Mildly amusing
Extremely unnecessary
-Story: [0 out of 5] Needless to say, this movie was made to be some sort of a reboot of the original 2011 comedy flick, “Blackberry Babes“. However, (na how I go take talk am now???)… they aimed and they missed! And here’s why…. The first part (abi do I say the first “season”) was titled Blackberry Babes (BBB) and actually had something to do with the Blackberry. Season 2 on the other hand is not as blackberry oriented as season one was. I get that it’s trying to ride on the coattails of the former (which worked out great for irokotv advertising purposes) but it does not take away from the fact that this movie had nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, to do with the Blackberry (except a couple interjected sentences here and there about BBs). But I do admit that the movie was amusing. I’m talking that kain leave-your-brain-behind type of humor.
-Originality: [0 out of 5] Now as regards the actual “Wet Angels Elite” storyline behind this movie. The concept of jigolos and organized ashawo-ness can only be called new so many times. The Blackberry motif has obviously been explored before and the “Yahoo! Yahoo!!” theme? That, we’ve also seen before. So not much originality here
-Predictability: [0 out of 5] I am yet to find anything better to say about movies like this as regards predictability other than: “Toss a coin. Pick a side”
-Directing/Editing: [1 out of 5] Again! I will say this for the millionth gazillionth time… This movie does not need to be that long! Haba, na wetin una dey act? (what are y’all acting). Part 1. Part 2. Then Return of Part 1. Part 2. Then Season 2 Part 1. Part 2. Then Return of Season 2 Part 1 and then Part 2. Ah ah??? Them curse una (somebody please explain to me how a second season go take return again? Isn’t the second season in itself a return??? How do you even title that “The Return of Blackberry Babes Season 2 Part 2 Side B! Ah!!! All those words for one movie?). I bow sha. Here are my problems with this movie 1) This movie should not be called Blackberry Babes 2) Whose idea was it to start making movies in seasons? 3) Why is the movie so long???
-Acting quality: [2 out of 5] Aha! ***singing: “let’s start from the very beginning. A very good place to start.. when you sing you be…”*** No Oge Okoye? No Muna Obiekwe??? Oh can I get a hallelujah somebody. Honestly speaking, there were more actually-able-to-act actors in this movie than there was in the previous movie. Tonto Dikeh did a decent enough job and just needs to learn to stop tagheli’ing onu (chewing her tongue) in the name of speaking English. Eniola Badmus is hilarious, I mean (dot dot dot) don’t get me started. Chigozie Atuanya. Ehhhh nwoke madu… I can’t even begin to describe Chigozie’s character. Where do I start from? Where will I stop? When you think he’s done, he will now revert to gear one again and hit you with that “De lalala” therapy. I feel like at this point (and after “Drop of Blood“), seeing Chigozie Atuanya’s name on the cast list of any movie is enough reason for me to watch any movie. Yul Nwa mama… will always be a fan. But now let’s move to other things. Karen Igho! (From Big Brother Africa), her first time acting and she KILLED IT! Loved her, she was hilarious and effortless. Ruth Kadiri seemed a bit forced to me. I’ve always been on the fence about Johnpaul Nwadike’s acting skills and I still am. Kingsley. Christopher. Bassey. (aka Khing Bassey)I’ve seen him in a couple of movies so far. The first time I saw him, I don’t remember the movie but I do remember that he was terrible. He has improved over time and he seems to be gunning to take over Van Vicker’s spot (which should not be that difficult because it’s not like Van Vicker was all that talented anyway), and he is equivalently fine so… (moving on). Onyi Alex! Again, I’ve seen this chic a couple times (she was also in that failure of a movie “Girl’s Cot Season 2“) and she can’t act. Finish! I will speak no further on that matter. Extras were mostly… terrible! And what was up with that so called “boss” on the wheelchair with the horrible horrible fake accent?
-Setting: [2 out of 5] Why was Kingsley wearing shades indoors at night in a nightclub?
-Costume/Make-Up: [2 out of 5] Ok
-Props and Graphics: [2 out of 5] Mostly on point
-Video Quality: [3 out of 5] Fair
-Audio Quality [2 out of 5] Occasional changing timbres
-Soundtrack: [3 out of 5] Nicely done
-Musical Score: [3 out of 5] Not bad
Battle of the humors: Chigozie Atuanya (Mekus De Lalala) or Eniola Badmus (Badoskyyy)
For me badosky humor is funny (chuckle… haha… cute) but Chigozie!!!! Mekus makes me drop my blackburry and fall for ground. I literally *wusa* for de lalala.
A Tale of Five Sisters! Read the NR Review for Episode 1-6 of the iRokoTV series “Bloodline”!
Black Silhouette
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! This movie had nothing to do with BB but I was actually happy it didn’t till the foolish people ruined my happiness with the ashewo theme. OMG! Chineke! Oghene! Tamuno! Wetin now? Na only ashewos dey una head for this Nollywood?
Anyways, ka m rapu ihe a (let me leave this one) and move on to something no one has mentioned. I loved Karen Igho. She was OMG! But then my excitement is short lived because I know my dear Nollywood. They would either keep giving her these types of roles or just give her every crappy script out there or we suddenly find out that she can’t act jack after all. But we will still watch these movies. Am I right or am I right?
My fav in this movie was Chigozie Atuanya’s character aka Emeka the Internation Boy aka Emeka the Lalala. Are you eriously serious? The dude was on fire. My fav scene was when he said “Dogs, ekene m unu.” I literally fell off my seat because I didn’t believe he would actually say that to those guys. Yes, he was acting like an Onitsha boy but I started having a crush for him that minute. I mean the dude was convinced that he was razz and proceeded to show us that. This is what I call acting. This is my two cents about this movie.
lol I think your comment is complete on it’s own. I no fit add… I no fit remove… all correct ma/sir
heheheh, nice review but I preferred the first one. I didnt even go half in d 2nd, i got bored.
lol… the first one was more energetic
So i finally got round to watching this (was waiting for it to be free hehehe money is tight in this economy lol) and OMG Karen did not kill it she MURDERED IT wow i can’t believe how well she did for a first timer kudos to her! I agree with a lot of the things you said especially about the title i mean have they run out of names now mmmh the only thing i liked apart from Karen and her bobo Emeka ndlalala who deserves a post of his own was the twist like the Wet Angels boss turning out to be a knight as well. Otherwise this movie could have been done in two hours i still do not understand the need for the extra hours smh
Nne no need to tell me twice… we is in a recession. One can not be playing these ego-games right now.
and yup I agree… Karen was goooood. Loved Delalala 🙂
most baseless movie i have ever watched!!!!!! and it shouldn’t have been called blackberry babes how did it connect from the season 1 were tonto was a big girl to a sex slave?????? and as you rightly said it had nothing to do with blackberry … i have an ocd, a book or movie once i start no matter how stupid i must finish this is the only reason why i sat thru all 5 parts
Ah! I used to suffer from this disease too back in the days but NR cured me.
Imagine how frustrated my life would be if I had to sit through allll the crap in Nolly? Mba nu, that is not a life I’m about biko
Nne you are just too hilarious. Thank God for NR
seen tape one*
I saw damage when it was premiered in silverbed,the Film get as e be sha,though Uche acted very well,more than she had been doing,but the boring part was the beatings were much and boring,and so annoying,the film is just okay
I agree with most of your points. I have a Damage review on NR. You can search for it… I will bring it to the homepage again on Sept5th again though for all those who watch Damage on iroko
Wait ooo to see a movie on Iroko is $5? Na wah oooo,i wont go there for anything thats rubbish
Lol… tufiakwa. Noooo you don’t pay $5 per movie. You pay $5 per month for all their iroko+ movies. So any new movie that comes out in that month is included in that plan but next month you pay again
Just seen the tape ne and I don’t think i want to put my self through that kind of torture again. Also heard that Damage is boring as hell. Am positive I am not renewing my subscription with iRoko.
I’m telling YOU! iroko has to wow me in september or my $5 is staying in my pocket. haba, we are in a recession o. Thou must not waste money this season
I weak joor. Cheering de la la la. don’t they get tired of acting aimlessly like headless chickens? Ah. I weak. Mm. Next mofie prrss 🙂
Haha de lalala was a character but yes! Next movie… Damage is coming to irokotv.com September 5th for all those who haven’t seen it then that’s what’s next
Okay,i belive this is better,though i like Eniola here,Tonto,karen,this Ruth kadiri,i dont know she doesnt do it for me,as in,i dont feel her at all,she was in Boys cot too,that old movie,u know they had girls cot and Boys cot,i saw it one day on African magic,i even feel she wrote this script,as for that Onyi Alex,another horrible Actress,mtchewww,i think from what u wrote this one is better o,i will watch it plix,i like chigozie,John paul,i no dey feel that guy at all,fake all over him,the guy dey annoying me,whenever i see him i swear,nice one NR
I don’t even remember what happened in “Boy’s cot” but I’ll take a wild guess and assume that Jim Iyke was in the movie too?
But I agree with most of your points.. thanks 🙂
See my gbagauns,the guy dey annoying me,lol,the Guy is Annoying joor,JOHNPAUL,fake is written all over him,i am watching this movie today,cheers
Lol I didn’t even notice the gbagauns until you pointed them out.
Goodluck o! You will need all the luck you can get. When you’re done come back and tell me how far you got and how you liked it 🙂
It is interesting that you thought it was better than the old one whereas I preferred the first. The waka passes here were too much for me!
Actually there wasn’t one I preferred over the other. I guess the only reason why it appears as though I liked this one better than the last (considering the reviews) is that there are more rating criteria now than NR had then so it’s easier to get a higher (or lower) rating.
