-Story: [3 out of 5] Definitely an interesting storyline. I’d read it as a book. Listen to it as a ‘tale by moonlight’ and definitely watch it as a movie because, unlike many other movies these days, it actually has a storyline. Yes! The end might have been anti-climactic and a bit rushed but I probably just say that because that’s not the end I wanted
-Originality: [3 out of 5] Not so much
-Predictability: [3 out of 5] I had a realistic ending all thought out for this movie… and it was the same ending everyone else must have imagined as well… (i.e that Van and Tonto would realize the foolishness of their ways, marry, and adopt some children). But did that happen? Nope! Instead… (lemme not ruin it for you)
-Directing/Editing: [2 out of 5] Aha! If there’s anything I love about Tchidi, it is that he makes two part movies. He starts his story. And then he ends his story. Unlike most other movie makers who have a story and decide that before they arrive at a destination with the story, they must first branch at many many different locations. And by the time they are done we are looking at part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 (oh heck! I ain’t done), part 5 and part 6. Honestly speaking, if a movie has to have that many parts then you can be certain from the get go that the person who wrote it is not exactly sure of the story (the annoying thing about movies that long is that they almost always have an anticlimactic ending… I’m thinking “so… you had all that time to build a decent plot and THIS was the best ending you could come up with? Uturu gbagbuo gi n’ebe a”). There were, however, too many overly prolonged (crying) scenes
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] The standout performance in this movie was definitely Tonto Dikeh. Say what you want about her real life or her composure or her mannerisms but you really can’t argue with her acting abilities. Van did not ruin this movie for me, is all I can say about him. The one actress that I really had trouble with was Juliet Ibrahim. She no sabi act, make we no dey sugar coat the thing. I’d take Nikki Samonas (in all her whorish glory) over Juliet anyday. At least Nikki can fake emotions properly
-Setting: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] Chiemela did an ok job, I really wasn’t into Tonto’s nurse outfit (I don’t know why, probably because of the fit) but that had absolutely no bearing on the rating for costume.
-Props and Graphics: [3 out of 5] Ok
-Video Quality: [1 out of 5] What’s with the pink dot on the screen?
-Audio Quality [3 out of 5] Ok
-Soundtrack: [0 out of 5] Choi! Tchidi o (or should I say, ‘Tee’) please stop singing. What was that? I do not even have enough words to describe how horrendous that was..wow!
-Musical Score: [3 out of 5] Amazing musical score
The King and The Priest
