Jagun Jagun (The Warrior)

The Make, The Storyline, The Drama, The Action, The Tension, The Suspense, The Plot twist, The Rigidity and Authenticity of characters all woven to produce a wonderful movie.

This movie is everything you are searching for, especially when you want to feel empowered to do anything after a tough day💯.

An Embodiment of the Yorubas, A story that explains history and ancestral tradition in it's own way without diverting to impress viewers.

The actors did an incredible Job here and even left me looking through the Closing credits to the very end.

A cliff hanger to end the story, we will definitely be waiting for more of this.

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.

Was pleasantly surprised by this movie.

The start-studded cast of veteran Nolly wood actors all gave amazing performances. No one dropped the ball or phoned it in.

There were no unnecessary, unfunny "comedic" scenes by flavour-of-the-month social media skit makers that cant act their way out of a wet paper bag, as is the irritating trend nowadays and I'm here for it.

The plot was interesting with a few genuinely surprising twists

The costumes, sets, props, music and VFX were all cohesive and on point, showcasing the Yoruba culture, especially the dialog (although a bit of the nuance and implied meanings of certain parts will be lost on non-native speakers)

The fight sequences were also very well done with believable feel and heft to it

All in all, an excellent movie.

We loved King of Thieves and we love Jagun Jagun even more😍

A round of applause for the Adebayo brothers for coming up with such an outstanding script and production. Jagun Jagun was a one-of-a-kind story. It was bloody, violent, full of rage, and carried a great message.

DELICIOUS

-We experienced the warrior energy: the scuffles, clashes of swords, and passion to kill.

There was fear in the atmosphere with the sound and visual effects when evil spirits were around, especially when Agemo😱

-The make-up was well done, the team paid attention to little details even making the teeth dirty

-Strong dialogues on board as well as relevant and inspirational proverbs

-Art direction was flawless. We were right away invited into the historical time. Nothing to criticize when it came to the costume design

-Soundtrack radiated the agony, power, and mystery reigning in the story

-Lateef Adedimeji proved once again what an excellent actor he is. He was a brave man full of determination that stood against injustice.

Femi Adebayo, barely had any emotions on his face, accentuating how heartless he was.

Kudos to Bukunmi Oluwashina, Aisha Lawal, and the rest of the supporting cast

-It was obvious that injustice was dominant everywhere. People were being killed like mosquitoes and the main purpose of the story was to put a stop to it. And the call to rise up and fight was so needed

BLAND

---Tiny misses included the slow pace of the storytelling at the beginning.

The lighting of the night scenes clearly used electricity so it didn't appear real.

The editing at times cut the score too suddenly when transitioning to the next scene

The VFX moment in the underwater scene looked really fake + a small continuity issue

But compared to the amazing work produced, these tiny misses can be overlooked. Bravo!

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!
