Jagun Jagun (The Warrior)

I'm pleasantly surprised by the this Epic action Yoruba movie. First time ever!! The musical chants comb with the instrumentals are top notch. The plot and the fights scenes are good as well as the cinematography. The only short comings I observed was the part the actor was left in the coffin in the river , the edited part was not quite accurate , other than this, it's a very well delivered job for me. I wondered why the rating on IMDB showed 3.9 stars. Common! This movie deserves much more than that ! The casts , the effect, the sound and the music are all top notch. For me , this is the first epic Yoruba movie that really got my attention.

Was pleasantly surprised by this movie.

The start-studded cast of veteran Nolly wood actors all gave amazing performances. No one dropped the ball or phoned it in.

There were no unnecessary, unfunny "comedic" scenes by flavour-of-the-month social media skit makers that cant act their way out of a wet paper bag, as is the irritating trend nowadays and I'm here for it.

The plot was interesting with a few genuinely surprising twists

The costumes, sets, props, music and VFX were all cohesive and on point, showcasing the Yoruba culture, especially the dialog (although a bit of the nuance and implied meanings of certain parts will be lost on non-native speakers)

The fight sequences were also very well done with believable feel and heft to it

All in all, an excellent movie.

Now I can admit that Nollywood is finally ready to make movies that revovle around deified figures like Sango, Ogun, Oya, and so on, and doing it in appealing ways. The movie depicts the ideal mercenary warlord in an African setting. The storyline is particularly great with attention paid to ensure no stone is left untouched. The role of Adedimeji was fantastically played. He gave his all. The graphics and the motion are wonderful.

I haven't seen a Nollywood mood this fitful, although I agree that different movies come with different inputs and, thus, varying outcomes. I would like to see them borrow a leaf from this to up the bar further from here.

Massive kudos to everyone who was a part if the movie.

This is a masterpiece.

The excellent storyline is fast paced, combat is phenomenal and the Vfx used is a great leap from what we are all used to in nollywood.

Acting is top notch and I dare say this is an AMVCA award material.

Set design gave more life to the story with a very clear and adaptive use of natural elements like the mountain side.

More importance on the actually storyline, which creatively reflects some societal flaws in Africa's leadership.

Lateef, bukunmi and femi Adebayo really aced the screenplay with a strong presence and flawless acting.

Further applause to the director, producer, and editors of the great movie.

Big ups!

The Make, The Storyline, The Drama, The Action, The Tension, The Suspense, The Plot twist, The Rigidity and Authenticity of characters all woven to produce a wonderful movie.

This movie is everything you are searching for, especially when you want to feel empowered to do anything after a tough day💯.

An Embodiment of the Yorubas, A story that explains history and ancestral tradition in it's own way without diverting to impress viewers.

The actors did an incredible Job here and even left me looking through the Closing credits to the very end.

A cliff hanger to end the story, we will definitely be waiting for more of this.
