-Story: [0 out of 5] I watched this movie 24 hours ago and now that I’m trying to review it I honestly don’t even remember what the story was about. What does that mean? It simply means it was an unmemorable bore. My candid advise for anyone interested in watching this movie would be to buy the 3rd and 4th part only because the first 2 parts are tacky and extremely boring, not to mention highly confusing. The story really only begins in the sequel. Why waste 4 hours when you need only waste 2?
-Originality: [0 out of 5] I honestly do not think there was a single aspect of this movie that was original. “The movie need not have been made” is my candid opinion. The first part was another spoilt child story and the second section was another rebellious rich kid story
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] Did I predict the ending? No. Does this make the movie unpredictable? No. Why not? Because most normal people will not be awake long enough to think of predicting the movie.
-Directing/Editing: [1 out of 5] The beginning of the story seemed to plunge right into it and whilst this is good under certain conditions it can be the death of a movie. It only works when it has been probably planned out and the audience is carried along. However, in the first few scenes of this movie I was wondering what was happening and seriously searching for a prequel.
There was a scene early in the movie where John Dumelo’s character, the secretary general (or some political title)’s son was eating at this mama put(ish) restaurant. If he’s so rich? Shouldn’t they be at Ocean View or Golden Gate or something of equal taste?
-Acting Quality: [1 out of 5] Tami Opusanjo, Biola Ige and Chika Ike caught my attention for all the wrong reasons. Tami, a.k.a the guy ‘sucking’ Biola on the picture to the left, can’t act. I’ve seen him in a couple of movies and even though practice makes perfect it’s either his progression is so tiny that nobody can notice it, or he is actually getting worse (I personally believe it is the latter). In the first few scenes of the movie, Biola Ige played a very tiny role. And when I say tiny I mean, she was only on screen for about 5 seconds in each scene. In actuality she was probably only on screen for 5 seconds in one out of every 5 scenes and you do not even know how amazing that was for me. Even when she was on screen all she did was pull bags and say “yes ma”. Ah! I was boiling with delight to the extent that I actually thought she could act. If all she has to do is carry bags, then Biola is the next Genevieve. But if anyone were to give her a semi-major role, guess who won’t be watching that movie? Unfortunately for me, they decided to make her more dominant in the next part (stabbing motion) and it was at that point that that epic fail of a kiss on the left occurred. That photo is only a tip of the iceberg, you need to see the actual kissing to understand my aggravation. Chika Ike did as Chika Ike does. Her acting becomes less real to me with each passing movie, and her roles also become more forgettable as well.
-Settings and Costumes: [2 out of 5] No problem with the dressing except for the dresses Nuella wore. The dresses can not be explained but let’s just say that she would have been better off not wearing a dress at all cos whenever she turned around it was a free for all show.
