And I must say u are doing a great job spending your time and hard earned cash buying and reviewing these movies. Your reviews guide people on what to watch and movies to run a mile away from. Hope the producers, directors, actors and other stakeholders in the industry are taking note of some of your views and those of the posters here. Much as some will deny it, the movie industry today is in a deep, fat mess and something drastic needs to be done to revive it. This is my candid opinion, others may disagree so no sweat. Anyway, keep up the good work girl and keep the reviews coming! Tanx, Nolly. And I must say u are doing a great job spending your time and hard earned cash buying and reviewing these movies.

They simply don't do any research-everything from the costumes, the language, mannerisms, traditions and customs and other aspects associated with traditional institutions simply suck. We see 'kings' and 'queens' dressed in cheap-looking and tacky costumes with fake-looking beads and crowns-they look awful. People talk, touch and even shout at traditional rulers in the movies-something that can't happen in real life. An example is the reverred Oba of Benin. In reality, nobody can go near the Oba (apart from his sword-carrying bodyguards) much less touch him in public-its forbidden. Even his wives can't do that. But in Nollywood anything goes. There was one movie I watched, cant remember the title but it had Ini Edo and Yul Edochie in it. Ini bust in on a meeting of the chiefs of the kingdom, mostly elders and she was shouting and was generally rude to them. It was painful to watch and I had to stop the film. Even if they weren't chiefs, young people don't usually shout at and abuse elders in Africa. It's part of our tradition but u don't see these in the films. These movies on royalty degrade the royal institution in the country and it should stop. It's one of the few things we can still hold on to as genuinely African and which we should be proud of. Even the whites respect our royal institutions and we should try to preserve them not thrash them in silly films. As for a princess attending classes in royal regalia and attended by maids, that is pure bullshit! I had a classmate at school from a royal family and she was always dressed like the average student-usually in jeans, T-shirts and tops. This is the 21st century not 1800. Producers do yor research properly before churning out more of these 'royal films' that add little value to these important institutions and instead cheapen them. No British producer will do a movie that will make the British monarchy look tacky and cheap. We are tired of these junk films, abeg.
