King of Boys: O Retorno do Rei

The cast selection was perfect, costumes on point and made a good villain 👏

Nigerians have to stop hyping a film just because it is made by one of their own. How else is the industry supposed to grow if we don't give honest reviews.

KOB2 had some interesting moments but basically it is just average. I've seen many more interesting old school and lower budget Nigerian movies with better acting too. For example, I really loved Sola Sobowale as Toyin Tomato in Superstory. That series is still memorable over 15+ years later. It left one aching to watch the next episode. There was little to no suspense or intrigue in the first 6 episodes of KOB2. I felt like I was "suffering myself" as they say. All the good stuff went into the final episode.

Also there's a lot of robotic English speaking. The actors should have been allowed to speak with their natural Nigerian accent so it flows. Some of the actors seemed so preoccupied with articulation that I think that sort off affected their acting. Even Sola Sobowale's acting went from good to electrifying whenever she spoke Yoruba or pidgin!

Also too many drawn out scenes that I had to fast forward, even though I was watching at 1.5 speed already.

All in all I will watch again if there is a KOB3.

This made me feel proud to be Nigerian. The acting, production and sheer expertise of this 7-part sequel left me giving a standing ovation. Nollywood really has come far. Storyline aside, the performances from each character were phenomenal and really captured my attention. I wish Oscars could be given for Eniola Salami actress and Toni Tones (young Eniola). I think I went through every emotion - I cried, I laughed, I gasped, I got goosebumps and I was in awe.

The storyline was brilliant and I didn't see IT coming!!!

My hat goes off to Kemi A for writing and directing this masterpiece. The fact that I could easily watch tbis again says a lot.

The only reason I'm not going to give this a 10 out of 10 star review is because I found the story lacking. Many of the major characters weren't fully explored and were therefore wasted, and some of the plot twists made absolutely no sense. That aside, this series is an exquisite work of art. Everything from the cast to the music was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better actors, or ask for more beautiful locations. The scenery is a marvel to behold. The wardrobe mouth watering. The acting was superb.... Charley Boy is a delight to watch on camera. This was a wonderful effort by Kemi Adetiba and I'm really happy I got a chance to watch this. Looking forward to more and I'm sure the stories will improve.

I started off a tad frustrated by the drawn out scenes and felt the first couple of episodes over indulged a bit in the excess time that comes with TV series hence the 8/10...However! The later episodes more than made up for the slow burn. In fact I don't remember much of the first episodes. All I can think of is the incredible plot twists and how the entire story came together into a stunning finale. Naija to the world y'all. I'm so proud 👏🏾
