The King is MIne 1&2


Starring: Jackie Appiah, Nadia Buari, John Dumelom, Kofi Adjololo

Same cast again with top Ghanian actors and actresses. Ambition and greed becomes the motivator in an attempt to find the heir that will replace the King of Doduala. This movie surprises me as it is a remake of the popular movie 'the Other Boleyn girl'. This is sort of like an African remake done beautifully. If you know the story of Ann Boleyn then i guess you know how this film goes.

Good
John Dumelo, is looking handsome as usual and I must say that the props is done very well, the palace looked believeable, I am very sure that was a real palace. The acting is impeccable and everything is on point. Nadia plays the evil sister the best way she can. Its unbelievable, also how far Ghanians go to make their movie perfect. Even the kisssing scenes are done perfectly. Ghana is going far.

Bad
Why is he obsessd with having a male son!!, it seemed like the only thing I kept hearing. Funny first scene with the random speech about Africa and pride, or something like that, I fast-forwarded it. Also, there are very scary scenes of childbirth in this movie that can put people off. honestly, child birth is painful but it is not that painful.......having an arm or an ear chopped off hurts 10X more than giving birth (unless its a complicated delivery). Going through labor is painful but the delivery process, although still uncomfortable, does not necessitate all that screaming....its almost like she's being burnt alive, a few deep agonizing moans is enough.

Rating 4 stars
