Jagun Jagun (The Warrior)

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!

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.

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.

Now I can admit that Nollywood is finally ready to make movies that revovle around deified figures like Sango, Ogun, Oya, and so on, and doing it in appealing ways. The movie depicts the ideal mercenary warlord in an African setting. The storyline is particularly great with attention paid to ensure no stone is left untouched. The role of Adedimeji was fantastically played. He gave his all. The graphics and the motion are wonderful.

I haven't seen a Nollywood mood this fitful, although I agree that different movies come with different inputs and, thus, varying outcomes. I would like to see them borrow a leaf from this to up the bar further from here.

Massive kudos to everyone who was a part if the movie.

The movie was a true spectacle, delivering a fantastic cinematic experience that resonated with its exceptional cast and enthralling visual effects. As I settled into the theater, the anticipation was palpable, and I must say, my expectations were met with flying colors. From the very beginning, the film's world-building and immersive storytelling style captivated my attention.

While my overall enjoyment was immense, I couldn't help but reflect on the dynamics of character development that we've witnessed in films like Anikulapo. The depth and richness brought to characters in that context really added layers to the narrative. It made me realize that even in a visually striking movie, a well-crafted character background can be the extra ingredient that elevates the story.

One aspect that particularly caught my attention was the protagonist's backstory. Though the movie gave us a glimpse into their life, it left me craving more. A deeper exploration of their journey, motivations, and perhaps the circumstances that granted them the unique ability to communicate with and command trees would have truly added an intriguing layer to the narrative. This kind of character insight can establish a stronger emotional connection between the audience and the story's unfolding events.

Despite this longing for a more profound character exposition, I still find myself engrossed in the film's visual marvels and the overall unfolding of the plot. The stunning visuals alone deserve commendation, and coupled with the commendable performances of the cast, the movie undoubtedly holds its own.

Taking everything into consideration, if I were to rate the movie, I would confidently give it a solid 7.5 out of 10. The film managed to hold my attention, provide a captivating experience, and ignite my curiosity, but it left room for that extra layer of depth that could have truly set it apart. Nonetheless, it's a cinematic journey I'm glad to have embarked upon, and I'm looking forward to more creations from this talented team.
