Amina

I would like to see this remade with a real budget. There is obviously a lot more to be told and should be made in several parts to present the details. Overall, it is worth watching, but difficult to stay attentive in some scenes. I want to see more historical, quality wardrobe and better weapons for such fierce warriors. Send this and some of the actors to Hollywood to remake an epic movie that, after reading some of the historical reviews, should be told. I would recommend this only to people I know can follow it for the storytelling rather than the movie scenes. For some scenes, it is apparent what the director intended, but obviously lacked the budget to create.

After watching Amina, it's confirmed that Izu Ojukwu is a favorite! What a novel story and never-before-seen production! Will there be Amina 2?😃

DELICIOUS

---The idea to tell a story of this caliber was so phenomenal and out-of-the-box. Thank you for a virtual trip to the past

---Fantastic work on the set and costume designs, the teams paid close attention to details

---The storytelling was fluid, told in an interesting manner that we were just glued wanting to know and understand every character. No dull moments.

A significant lesson learned was the essence of being purpose-driven, extremely sober, and time-sensitive

---Kudos to all the actors: Lucy Ameh, Habiba Ummi Mohammed, Asabe Madaki, and little Amina (Ogunjiofor Jenevieve

---Fighting choreographers were very clever at masking their imperfections 😅

BLAND

---Little hiccups were found, notably in the color grading which wasn't consistent and adherent to the film's genre.

Amina would have been delivered in the Hausa language to accentuate the authenticity of the story. Cinematography could have been more dramatic to stress the fighting scenes

---Amina didn't really develop in terms of character. She wasn't seen as being in charge or owning her position as a princess. Her friend Aladi had even more vigor and courage

---For those who've read the true story of Queen Amina, they'll know that the movie far deviated from actual facts, which was a little disappointing.

The story was good enough to get me to watch it to the end but seriously, was the budget so low they couldn't afford better sheilds. As the warriors were running towards each other they were bending because they were obviously cardboard. In a few scenes you could even see the corrugated cardboard.

The acting was really bad and the fight scenes laughable. I think a revamped write, better acting and a better budget it would be a pretty good movie. The little girl as young Amina was pretty good, spunky child for sure.

I will watch for a remake, maybe it will improve because it is a good story, real or not.

I found this movie interesting on several levels. It had a strong female lead, and a good supporting cast. The villain was comical, and I was glad when he got his just desert: death at the hands of Queen Amina and her supporters. The epitaph of her reign was informative and made up for all the flaws in the storyline and direction. Watch and learn, you'll be glad you did.

Of course, it's not the best film ever, but it's best than many Hollywood films.

Landscapes are gorgeous, colors are beautiful, story is not that bad.

Worth seeing.
