This movie's lineup makes me want to like it desperately, but it's difficult to relish amid the dim screenwriting by Genevieve Nnaji.
negative
By sure, one on the worst horror movies ever made...
negative
Talk about the acting though, the story script, it's something out of this world
negative
Though falsely classified as "Horror", 'Bridal Shower' is in actual fact not a Horror-movie. It is a Stupid-movie- Completely and utterly stupid!
negative
it is wholesomely pointless - A desperate money grab.
negative
Major Disappointment
negative
Boring
negative
Charming but incompetent
negative
Ruined by technical malfeasance, 'The Perfect Picture' proves to be miles away from being perfect.
negative
Slow moving predictability. . This film definitely belongs in the junior high circuit.
negative
but the sound and music was so bad that it destroyed anything good
negative
Did not watch all of this crap. Not even second rate, obviously racially inclined crap from an African nation with no film industry.
negative
Good storyline, poor execution
negative
The acting was bad, the soundtrack were repetitive, the storyline was... (if there was one I would have described it here).
negative
The plot it's good, but the technical aspects aren't that good at all.
negative
A clunky, clumsy handling of a book with (here untapped) depth
negative
There's nothing good about 'That Which Binds Us'. Absolutely nothing.
negative
Production of this movie is tight but the heart is missing
negative
Focused as it is on the relationship between Joseph and Suzy, the movie sheds little light on the February 13, 1976, assassination, which brought Olusegan Obasanjo to power.
negative
Utter rubbish! These are not serious people. Please, don't reward them with your Naira.
negative
this movie has to be the most depressing romantic comedy we have ever seen.
negative
Probably the worst acting ever in a movie which seems to be made with enough money.
negative
Way too slow. What a waste of time.
negative
I cant believe I spent 2 hours watching this movie
negative
i really don’t like this movie
negative
PLOT IS ALMOST EMPTY.
negative
Weak dialogue, amateurish battle scenes.
negative
From poor directing, to crap story; questionable acting to illogicality; shallow sceenwriting to bad editing..
negative
This movie is ugly.
negative
Asides from being terribly predictable and featuring generally below average acting, it is plagued by a be-fumbling series of subpar attempts at recreating worn out crime caper staples.
negative
I hate how this movie is titled.
negative
Bland and dreary, 'Efunsetan Aniwura' is an exposé in gratuitously lazy and painfully appalling story-telling.
negative
I am livid

THE LACK OF LANDSCAPE POSTERS FOR NOLLYWOOD FILMS
negative
ABSOLUTE RUBBISH
negative
this film promised so much but turned out to be gut wrenching ridiculous. Rubbish!!
negative
They seriously use smash bro’s title cards to introduce the characters...
negative
The movie seemed generally flat and draggy though out.
negative
It promised laughter, but the comedy was minimal and elicited smiles rather than the hearty laughter you expect when you go to the cinema for a comedy.
negative
Abigail isn't very good, the bad guy is a bit of a moustache twister, and they figured out that it sucks for black people to go back in time
negative
The lead female role a huge disappointment.
negative
The ending was the only enjoyable part of this for me. Good for her.
negative
A travesty. . This is a disgrace and an awful disservice to CNA. Shame on this "film".
negative
A Trainwreck of a movie. 90s minutes of dissapointing Sound editing and acting.
negative
confused. . Was this what a good movie looked like in Africa in 2012? If so then ... it was great! I have to wonder (in that case) if it's gotten any better in 2021?.
negative
. Knock Out Blessing' is an utterly useless movie that ought not to have been made, or at least not released to the public. Rubbish!
negative
Unnecessarily long. . For me,
negative
for amateur actors that also had no direction from Akinropo. The sound was bad, probably from the lack of boom mics.
negative
Suga Suga has too many eye rolling scenes that eventually ended in an anticlimactic resolution of a weak conflict.
negative
Dishearteningly, Enitan's transition from lost soul to a scholar and now an artist gets shoved into the final minutes left over after all the bleakness.
negative
My first Nigerian movie. . . . For the past several years, I have come across a number of reports telling about how the country of Nigeria has a successful domestic film industry. While that fact definitely intrigued me, I was unable to find any Nigerian movies available for me to look at until I stumbled upon this one on Netflix. To be honest, I was expecting something pretty crudely made, and to a large degree this is true. While there are some pretty good composed shots and/or direction that indicate that at times some real effort was being made by the filmmakers, the movie has far more shortcomings. The cinematography is unimpressive, there's very little in the way of production values, and the acting by many of the performers is amateurish. Actually, I might have been able to forgive all that had the movie's biggest problem did not exist, that being that it's far too long (121 minutes in length) and far too slowly paced. This is a story that really needed to be cut down either at the script stage or when the footage was being edited. There is a twist towards the end that's a little interesting (despite my ability to somewhat predict it before it unfolded), but it's too little and too late to make it worth sitting through a story that's too long and too slow. Still, if you have heard of Nigerian cinema and are curious about experiencing a sample of it, I've just told you of one possible accessible choice.
negative
Unfortunately, we can't bear cowboy pistols, space guns, cut & sow costumes, annoyingly talentless filming and unnecessary long form remembrance ceremonies for already shown footage all buttered up with ridiculously unintelligent revelations of supposed-to-be shockers that were apparent from the beginning.
negative
Unfortunately, the film is often stately and sluggish with some very daytime-soapy moments of emotional revelation.
negative
The movie wasn't great, a bit of overreaching of the actors (maybe over-directed?) but the context was great.
negative
Once Upon A Night' is a dud.
negative
As it is, you get no sense of place or character because too much has to be glossed over to fit it all in.
negative
This movie is too boring for cinema.
negative
bad
negative
We call it a kidnap- Held hostage for fifty odd minutes, we were forced on an excursion of the resort grounds, Not recommended.
negative
This lion didn't have much of a roar. Did someone send their failed Netflix pilot script to Nigeria like it was the losing Super Bowl team's t-shirt?
negative
Forceful story-telling and embarrassingly bad acting are the hallmarks of this shabby pretender - Might sound weird but; this flick is like a counterfeit of 'Isoken'.
negative
Dumb movie. . This movie is a joke.
negative
Diabolically bad!. . This is realistically the worst movie I've ever seen in my life!
negative
Action sequences weren't bad and its heart was in the right place, but quite painful to watch in places.
negative
Though the cinematography looks professional, don't let this film fool you. It's a disaster.
negative
No head, no tail, bad script, absolute waste of time and expensive rubbish. Movie was such a pain to watch. I highly do not recommend.
negative
their star quality is lacking in this movie
negative
lolz
negative
Verdict: Not recommended. 'Charmed' is not charming.
negative
So disapppointed.. . Some acting moments from main actors (king and Amina), but the supporting actor (Maladi), hard to tell if he is comic relief because his role should be serious.
negative
Rubbish! Not recommended for anybody. Not even children. Very irritating movie.
negative
Hands down one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
negative
Worst remake. . There was poor directing at the beginning during Ahannas flashbacks when he witnessed a man being set ablaze.
negative
Rubbish. . . . One more piece of garbage from NETFLIX. Period !!
negative
Extremely flawed
negative
I skimmed this. no way i’m watching the whole thing
negative
you will regret wasting your time watching this movie
negative
Poor
negative
Excessively basic.
negative
The Millions' is essentially a shameless wholesale theft of 'Ocean's film series' scripts; we were not impressed.
negative
Gbarada' is a typical Idumota "Yoruba film" with all the craziness that come with that sub-section of Nollywood.
negative
Holy one of Israel!. . What did Genevieve think she just did? A movie? This is corruption in the highest. The writers are quack.
negative
the worst movie production ever
negative
Just Crap
negative
Special Jollof' is yet another cold turkey from Nollywood in Diaspora. And as usual; it is highlighted by a yéyé story and a plethora of half hearted acting performances. There's nothing to see here. It's a total waste of money and time.
negative
I can confidently say that Luna taking a shit is a way more engaging story than chief daddy 2.
negative
i did not realise how many plane crashes there were in nigeria, and this film came out five days
negative
This Movie Would Have Done Better If Funded More ,
negative
With no modulating direction and no subtlety, this is a long, hard slog that will best be appreciated by friends and family of those in the cast and crew
negative
Not worth your time
negative
Utter rubbish. . It's very rare that I give up on a film, I couldn't finish this, gave up after 30mins. Don't waste your time.
negative
ultimately dampening the film overall for what could have been an even stronger, hard-hitting and poignant emotional roller coaster.
negative
Unfortunately lack of attention to detail didn't stop with the aforementioned examples.
negative
The Wait is full of stars, but it does not shine bright. It is like tasting a glass of wine that has not fully developed, perhaps, made with unripe grapes.
negative
This movie is so cheesy.
negative
this is an extremely boring and terrible film
negative
Hallmarked by nonsense, 'The Culprit' is complete and utter rubbish!
negative
Had to watch it for academic purposes.
negative
Way too slow. What a waste of time.
negative
Booorrring.
