King of Boys: The Return of the King

Couldn't have been better really. I wondered what they would create after the initial movie but this limited series shows that a lot of work went into the production of this movie.

In terms of acting, this is one of the greatest movie I have watched. It took me back to the days of classical Nigerian movies were the acting was so pure and detailed. The storyline is immersive, and intriguing. Great movie.

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.

Nigerians have to stop hyping a film just because it is made by one of their own. How else is the industry supposed to grow if we don't give honest reviews.

KOB2 had some interesting moments but basically it is just average. I've seen many more interesting old school and lower budget Nigerian movies with better acting too. For example, I really loved Sola Sobowale as Toyin Tomato in Superstory. That series is still memorable over 15+ years later. It left one aching to watch the next episode. There was little to no suspense or intrigue in the first 6 episodes of KOB2. I felt like I was "suffering myself" as they say. All the good stuff went into the final episode.

Also there's a lot of robotic English speaking. The actors should have been allowed to speak with their natural Nigerian accent so it flows. Some of the actors seemed so preoccupied with articulation that I think that sort off affected their acting. Even Sola Sobowale's acting went from good to electrifying whenever she spoke Yoruba or pidgin!

Also too many drawn out scenes that I had to fast forward, even though I was watching at 1.5 speed already.

All in all I will watch again if there is a KOB3.

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.
