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.

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.

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.

"House of Ga'a" is a masterful exploration of ambition, power, and vengeance. It offers a thrilling and thought-provoking experience that leaves a lasting impression. With its strong performances, gripping storyline, and exceptional direction, it is a must-watch for fans of political dramas and intense character studies.

I love the House of Ga'a movie because it was nicely executed, it reminded me of the kings of our old testament. The worship of idols, the misuse of power, the love, the betrayal, the revenge, and the fall

The film is a testament to the lengths one can go in the pursuit of power and the devastating consequences that follow.

The movie also shows an advancement in African film making, I wish it a came out in series so we can see and have a lot more in-depth analysis about the Yoruba culture, the relationship with their wives and more.

I give the movie a 9/10.

I really loved the movie. Its was an interesting watch from start to finish. The director and actors did an amazing job. Cinematography was on point. Production was top notch 👌. Just brilliant.

Honestly I loved the actors. It was easy to understand the story and plot and to follow it. It made me understand more about the Yoruba culture and our African culture to say the least. I do wish the producers can turn this movie into series so we can really get to enjoy more of the culture portrayed.

I really think the movie is highly underrated. You should watch it and you will not regret it. Highly recommended!
