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 are getting this much attention internationally like Lion heart? Despite splashing more budgets and casting all the "Z list" oyinbo actresses like your useless wedding party and the likes, none of them made it past the majorly Nigerian audience and cinemas... 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 local 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...the reason lots of African and Carribean countries know lots of Nigerian words like "tufiakwa", "Chineke", "Igwe must hear this..." and many more are because of the huge cultural impacts of Nollywood which of course promotes the Igbo culture MORE IN THE LIMELIGHT than any other in Nigeria... FACTS NOT FEELINGS.

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.

KingThreatzz:


Izu Ojukwu us actually terrific. His movie isnt about the civil war. 73 was a story built around the setting of Murtala Mohammed's assasination. He is on the same league with Kunle Afolayan.

KingThreatzz:


Funny enough, i dont like any of Ebonylife films. They always miss the point. If we dont point out flaws in Nigerian movies, these people will keep dishing garbage and celebrating mediocrity. All over the world movie industries are developing and they start by having great storylines. Why should we be off?

harry41:
I think we have come a long way and gained international recognition. Every country is known for their type of movies so comparing our Nigerian type of movies wouldn’t be a fair game. I encourage constructive criticism and not discouraging ppl outrightly from viewing the movie. I will celebrate our milestones and encourage ourselves to do better. My two cents

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

Jonathan:

Oh ! That’s why you hate yoruba so much?
I get it now

missyblissy:
The movie is not boring. It reminds of the squabble between two transport companies in Nsukka, Enugu State 16 years ago.

Its a great movie with many words of wisdom!!

leave those people shouting Netflix. As if Netflix is a standard for rating movies. they don't even know that there are worse movies on Netflix.

zcee:

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.

uchennamani:
Perhaps you saw another movie. The movie I watched was predictable, bad cinematography, bad directing, bad scene play and lack of substance in the story. There was virtually no conflict. It is the conflict that make good movie stand out. The actors were great, no doubt. Still, you should admit that the movie would have been better if Nkem Owoh played the villain.

Some actors are good in some roles. It doesn't mean they are below par with others. Is is how best for them to showcase their craft. She should cast Nkem Owoh as the villain.

A talented actor doesn't translate to good director. Forget what you saw in the on the credits. Genevieve Nnaji was practically involved in directing the movie. It was a bad job. Kemi Adetiba would have done better. Kunle Afoloyan as well.

toboy:
I remember this squabble. the two transport company were competing for customers thereby reducing the tfare from Nsukka to Lagos to a Chicken change (I think N500-100). Students started going back home to Lag every weekends . It might not be up 16 years. Was still a teenager then.

chykz47:

investorMK:

thetruth200:

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

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

Lamiri:
I didn't see his relevance maybe Genevieve borrowed money from him to shoot the movie and I turn he asked for a role (am just saying)

enemmo:


Biko, ebony life studio movies are horrible.

Hype , hype and more hype.

I enjoyed the humour in the movie.

The culture , the food and dressing was on point.

The story at a point was dragging on and on..but It wasn't predictable a bit.

PS Peter Okoye should stick to his day job, Phyno was just okay.
Onyeka was brilliant. Same as Nkem Owoh, Pete , Genevieve and the Hausa man, Sani.

Vtrd:

who the fucck is this guy?

Cinema is controlled by Yorubas.? You must be high out of your goddamn mind.
Ben Murray Bruce started the modern cinema culture in Nigeria and since then many people from every where has dived in.
Yoruba own nothing.

The vast majority of what is internationally known as Nollywood today is igbo centric in nature.
The most internationally recognised actors, the biggest producers.
Even foreigners still believe igwe is the name for any Nigerian king.

I don't like to unnecessarily claim things, but sorry, igbos created Nollywood.
It has our imprint.
Whatever the likes of kunle afolyan is doing today is a fruit of the igbo nollywood.
He is leveraging on the markets igbos have long created with the movie industry.

The authentic Nollywood is igbo. Anything else is a counterfeit.

IloveToMess:


Abeg it is OYIBO not oyinbo, dont follow those pained Yorubas to spoil our spelling. Dobt mind those Yorubas they will always claim things they don't know how it started. The whole of Africa today know Nollywood with Igbo language, go to Kenya as a Nigerian and they will call you Igwe. Igbo is Nollywood and Nollywood is Igbo period. Ask those yorubas how many yorubas actors are known outside Nigeria except Omotola and ofcourse Olu Jacobs who we made popular with our Igwe roles we gave him to act over the years else he would have been like all those names they keep mentioning here and one keeps wondering who the fucck they are.

chukwugoziegi:


Onyeka out did herself. That woman is a Legend abeg. Pete Edochie too and Nkem Owoh, Genevieve 5/10. 3 actresses who would have done justice to the Adaeze character, Nse Ekpe, Toni Tones and Mercy Johnson.
The Hausa/Igbo romance was what cracked me up. I won't be surprised one bit if it was Atiku who dropped money for this movie as all na calculation now since Election dey come.

hansomb:

,and the HAUSA man ? must you attached tribe to everything.
