Like a Dragon: Yakuza........2.5/10


Premium and utter shite whatsoever how you look at it. Should I have known it's a gaming adaptation from Amazon I would have ignored. These people are just bad at adaptations.

Just two episodes in local man just can't no more. Didn't even finish ep 2 before I deleted that tr@sh.
No coherent story, just throwing shït at the wall and hoping something sticks. I h@te and don't even care for the characters. Cheap fight choreography sef...the main thing that drew me in with the trailer thinking I might get something a bit closer to Warrior.

I notice same thing ricochet also does. At some point, you just need to learn to ignore trolls.

You mean am..... Höly shït!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

A Masterpiece awaits then. I'll be there no matter what!!

Illusioneffect:
From your explanation it's like the writers and directors have never entered a plane or know how a heist or hijack happens. Normally, writers research for months just to get a good script but it's like they just dreamed up the story

Kaycee7:
The writers seem to be tired of the saga at this point and just want to wrap this shït up

samistry:
There's no explanation given on why Jey forgave Jimmy. They're really rushing the story rather than go at an even pace.
War games doesn't take place until 1st December. There's still a lot of time to build things up.

"Hijack'93" (2024)

Everyone involved in this mess should be arrested: the cast, the director, the producer, the extras, even the Netflix execs who okayed it… I mean everybody!



Forgive the long review, but it comes from a place of intense anger. 😩

When the trailer first came out, we thought the only issue might be the wrong use of props. But after watching the actual movie, it’s clear that was just a small part of the problem.

Without mincing words, this might be the worst Nollywood flick I’ve seen in a long while. This hogwash has set the industry back by at least 10 years… it’s absolutely irredeemable.

The plot was a madhouse: zero coherence, zero structure, zero character development. It felt like they were just throwing random scenes in, hoping something would stick and none of it did. Clearly, no one in the writers’ room was thinking straight. There’s even a scene where the supposed Nigerian special forces try to rescue a Chinese diplomat's son from the hijacked plane by sending him poisoned food so he’ll get sick. When he’s taken off the plane, they plan to give him an antidote. Yes, they actually acted out this insane idea 😭😭

The use of modern props stripped the movie of any 1993 ambience, it was the most modern-looking “period” flick ever. Without the title, you’d think this adapted event happened last year.

The background story wasn’t engaging enough to justify an adaptation imo. Given that Nigeria barely keeps records, they were working with a topic that had very few documented firsthand details; of course they’d run into plot holes.

The plot follows four supposedly oppressed youths who want to “save” Nigeria from a corrupt government. So, they’re somehow convinced to hijack a plane and divert it to Frankfurt so they can start new lives. How does that fight against a bad government? To make things worse, the movie paints these characters as heroes.

There were so many random, unexplained events, and it seemed like they just expected viewers to connect dots that didn’t even exist. They had the audacity to throw in a Yoruba vs. Igbo tribal war trope for no apparent reason, and it was a cringe fest. That popular fair-skinned guy from Twitter played one of the hijackers, and he would randomly burst into the cabin with a gallon of fuel, threatening to douse everyone, yet there’s zero explanation of how the fuel got onto the plane. The whole thing was so chaotic.

Like 30 mins to the end, it didn't even care what happened, didn't care for the hijackers, i didn't care for the hostages, that's how little they sold the characters and story to me. I just kept it as BG noise and started streaming El Çlassico on another device, imagine missing Barça Youngins, pasting Madrid, 4 kolo in their own backyard? E for too pain me 😭, as that was an all timer El Çlassico, it hasn't been that good since Messi and CR7 used to go band for band.

Normally, everyone involved in this hogwash supposed to dey sleep cell by now😩. Save your sanity and avoid this flick at all costs. It’s a terrible example of where the industry should not be headed.

2/10.

No vex. Flick system is always ruthless.
Even almighty Bayern wey dey always pipe us for 7 years now collect too, despite a somewhat similar playing style.

We have a technical genius manager. Simple.
