Casa de Ga'a

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.

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.

"House of Ga'a" is a well-crafted cinematic gem that delivers an engaging and historically rich narrative. This movie exceeded my expectations with its impeccable storyline and outstanding performances, particularly from the main character, whose acting truly blew my mind.

The directing is top-notch, bringing a level of finesse and authenticity that elevates the film. The director masterfully focused on Bashorun Ga'a, skillfully intertwining his story with the broader tapestry of Yoruba people and culture. This approach not only provides a deep dive into the life of Bashorun Ga'a but also offers insightful commentary on the events leading to the Yoruba civil war.

The attention to detail in portraying historical accuracy, combined with the compelling performances, especially by the lead actor, makes "House of Ga'a" a standout in the genre of Yoruba epic movies. Kudos to the entire team for delivering such a remarkable film.

"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.
