why do we have to put tribe into everything in this country.
lion heart is not nollywood glory again but eastern movie glory.

you guys igbolized the nollywood, bastardised it and now claiming eastern movie.

30 days in Atlanta review was extremely bad in naiarland here but it didn't stop it success


I know their type...
...not that other tribes don't understand them, but they don't understand other tribe

... not that other tribes want to control them, but they want to control other tribes

... not that they are strong rather they are hardened

... disoriented characters that have confused individual achievements for collective achievements

... strong enough to insist on having their ways but extremely weak when it comes to letting others have theirs

... problems are always external, the faults are always someone else ... because it's either their ways or highway


within same week, sandra Bullock got awards for worst actress and best actress, these are based on reviews

I have always said it that the number of Pull Him/Her Down syndrome (PHD's) holders in Nigeria is very high.
You see people trying to discredit every good and wonderful thing from the other person just because of hate. Everybody (almost everybody) attack everything destructively. Hardly will you see a genuine constructive criticism.
Imagine people are down here attacking a film bought by a multi-billion dollar worldwide film streaming platform... And to even hear some say "Netflix is overrated" even sickens me the more... These are people who don't know the difference between a Netflix Original and other movies on Netflix. So since Netflix decided to come to Nollywood and to Genevieve Nnaji, Netflix is now overrated abi? In a certain Governors voice I say "This is Iberiberism of the highest order!"

With their myopic reviewing, they are forming over Sabi and "thinking" for Netflix cos they are wiser than Netflix and her Board of directors..., they have already concluded that #LionheartTheMovie has no story line... even when world renowned news platforms like CNN and BBC has talked about the movie and places it on the HIGH?
Some even say it's predictable but at the same time, keep ask in anger why Osuofia had to gate crash into a particular scene... OK, since you said it's predictable, why then didn't it happen your way probably the discussion should have been done in the open so that Osuofia can see them easily... But they forget that in real life, God can make u wander about just to meet your destiny helper in the least place that you can ever imagine? No nah! they can't see that because in their lives, everything is perfect! Nonsense! Like seriously it's very pathetic!

People are here (including all those greedy, wicked and jealous filmmakers) talking what I don't know but a whole New York Times has tagged this film the best from Nollywood.
It's very funny and indeed extremely pathetic!
One thing about this life is that you will always have people who will talk and gossip NONSENSE about your SENSE! But these people have never produced any thing that is overwhelming and that is if they have ever produced anything.
But the truth still remains that, #LionheartTheMovie by Genevieve Nnaji is still the best thing to happen to Nollywood and the entire African movie industry... It is a standard for other films and filmmakers in both Nollywood and Africa as a whole. It's a standard that they should all look up to for progress of they want to go global... (Although I am still a fan/activist of having a One Movie Industry in the whole of Africa and calling it Nollywood. Imagine the AMVCA's being an African Academy Award instead of just a viewers choice award?)

If I were all these filmmakers, I will throw away nonsense pride and go and genuinely congratulate Genevieve Nnaji and beg her to teach me and then I would bend down obediently and learn from her because:
1) She is the face of African Cinema, she is Nollywood's Sweetheart and now Nollywood's Lionheart! Lol!

2) She is global and there is absolutely nothing anybody can do about it.

3) Her movie and production/directing is global. You can rate it anyhow you want to rate it, it's your business and not that of Netflix, CNN, BBC, New York Times, etc. and

4) She has made Nollywood global!
These are facts!

You all have a nice day and let's all delete envy and jealously from our life and timeline! Because, e no day pay gan!

Sonsogo!!!

Me nor dey do anything nollywood before

Whether Lionheart abi na the wedding party or 30 days in Atlanta . Dey are all crap. You nor go learn anything reasonable

If i want watch movie i go settle down watch foreign movies.

Imagine terminator 2 was a able to reveal that nitrogen gas destroy alloys
The sense of humour and the use of English in foreign movies can make you want to watch it over and over again

manny4life:


You're absolutely right that Netflix does not rate nor guarantee acceptability, the viewers do, but Netflix doesn't accept any junk on their platform, any Netflix subscriber knows this. Movies aired on Netflix have to meet rigid standards of acceptability, and they as a corporation, just don't buy rights to a movie because they feel like it, they paid almost $4million because they felt it was a good movie and would certainly appeal to their audience. Just like Netflix Originals, if this movie succeeds on their platform, who knows, she would be invited to write African content for them.

SalamRushdie:
Read South West review of anything at your own peril , it's usually driven by tribal sentiments before any other thing ..Yet this same southwest reviewers will rate Chief Daddy high only for you to go the cinema and feel some other type of way

Shikini:
The topic is misleading.
Ugezi Ugezi was talking about Nigerian reviewers in general - Igbo, Yoruba, Niger Delta etc.

Misleading headlines like this that pitch Igbos against Yorubas should be discouraged.
The author's post has no tribal colouration but nairaland has painted it with tribal colours

Pekele007:


Is Netflix headquarter now in Lagos abi which kine Illiterate be this one

She brought it with her legs to Lagos you meant


Is it Only Yorubas that stay in Lagos or don't you know it's a no man's land?

PythonAmaka:

The retort is in your reply. There are wack movies on Netflix. Netflix ain't Oscar academy

Actually it's the Igbo pitching themselves against the yorubas their helpers since 1971. I wonder why this now, that they think they have arrived with lions heart. Afterall, Genevieve cut her ungrateful teeth in Lagos. Nonsense.

FisifunKododada:


I have not seen Lionheart (though I have it on my list) yet so I won't comment on it. But, guy I am a Netflix subscriber of many years and trust me there are tons of crappy movies on Netflix.

Ziggylady:



She is trying to capture human audience that is why Netflix and NewYork times recognised her..As we speak she is 3.8Million Dollars richer..

Go figure.

alhassanyusuf29:
nyamuri flat.head.. they always of bringing tribe into anything

PythonAmaka:
The movie is mostly being reviewed by her own people who share innate amount of hate towards each other.
Neflix buys contents, it does make no much difference from other works from Africa, even at that, her work hasn't yet been rated a top 5 among other classics in Nigeria, much less.
No tribe could be jealous of Igbo works since they are just a replica of many other successful works which other tribes have achieved before theirs.


python amaka

unmask:
It is funny that someone takes movie critics as tribal... The same new York times the op is hailing has probably criticised movies the op thought was excellent. Besides articles are usually the perspective of an individual and not the view of the organisation (New York times)

That being said I watched the movie and I rated it a 5/10....which to me is a fair reflection of what I watched.....You can't bully anybody to call a spade a club..... If you enjoyed the movie good...if you didn't also good

Adebowale89:
seems no Igbo people can talk without making everything tribalistic. why the hate for west again


this same Genevieve didn't enter stardom in that undeveloped five eastern states. she made it to the top in Lagos and she had never feel inferior about the great movie she made


Lionheart regardless is seen as Nigeria movie and she did a good work but that doesn't mean there won't be a critic in one handwork. not everyone will like your handwork


these Igbo should receive sense
