Tongues wagging is used for a negative situation
Doesn’t sit well explaining a positive review
It means gossip

You don't need to say "lie here and there". It was my experience, respect it. Just like I respect yours.

It is an open fact that in the olden days Yoruba warriors chanted incantations in wars. Not fighting like Romans with swords.

Yourbas didnt have arena like Spartacus where they fight.

Go and watch "the woman king" - they tried to copy that movie and it turned bad.

Viewers will get carried away with the wacky storyline because of the visual effect. It's not a well thought out my movie.

That's my experience. You have yours and I respect it.

As for me, Anikulapo remains far Number 1

Oga
Nah Movie
Just Rest

So I heard

Now between orisa by odun and jagun jagun, which one is the best

Is Orisa out?

Demayour:


That's what happens when the perception of Yoruba culture is based only Lalude, Ábíjà, Fadeyi et al.

Yorubas used arrows, machetes etc and fought on horses.

To think some people believe Yorubas never used swords and the likes don't know their history at all.

Any movie with too much hype always ends being disappointing.

The woman king was not hyped much and it ended up the best African movie in a decade so far, to me.

We're can I download the movie since I don't have Netflix

I understand the subtle advert and promo. But most Yoruba movies are always about charms, demonic incantations,etc. Apart from that, it becomes empty..

They should outgrow that stage, seriously...

I prefer king of thieves better

Oga, Yorubas dont fight like Romans. That movie is a roman empire classic movie.

In the olden days, we read it that the two commanders will face themselves and chant incantations till one commander overwhelms the other. Then fight will ensue.

The film misrepresents Yoruba culture so badly. Go and watch the "woman king" on netflix - it was a failed attempt to replicate it.

One of the aspects I love most about the movie, Jagun-jagun is that its slight deviation from the usual representations of ancient Yoruba warfare in films.

It's understandable if some of us erroneously believe that Yoruba did go to wars with charms only--that's one of the damages Yoruba Nollywood has done to our history and our orientations.

Some are so surprised to see the display of martial arts in Jagun-jagun. They query how Yoruba warriors could engage in sword fights like they see in Chinese movies. It's not their fault, it's because of the standards set by the Nollywood. Though, this is not the first time of seeing sword fights in Yoruba movies, I think the same was done in the "Ogun Abele Ti Je," if my memory serves me right, only that this Jagun-jagun is one of it's kind in the recent time.

We need to start unlearn somethings we learned in the past. We would definitely witness more of such introductions and reintroductions in Nigerian movies henceforth. One of them is shoes.

NOTE: in addition, the shapes and formations of Yoruba swords are different. Also, our iron and it's products were black, not white.

kokoA:
Half of the movie was "slow motion", I hate that. Why must every fight scene in nollywood be in slow motion? The storyline was quite predictable to. Anyways, I will give it an 8/10 by nollywood standard, it is better than all the nollywood movies I've seen this year.

really? I guess you didn't pay attention to the movie

note :the movie is not an epic true-life story but a fiction. Baba na fiction so it's all about suiting the writer's imagination not to depict a real life story.

Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Ida (Sword) and Ada (Cutlass) you mean to say?

raskymonojendor:
That movie na 10/10. It's "almost" placed in the same category as the Oleku, Saworoide, Koseegbe e.t.c


100%. Oyo and the Ijebus had calvaries (Soldiers on horses).

Yorubas had swords called "ida" not to be mistaken for "ada" cutlass. Different pronunciation.

See the way they are praising him because he is an apc man but if it was Funke Akindele now they would have started talking rubbish about her just because she contested against APC in lagos.

MT:
Wacky storyline. Nice visual effect.

Yorubas don't fight like Spartacus in war or in a fight challenge, the ending is so predictable and the story line is so tacky - A bad replica of "the woman king" movie.

Femi Adebayo, dressing like a roman king, which I found so alien - should not have acted that part - Chatta or Lalude could have been spot on.

Wars were fought like Romans army with swords. Yorubas used charms to fight in their wars.

All in all, for me:

Story Line - 20%

Visual Effect - 65%

Anikulapo movie still remains distant number 1.

You must also believe olden days chinese people fly in the sky when fighting 😁
The movie bam jor

Akasammyoka:
Am surely downloading this one, hope there is translator, CU's man don't hear shit in Yoruba

It has a subtitle.

OLOKOESHIN:

Is Orisa out?

Yes

Netflix

Don't argue with him, so Yoruba will fight with people who do not understand her language and you will be chanting up and down.

jagorinho:


Lol at your ignorance, most of the casualties in the Yoruba wars were by hacking, how many people dey use guns that time.please if you do not know much on a subject, you can always read more on it.

So upon say you are above 18 years you still believe charm as any significant effect in war ?

May your brain develop fully with time sha.

Daniel Regan...is that you

Wolexyoshi:

Ida (Sword) and Ada (Cutlass) you mean to say?

Yes. Thanks.

JI beg i beg, yoruba should stop all these juju films...they should concentrate on using modern technology in their war films. These are the kind of films Sunday igboho watch that motivate him to believe he can create yoruba nation with mere cow horn and broom. I go try watch the film anyway.

Stopped watching after 20 minutes and deleted it. They put a bit of effort into the production but I found the acting and story sub par. Not my kind of movie but I score them high for effort.

You're weird if you think that movie is not far better than Anikulapo and who the hell told you Yorubas don't fight with swords! It's either you're not yoruba or you don't know your history. Overall, I'll give it a 8/10 cos the only flaw in it is the fact that they used a different coffin when they edited the effect of that coffin under the river. Aside that, the story and acting is 100. Maybe you should watch it again. With an open mind this time cos it's obvious you've already condemned it in your mind before you watched it.

Mynd44:

You have seen too many Abija and Fadeyi oloro movies sir.

The Yoruba states and those outside it fought large wars consisting of swords, aches, guns and the likes.

You think 2 thousand soldiers will face each other and be chanting?

Mynd44 you sabi blow lie sha

You so funny, so people will face each others in thousands and chanting incantations, and you'd call that a war?? Think am now, for me if I didn't witness ogun kiriji...
I was at ife and modakeke war. Live and direct
Stop talking base on assumptions

No bros. They used swords, guns and any other things. They used incantations because some of the soldiers are fortified. I mean why stress yourself when a cutlass or sword can simply do the job.

You don't know yorubas culture.
Yorubas have been trading in guns with Portuguese for long and swords with the Northerners. Yorubas use both,where did yoruba get their original word for sword which is IDA from.They even have many proverbs around swords (IDA).
Proverb like "kinni n yo Ida ni apo?oro",meaning what can lead to drawing sword from the its jacket if not words"..meaning, disagreement in words can led to drawing of swords to one and other!

I don't watch Nigerian films oo. Lol

Even foreign films I don't watch all cos I don't want to get upset with what I see unless I'm bored.
