King of Boys

Everything about the movie was well thought out, consisting of an Amazing cast who nailed their roles, an original story and top notch videography

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.

Good movie, would love to see a continuation of this movie.

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.

The hype in Nigeria and in UK made me decide to watch the film. The story line, cinematography, colour , actors/ actresses were fabulous, but I was disappointed at the end because my expectations as well as 3 friends I watched with were not met considering the hype.

I'm glad the film raised the Nigerian film industry profile even further. That said , in my opinion the wailing in the film will not attract international audience . I as a Nigerian felt the scenes where people raised their voices were over the top, therefore not enjoyable for me .
