House of Ga'a

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
