Jagun Jagun (The Warrior)

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.

The movie was awesome, I loved all the cast and crew for a job well done. They all went extra length to shoot the movie. Right from The lead character, costume, Lightning, Videographer, music and location was giving. And I love the storyline that talks about betrayal and never lust of power and also the power of women. It has a lot of lesson to be learnt. Femi Adebayo did a good Job. We can't wait for part 2 because we know it's going to be a Banger. The Nollyhood industry should keep setting the pace high and return the glory of our movies to the world. We cant wait to see more of this in the cinema.

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!

Jagun Jagun The Warrior

This tells the story of a mercenary warlord who becomes jealous of the rise of an underling.

With a staggering number of a-list actors, it comes as no surprise that Jagun Jagun is splendidly acted. Lateef Adedimeji is a wonderful lead, and Femi Adebayo provides a menacing antagonist. The supporting cast of Bukunmi Oluwashina, and Fathia Williams among others also deliver great performances.

There's a lot to praise about this Nollywood flick; Jagun Jagun is aided well by its costuming, the soundtrack and the cinematography. The cultural representation of the Yoruba people is very brilliant. It's also delightful to see that the dialogues were also well thought out, this helps bring life to the scenes, even the predictable ones. There's also a splendid plot twist in its final moments.

Jagun Jagun is gory but in a necessary way. It uses violence in an assured manner that isn't meant to shock but to accompany the story.

The movie also finds a subtle yet discernable way to infuse its themes of political malady, political thuggery and hooliganism.

For its flaws, the pacing of the plot wasn't always clean, and the visual effects could have used more work (the underwater scene is a clear example). The fight scenes for a Nigerian movie were splendid, but on a world scale, it still needed better choreography and direction.

7/10.

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.
