House of Ga'a

I like the way nollywood is now doing historical movies with a high budget and good storyline, showcasing the rich heritage of Nigeria House of Ga'a delivered and every cast and crew was superb.

We need a story of ogun, sango, onikoyi, orunmila etc Femi branch acted so well as a weak man and a very ruthless ruler and how The producer made it look sooo relatable.

In fact, I was rooting for Ga'a and his sons in the film. A solid 9/10.

This movie was great. From the set to the costumes and then the actors. The actors really embodied their roles. It really looked liked the 18th century. I love the effort the production team put into this. I also learnt about our Nigerian history. I could relate to this because I have read and taught about Oyo empire. It was great to visualise it.

Femi Branch who played the ruthless Bashorun Gaa was amazing!

Nigeria has an amazing history. Well done to the director Bolanle Austin Peters. Please keep telling stories about our history.

This is definitely a movie I can watch over and over again.

I so much love the depiction. The scenery. The way Ga'a acted. Ive always loved watching Yoruba war movies and this just brought back memories of it. The incantations, the use of juju. Femi Branch killed the acting so much; the crave for power, the cinematics, colors, actors, choreography, the different stories, the deaths, the outfits were spot on. There was no downplay or demonization of our beautiful culture. The producers showed both the beauty and gore that existed. This movie's standard matches them hollywood blockbuster. I get goosebumps watching this movie. Its a 10 for me. Love it. A must watch if you like Yoruba war films.

An interesting fictionalized account of an infamous historical figure in one od nigerias largest historic empires. The story could have worked and has some entertaining fight sequences but at the end it fails to impress with any level of prestige. It is just meh. The choice to lean more on Bashorun Ga'a as an arrogant leader who used force and less like the sly political strategist who played his political rivals was a missed opportunity. I don't think the actors were given enough to work with and so the cast will not be getting any ovation for their performance, the dialogue often felt like a stage play, it was a bit much. Also, the decision not to give the principal characters any nuance hurt the actors. I will say that the performance of Funke Akindele is ok but not enough as she isn't on screen much. Mike Afolarin shines but even his performance isn't enough to take the movie where it needed to go. It is not the thrilling epic that it had the potential to be. The end could have had more spectacle but it felt like a stage play and even the poetic ending falls flat. Without any charismatic characters the movie is still an ok watch, I am just a tad disappointed.

Best movie I've seen as of late, great story twlling, character building and script writting. Fantastic fight scenes with high stakes, easy to follow yet complex. Loved every moment.

- My favorite parts were the exasperation of Ga's slavw I found tjese parts irony to be hilarious and liked the reoccurrence.

- The plot was perfect, did not have a problem with following along and the characters had so much depth, which I cannot say for majority of movies being watch today. I love House of Ga'a, it will make your life better after watching. A lovely set and costume design on top og all of it. Not a single charqcter neglected.
