King's Battle 1&2


Cast: Jim Iyke, Omotola Jalade, Patience Ozokwor
Omotola is the Nigerian born in America girl who wishes to see her motherland at all cost, and this leads to a lot of events unfolding, due to her return to Nigeria.Jim plays twins who are princes to the throne.

Rating:
Good: There is a lot of cultural knowledge. The movie tries to tell young people to come back home which is a very important topic. The costumes are also done very well. Surprisingly, Patience's "nice" character was believable, considering her history of mean lady.
Bad: To begin with, the "America" scene was obviously done in a home in Ikeja, The accent, secondly, that Omotola tried to portray was quite upsetting to American citizens. Jim Iyke could not play a twin to save his life. This was not his calling as he should stick to bad boy city movies. Village scenes are not his thing. Lastly this was bad characterisation as who in the world pairs up Iyke and Omotola to act their undying love for each other considering their height.

  1. This movie was simply atrocious. Omotola was supposed to have been born and bred in the states and the accent was an assualt on the ears... just dreadful... I couldn't get past it... BAD BAD BAD!
