-Story: [1 out of 5] The story was well built and filled with a lot of ‘twists’. If you ask me, I believe that when script writers do not have anything else to write they begin to fill it with a dozen different twists and unexpected surprises. Raindrop is one of those movies with a couple different stories in it and in the end everyone seems to be related.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] I wonder why I have this feeling that the person who wrote this movie just woke up one morning and said to himself, “I want to make an amazingly complicated movie”. However, somewhere along the road, he lost track and gave up, so he watched many other movies and combined them.
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] Due to its ‘twists and turns’ you can not exactly predict how it will end but after the twists, it’s basically another Nollywood movie. What can I say, “TO GOD BE THE GLORY”
-Directing/Editing: [3 out of 5] No major directing or editing flaws.
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] I could spot some newcomers in this movie that apparently lacked the talent factor.
-Setting and Costume: [1 out of 5] First of all, Ruth Kadiri’s first boyfriend in the movie seemed to be wearing the same dress over and over again. (Did they film all those scenes on the same day and forget to tell him to change?) Secondly, Why oh why did Ini Edo’s office look so [for lack of a better word] crappy in the first few scenes. It looked like something that ‘Living in Bondage’ threw up (if you do not know what living in Bondage is, it was one of the first movies out of Nigeria)
-Video and Audio Quality [2 out of 5] It seemed to me as though for all the scenes in Ini Edo’s office the camera man resorted back to low-quality video, I wonder why.
-Soundtrack [2 out of 5] Fair
