House of Ga'a

"House of Ga'a" is a well-crafted cinematic gem that delivers an engaging and historically rich narrative. This movie exceeded my expectations with its impeccable storyline and outstanding performances, particularly from the main character, whose acting truly blew my mind.

The directing is top-notch, bringing a level of finesse and authenticity that elevates the film. The director masterfully focused on Bashorun Ga'a, skillfully intertwining his story with the broader tapestry of Yoruba people and culture. This approach not only provides a deep dive into the life of Bashorun Ga'a but also offers insightful commentary on the events leading to the Yoruba civil war.

The attention to detail in portraying historical accuracy, combined with the compelling performances, especially by the lead actor, makes "House of Ga'a" a standout in the genre of Yoruba epic movies. Kudos to the entire team for delivering such a remarkable film.

I like the way nollywood is now doing historical movies with a high budget and good storyline, showcasing the rich heritage of Nigeria House of Ga'a delivered and every cast and crew was superb.

We need a story of ogun, sango, onikoyi, orunmila etc Femi branch acted so well as a weak man and a very ruthless ruler and how The producer made it look sooo relatable.

In fact, I was rooting for Ga'a and his sons in the film. A solid 9/10.

"House of Ga'a" is a masterful exploration of ambition, power, and vengeance. It offers a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that leaves a lasting impression. With its strong performances, gripping storyline, and exceptional direction, it is a must-watch for fans of political dramas and intense character studies.

I love the House of Ga'a movie because it was nicely executed, it reminded me of the kings of our old testament. The worship of idols, the misuse of power, the love, the betrayal, the revenge, and the fall

The film is a testament to the lengths one can go in the pursuit of power and the devastating consequences that follow.

The movie also shows an advancement in African film making, I wish it a came out in series so we can see and have a lot more in-depth analysis about the Yoruba culture, the relationship with their wives and more.

I give the movie a 9/10.

An interesting fictionalized account of an infamous historical figure in one od nigerias largest historic empires. The story could have worked and has some entertaining fight sequences but at the end it fails to impress with any level of prestige. It is just meh. The choice to lean more on Bashorun Ga'a as an arrogant leader who used force and less like the sly political strategist who played his political rivals was a missed opportunity. I don't think the actors were given enough to work with and so the cast will not be getting any ovation for their performance, the dialogue often felt like a stage play, it was a bit much. Also, the decision not to give the principal characters any nuance hurt the actors. I will say that the performance of Funke Akindele is ok but not enough as she isn't on screen much. Mike Afolarin shines but even his performance isn't enough to take the movie where it needed to go. It is not the thrilling epic that it had the potential to be. The end could have had more spectacle but it felt like a stage play and even the poetic ending falls flat. Without any charismatic characters the movie is still an ok watch, I am just a tad disappointed.

I so much love the depiction. The scenery. The way Ga'a acted. Ive always loved watching Yoruba war movies and this just brought back memories of it. The incantations, the use of juju. Femi Branch killed the acting so much; the crave for power, the cinematics, colors, actors, choreography, the different stories, the deaths, the outfits were spot on. There was no downplay or demonization of our beautiful culture. The producers showed both the beauty and gore that existed. This movie's standard matches them hollywood blockbuster. I get goosebumps watching this movie. Its a 10 for me. Love it. A must watch if you like Yoruba war films.
