I will just pass after all! SMH!

I watched it. I was reluctant at first but I ended up watching. Up till now, I don't know how to rate the movie. I just weak. Too much acting everywhere. Actors that naturally flow in movies appeared to be aware that someone is shooting them.

I don't know, maybe because they know it ought to be action movie, all of them were just overacting, stressing words , their mouths and muscles unnecessarily. I don't just understand.

Did you live in Lagos-mainlands between 1990's and 2000's? People disguised as eyo masquerades during festivals to settle dirty scores. So,its true.

Apt!!!!!!! Too many ingredients itself spoil the meal and instead of the food to become savoury, it gives a slappy taste. lipsrsealed

As for the counter-productivity? I think they should stop hiring cheap creative writers but it's Nollywood, they do not want to pay money for quality script writers and that's why they keep churning out stupid movies.

Nigeria movie not always instresting

Highly disagree!

Elevator Baby
October 1
'76
The Figurine
Omo Ghetto
Wedding Party


Were all awesome and worth their production efforts.

I think it always goes wrong when producers and directors try to imitate what has already been done by Hollywood!

I know it never ends well with Indian movies too!

Action flicks are not bad... But, we should stay natural and steep it into our African and Nigerian cultures.

Ah Perse. 🀣🀣🀣

After seeing "Chief Daddy" with its star studded cast, I learnt my lesson the bitter way.

I understand you dear. You go just weak for the movie plot.

Their action movies are wackyyyyy. They should just stick to their Lekki houses and Third Mainland movies scene instead.

I saw it after the hype was down, I was seeing a series so I completed that first before I reluctantly clicked on Shanty town. The movie was dragged, first four episodes seem like eternity of plot setting. At some point I almost stopped watching. LoL

Toyin was in the last episode, a little trailer for continuation. I guess there will be a part two. I enjoyed the martial arts though but that scene was terribly dragged. Sigh πŸ˜” I don't want to refresh my memory of it. Make he just fade biko.

LoL. A girl did that? For a movie? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
