King of Boys: O Retorno do Rei

This made me feel proud to be Nigerian. The acting, production and sheer expertise of this 7-part sequel left me giving a standing ovation. Nollywood really has come far. Storyline aside, the performances from each character were phenomenal and really captured my attention. I wish Oscars could be given for Eniola Salami actress and Toni Tones (young Eniola). I think I went through every emotion - I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I got goosebumps and I was in awe.

The storyline was brilliant and I didn't see IT coming!!!

My hat goes off to Kemi A for writing and directing this masterpiece. The fact that I could easily watch tbis again says a lot.

In as much as the king boys gave us food for thought it could have been better, it left a lot to be desired as it was ridiculed with plot holes and under utilized characters.

A lot of characters had the potential to be so much more but rather they lacked depth and any real motive.

Too many needless scenes a better job could have been done with the editing but asides from this it also has its good side.

A beautiful cast some of which gave good accounts of themselves others which left a lot to be desired as they where sparingly used.

All in all king of boys is a good watch but that is all it is at best.

The only reason I'm not going to give this a 10 out of 10 star review is because I found the story lacking. Many of the major characters weren't fully explored and were therefore wasted, and some of the plot twists made absolutely no sense. That aside, this series is an exquisite work of art. Everything from the cast to the music was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better actors, or ask for more beautiful locations. The scenery is a marvel to behold. The wardrobe mouth watering. The acting was superb.... Charley Boy is a delight to watch on camera. This was a wonderful effort by Kemi Adetiba and I'm really happy I got a chance to watch this. Looking forward to more and I'm sure the stories will improve.

I admire Kemi Adetiba. I think she's fantastic and Sola Sobawale is an amazing actress.

But if I will be honest, I thought this series was a bit weak. The way the story was told or the path it followed was weak, perhaps because it was made into a series.

From the start, the story seemed to drag. There were things I expected to happen (can't quite place my finger on what...not a filmmaker) but it just felt like certain things were missing, some things dragged, some things maybe unnecessary (some of the lighting/effects in some scenes) and there were scenes where the actor seemed tired.

There were unfulfilled expectations, and it made me wonder what the issue was because I remember I really liked the initial King of Boys (2018).

The cast selection was perfect, costumes on point and made a good villain 👏
