Throne of Grace
Yul Edochie, Jiboa Dabor, Artus Frank, David Ihezie, Ebele Okaro, Martins Njubu, Chinelo Oloh
Who will be crowned the next King? A question everyone in the palace keeps asking. Two brothers lived in harmony until their father broke the news that Ifunanya (Frank Artus) is not his biological son meaning he cannot be crowned the King but rather Chijioke (Yul Edochie). The death of the King came as a shock to the entire palace but the most intriguing part was the will he left behind read "Ifunanya should be crowned the next King". He is not royalty, so why must he be crowned the next King? The only question that sparked anger in the palace
The sequel to "Throne of Grace" is called "End of Throne of Grace". The movie has four parts: Throne of Grace part 1 and part 2 then End of Throne of Grace part 1 and part 2. The sequel to this movie is also called "Anointed Prince" in some parts.

Redundant storyline, overstretched and arguably boring
-Story: [1 out of 5] This movie drrrrraaaaagggggggeeeeed sha and then it dragged some more and after that it dragged again and again and again. Some movies just seem like a chore to watch is all I have to say. But I guess to some it could be considered entertaining… I thought the fundamental blocks upon which the story was formulated (huh?) was interesting but somehow somewhere…. it got boring
-Originality: [1 out of 5] Again, the main points of the story (which I shall not reveal because I’ve been warned about giving spoilers away) where original on their own. However, the execution, the crisis, the conflicts were basically the same recycled palace-drama. The movie kind of sort of reminded me of Charles Inojie’s “Rejected Princess” also starring (here’s a shocker *note sarcasm abeg*) Yul Edochie as the king
-Predictability: [1 out of 5] …well…not exactly many ways the movie could have gone
-Directing/Editing: [1 out of 5] What’s right with the directing? It was not frustrating to watch. What’s wrong with it? 1) It’s in four parts 2) There were some lines in Igbo that weren’t subtitled and finally, the execution of the entire movie just seemed really off to me.
-Acting quality: [3 out of 5] I suspect that I’m beginning to sound like a broken record with this whole Artus Frank situation. An amazing actor this guy is but I just can’t get past his enunciation… I just want to reach through the screen and choke the words out of his… argh… *moving on*. Yul Edochie! Does anyone else remember back in the day when all Yul used to act was lover boy roles? He was always someone’s lover or husband or boyfriend or almost boyfriend or something geared towards the same direction. Then all of a sudden, he decided he wanted diversity. Then came “Pleasure and Crime” and after that? A spree of Royal movies. Seems to me like he left the lover boy roles just to become eternal prince. My guy can act but let’s leave royalty alone for a minute abeg. I see Ebele Okaro coming back strong. She’s all of a sudden in many of the recent releases *hats off*. RIP David Ihezie. And lest I forget, Chinelo Oloh is not cutting it for me biko… stop it now
-Setting: [3 out of 5] Same throne room as “His Royal Majesty” (yet another movie in which, Yul Edochie plays a prince – just saying). Good!

-Costume/Make-Up: 13 out of 5] Nope! I kid you not… Justina Ibeakamma is legitly trying to pass off two spirally earrings in a girl’s weave as ‘royal hair adornments’. Chei! I die a thousand times over
-Props and Graphics: [3 out of 5] Ok
-Video Quality: [2 out of 5] Generally good except the blue lighting on the night scenes… that didn’t sit well with me, I’m sorry.
-Audio Quality [2 out of 5] Musical score louder than dialogue in a couple of scenes
-Soundtrack: [3 out of 5] Yes, I admit! I have a general liking for soundtracks in a native language
-Musical Score: [3 out of 5] Nicely done
