King of Boys

On a Nollywood scale I'll give this movie an 9 because of it's unique storyline and excellent production which sets it aside from other Nigerian movies but just like other Nigerian movies it was excessively long and had extras who didn't know their roles, some part of the movie was unrealistic eg. the fire on the cell part but that's not the issue, the issue is this; as i was watching the movie I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, after a few minutes of brainstorming I remembered where i had seen the movie before if you can't remember I'll remind you, it's Al Pacino meets Francis Ford, yes The Godfather II to be precise. My original rating was an 8 but because of it's lack of originality i give it a 4 on a world scale and 9 on Nollywood scale. If other Nigerian directors can learn from this and just remake Hollywood classics the Nigerian cinema would be a better place.

Not surprise that it is Kemi Adetiba on this one but everything about the film is the best of its kind so far in Nollywood. Of course there enough room for improvement. Cinematography was top notch but most impressive is the interpretation of the story.

This is a movie that portrays how Nigerian society is bn controlled, this movie is an eye opener to how deep corruption has bn and how far people can go to cover their tracks, I honestly never believed that I was driving and watching this movie, filled with tears and fear for our future, Kemis Adetiba honestly just narrowed down the problem we are facing in the society, corruption starts with us as an individual, we need to personally decide to stop it from us even if it will cost us our loved ones, that's how we can eradicate all these nonsense. Kemi Adetiba just shed light on our daily lives can be controlled a million miles away, this awesome film maker didn't limit cost of production, put her soul and tear and resources to producing not only Emmy awards rated movie but an inspirational movie to all(both old and young). The only criticism I have is Kemi Adetiba, you did extremely too good to be a Nigerian production. You gave us faith, hope, longevity and desire to know that Nigeria hasn't lost it all, there's still something positive to hold on to. Thank you Kemi Adetiba, May others do to you that which you cannot do for yourself.

Great movie, Few plot holes and all, but awesome Cinematography. (IMO: Terrible Sound Design), but awesome movie overall.

I had to open an account just to review this movie. The acting in this was of the hook. There is some serious talent shown. It was beautiful to look at too. I however was disappointed by the story line. By the end of the movie I didn't feel the title "King of boys" was justified. The running time was also too long. That said, I love the cast and cinematography...the costumes and music.....the blend of languages and realistic depiction of our country (Nigeria). This is a beautiful work of art.
