D same way I don't know Regina Daniels but I c her on nairaland.

Why would I lie?

But truth most Nigerians apart Igbo's don't know that movie,my opinion though

Jonathan:


Shut up, where did he mention anything like hate?
Nonsense!

Denton027:

King of boys was massively overrated, doubt it will even get any larger audience than the Nigerian one.

Denton027:

Dumb yoruba insecure idiot, of course everything that relates to Igbos is always competition to your effeminate whining pu**ies, see how a mere thread on a movie brought out the morbid bigotry in you. All over Facebook and other social media platforms, the movie is getting rave reviews from not only Nigerians but other Africans and even foreigners home and abroad, my Ghanaian, Liberian, South African and Cameroonian etc friends were even praising the movie more than the Nigerians! It even took a foreigner to convince me to see the movie on Netflix until I did today. While the movie was NOT Oscar worthy by any standards , it definitely did enough to promote the beauty of the Igbo business acumen, language, and ingenuity...AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERED TO ME. For all your hype about all the thrash movies produced by your yoruba geniuses, how come none of them aren't getting this much attention internationally like Lion heart? Despite splashing more budgets and casting all the " list" oyinbo actresses like your useless wedding party and the likes, yet a multi billion dollar company like Netflix appreciated the simplicity and authenticity of Lion heart and rushed to put it on their platform!

Keep hating till you die, but all facts and indices will always point to Igbos as the true pioneers of Nollywood. Name any yoruba actor or actress besides maybe Olu Jacob and Omotola that are more popular than the likes of Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Genevive, Rita Dominic, Kanayo, Clem Ohameze, Kenneth Okonkwo etc...

And no Ben Murray Bruce didn't start jack shit
.go to Wikipedia Yoruba's have been making money since d 70s and 80s it was when u guys flooded d market with cassettes it collapsed.

Even d first movie to make money for siverbird galleria owned by Ben Murray Bruce was irapada a complete yoruba movie,it made 5 million naira the highest grossing movie of the time,why didn't any Igbo film make profit for him rubbish.

Irapada opened Nigeria cinema up and that's we started getting international recognition.

U think kunle afolayan is call Nigeria Spielberg for nothing? Shior!!

I used to hate Nigerian films. But some movies have actually impressed me. Sylvia, 73, King of Boys. Those had substance. Lionheart cannot compare to any of those stated. It is a good try but quite overhyped. It's a movie that doesn't engage its viewers. A real good movie grips you. Over 10, i give it a 3. What was really spectacular about it was the quality cameras, lighting and color-grading. The sound quality was good but direction was awful, those comic sounds should not be used for Drama movies. It's obvious, netflix bought this to support the Nigerian film industry, not for its quality.

Princedapace:


Do u have to mention hate for anyone to know what u are implying?

My point is make ur point but stop the "no igbo director reach these yoruba directors bla bla bla"

See a movie as a movie and not as an ethnic product. I hated wedding party, I didn't even look at it from yoruba point of view. I didn't even write a review. I just didn't like it and no one heard me speak or mention yoruba this and that.

Ojukwubucket:



No mind that NOBODY......

The kind of hatred SOME or should I say MANY " their people" have on Igbos eh.....they find it very difficult to hide it....Very few of them don't hate the igbos ....I notice it every time......but we go see who go tire.....
One day speaking my Igbo language jejely o...one Y guy close by started asking me to speak what they can all understand..... I MAD FOR D GUY BODY ..sharp sharp..lol...
Odi egwu.....

uchennamani:
Don't say that boss. I'm Igbo. There are good takes one can see from the movie. The actors were great. Peter of P-Square part was unnecessary. Same with Phyno. Actors don't make good movies stand out. Good story and directing does. It is when you have a good story, good directing that good actors kill their parts.

Talking as about the story. You must agree with me that there was no conflict in the movie. Many questions were not answered. Did Lionheart win the BRT contract? The BRT contra t was central to the movie. Sadly, we didn't see then end of the conflict. The character that Pete Edochie played took borrowed huge sum of money to buy buses so as to be able to win the BRT contract. We don't know.

The camera angle was bad as well. Most of the scenes were outright bad.

Is there any Igbo movie that can beat kunle afolayan AND ebony life studios, I'm waiting.

Yoruba make film that yemi osibanjo had to create time for to watch.
Not your hype

I appreciate your comments. However, I don’t think ppl should be discouraged from watching the movie. I watched and in my opinion it was great. Others should too and make a judgment.


Secondly, i don’t think it’s overhyped compared to how ebony studios do publicity, lion heart is a learner.

alBHAGDADI:
You have been viewing this whole thing via tribal lens. To you, everyone criticizing it are doing so because they aren't Igbo or because they hate igbos, whereas igbos are also criticizing it.

Netflix has lots of shitty movies to the point that when I see a movie is owned by Netflix, I just immediately skip it because it's usually crap. You keep hammering on millions of dollars. Do you know what that is?

Please, stop viewing things based on tribalism or else you will never progress.

KingThreatzz:


Negroes like you ehn, they have to get everything right in the storyline that won't undermine your intelligence. That's the way forward. Nice review.

Princedapace:


I understand where u are coming from. I share same sentiment too.. But wedding party suffered the same fate. The problem is usually lack of action. I watched wedding party and I was angry with the storyline. Kinda same I want to marry u, her family no like me, his family no like me but we ended up marrying last last..


Unlike the lionheart, this story line is about business. Though I understand the script lacks suspense. Went too fast and scenes are predictable. But for bringing something quite new to us in terms of business enterprise of the east, promoting the culture of east and north in a modern way, I love that. I think that is what she wanted to achieve. The problem is with the lack of suspense and action.

Psquare's role was so irrelevant lol its not by force to cast musicians

When I watched wedding party, did u see any where we started comparing the wedding party with movies directed by igbos?

That is the point, u could have criticized the movie as movie sake, but bringing yoruba directors to compete is stupidity.. It is hatred.

I downloaded it but it was predominantly Igbo language so I did a lot of fast forwarding.

The movie is just hype....story was predictable and had no wow factor.....a 5/10 for me......only thing I really liked was that it promotes unity.

The movie was crap,rubbish.

No wow factor and why would I waste my time listening to Igbo why not English and add a little Igbo.

She quickly ran to Netflix when she couldn't compete at home and hyped d crap_so boring.

I'm sure it was because of some ppl she did that movie that way.
