Things I disagree with..
1. Nancy's acting was actually average. As usual, her role wasn't exactly challenging.
2. Some of the dialogue felt over garnished. People do not necessarily talk like that in real life. An example, is the scene with RMD and Nancy.. I found his story unnecessary.
3. The nudity. Some of it was unnecessary. Felt like the producers were too intentional with the R18 thing. It was like they were too excited for it.
4. The plot is just there.. when people watch a movie for an actor more than they do for the plot, isn't always a good thing.

Shanty Town should be retitled "Chidi Mokeme" . Where has this guy being all these years? He would have been a better "Makanaki" in KOB. Wow! Man's Hollywood standard. shocked I could see the entire 6 episodes just because of him otherwise, nothing new about the story. RMD normally no get mate so no need to mention. Take Chidi and RMD out then you'd have "Shitty Town".

Whoever sat in the decision room and said, “we must call Chidi Mokeme for a reading”, “we must use Chidi Mokeme”, is blessed. GOD bless that person.

I agree...

9/10 is too generous
Yes the acting all round was good but the plot was bad and too basic and they dragged it out for toolong.The fight scenes and CGI need major improvements too.
5/10 is okay.

To buttress on your number 2 point, it was toomuch and it got quite annoying.
Even when Iniedo was reading RMD his rights at the end I was like wtf undecided real people don't talk like that at all.

They wrote 18+ for a reason, Children should NOT be watching anything that has 18+ on it. I don't understand how people parent these days, when we were younger there were people that were not even allowed to watch any Nollywood movies.

As a parent, why will you see 18+ SNLV, and continue watching such a thing with your children? If it was released in the cinemas, do you know they will not sell ticket to anyone under 18? It is not the work of movie makers to keep movies kid friendly, it is your work as a parent to filter what your kids watch.

Make everybody come dey watch cocomelon because you born?

Not everything is family friendly, the nudity is there because the movie is for adults. Check for Ratings before you call your children for movie night.
So we should send children away when you want to watch a movie? That would raise their curiosity and trust them they will satisfy it. Nudity should be toned down on our screens.

[quote author=westfield post=120244115]I don't know if it's the same shanty town that is showing on Netflix that you watched....9/10 are you joking?

How can a dead person send a voice note? Explain

What was that rubbish at the end of the movie?

Script writing 6/10

Whole Movie 5/10[/quote)
My issue is with the ending. Life imprisonment for rape In such situation? In Nigeria? Despite evidences of more heinous crimes. The ending was so subpar. Chidi's role was the only excellent thing about the movie.

@safarigirl what do you mean by “ MC Oluomo would be proud, every agbero in Lagos would be proud”

Are you implying agbero’s are murderers, brothel-running criminal syndicates with a reputation for drugs dealings? This allusion is totally unfair to the hardworking men & women of the transport unions. I make bold to say that they are more relevant to the economic well-being of Nigerian & Nigerians than most ivory tower workers. We all know the impact if/when they decide to go on strike. Pls respect their labor and stop conflating them with criminals.

Gracias!
Economic impact of agberos Are you fr??

Finally got to see this...

To be honest I rate it a 6...

Chidi Mokeme (Scar) scenes carried this show...

Could have given it a 7 but the fight scenes in the last episode was just below par reason I go down to a 6...

Meanwhile... scar going for such a mission with the governor and he no jazz up was quite surprising...

Zubby's one liners was always funny... body dey pepper me... grin everywhere good... grin give that man chance... grin

To be honest, I don't think season 2 will be strong without the character scar... fingers crossed though...

I wasn't going to review it, because it's been in the cinemas and I assumed there would be reviews already.

If I can, I'll review it sometime today.
