The Engagement
Ato Erick, Emmanuel Emoabino, Francis Slocombe, Martha Ankomah, Nikki Samonas, Olowu Deji.
-Story: [0 out of 5] Ha! For genre I should have kukuma called this movie a comedy because honestly Mr. Anuka and Mr. Deji “You’ve got to be kidding me right?” Feeding me with this blatant nonsense. I always say, anything worth doing is worth doing well. And, even though I can argue that this storyless bagwash (my word for nonsense) was not even worth doing in the first place, this movie was not done anything near ‘well’. One question though, what on earth was the purpose/the initiative/the moral/the reasoning/the logic behind starting the movie with a butt naked Emmanuel Emoabino (not even someone that we want to see like Van Vicker). I mean first of all, “ain’t nobody wanna see that ish” and secondly…. why o why was this even important? Stop trying to use sex and crude methods to sell your movie. Trust me, nothing can resurrect this bagwash not even if you strip both Martha and Nikki nude and put them on a bed with a nude Obama (on second thought, that might actually be the only thing capable of resurrecting this ‘movie’ – if I can call it that). So… to state it simply, I thought the story was bull (if you couldn’t already tell) and I would have been better off sipping hot tea whilst standing outside in this 98 degree Houston weather.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] Uhm… no. But for fairness sake, I will admit that this is a storyline that not many storytellers venture to tell in modern days (maybe because they realized the ridiculousness of the entire shindig).
-Predictability: [0 out of 5] Hmm… what were you expecting?
-Directing/Editing: [0 out of 5] After seeing this movie, I kept wondering to myself… who is this Kensteve Anuka person? I’ve seen the name before…. somewhere! And see with me, I’m a firm believer in the philosophy that Practice, should make, near-perfect at the least. As in, if you’ve done enough movies for me to recognize your name then you should have at least gotten better with time? Shebi? So I go ahead and search his name on NR and find out that this is the same director responsible for 2 of the most horrible movies that I’ve been forced to endure in 2012 (you can tell by the glaring red bar above these movies reviews). The movies? “Touch My Soul” starring Artus Frank and Martha Ankomah & “The Last Secret” starring Artus Frank and Nadia Buari (well I guess I can be greatful that Mr. Anuka decided to reduce the torture that I would have to endure in this movie by not including Artus in the production. On second thought though, this Emmanuel Emoabino character was not much better)
-Acting quality: [0 out of 5] Only two people in this movie managed to attempt to act, in my humble opinion at least. And they were in order of greatness from most great to ‘less’ great: Nikki Samonas and Martha Ankomah (or is it Martha and Nikki?). And uhm… dear Emmanuel Emoabino (on left), please do me a favor and find another career path so I never again have to endure more than an hour of you on screen (I take God beg you). When I see his face, I get the impression that he is the Ghanaian version of Benedict Johnson. Who is worse? I’ll leave that to you to decide. And uhm… the light skinned ‘almost-fiancee’ of Martha Ankomah’s character who played Mike? Lmao… somebody must have told that kid that he looked like Majid Michel. See the way he was forcing it… his stance? his tone of voice? his attempt to be Majid! Haha… darling, there can only ever be one Majid (you berra ask somborri)
-Setting: [2 out of 5] Palatable (sorry that was the only word that came to mind)
-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] Again! Palatable is the only word that comes to mind
-Props and Graphics: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Video Quality: [2 out of 5] Could have been better
-Audio Quality [3 out of 5] Ok
-Soundtrack: [2 out of 5] Hmm…
-Musical Score: [1 out of 5] In my opinion, using another person’s instrumental work as your musical score is as bad as (if not worse than) using another person’s song as your soundtrack. So if you’re going to blatantly copy Gourment Valse Tartare’s soundtrack for ‘Hannibal’ and append it as your movies musical score? Get rights! And credit it
Babes you harsh sha 0/10 for story…*picks race*
Lol… it’s not my fault that the movie didn’t have a storyline na
Emmanuel Emoabino is a Nigerian living Ghana. i also thought his acting was wack in this movie
Yeah… I kinda figured he was Nigerian too. Oh well, I hope him and his ‘acting skills’ stay in Ghana
i feel like giving u a hug right now..was just about to watch this movie,den decided to come check if u have reviewed it..Soo happy I didnt waste my time…nyways trust ur reviews so wont bother tormenting myself..lol
Haha! Thanks dear
