  Omoooorrrr, this movie deserves all the awards in the world, because it is a beautiful work of art. It's beautiful in all ramifications. I don't think I have seen any Nollywood movie well executed like this. Amazing storyline. Beautiful directing and acting. Great suspense and twists. The cast were too notch. Chimezie was amazing as usual. He can not act no wrong in my eyes. Same as Genoveva.  She is a brilliant actress. San Dede? Oh my days! Nzeribe, even with the few scenes nailed his role. This is the best of Adedoyin I have seen. He gave this movie his all, even more than he did in King of Boys. Wole Ojo is exceptional. Eku Edewor produced it and I am in awe. This is amazing. I cried and cried. And cried so more. I give it a 10/10.

  One of the things I noticed first about this movie was the creativity of the writer.  Very creatively crazy person. He or she has a very wild and wide mind. The twists and turns were really commendable. For one, I loved how both camps made Jolaade their mole. It's crazy. Casting was beautiful. Some acts will and can never do wrong in my eyes. People like Chioma and Chidi. Great acting. Funke was Funke. Nothing new or bad. Just there. Seun is good too but I feel like he didn't do too well here. I love how Ikechukwu has diverted to acting totally. He is Sha trying. Jnr Pope did great too. Acting was great to a commendable extent. Directing was beautiful too. Inkblot dey try when they want to. Story was a masterpiece. I'd give it a 7/10.

  If you remember how I mentioned from the beginning that the series had a lot of errors that just didn't cut it for me. But the episode 10 made up for a whole lot. Although, it had its flaws, it was a beautiful ending for the series. The writer is like mem this is how I write sometimes. Just want to rush to the end where the beauty of the movie is. I love how Maje lost both women. I would have preferred he ended up with Yaga but I don't understand the crave for Kate. I commented on the producer's IG post that we don't need a sequel. It's not necessary. Let all of us rest with this one. But I see her commenting like there'd be a sequel as she left a lot of things and characters open. Characters like Selense and Sapele water. In all, Slum King is just there as a series but I'd pick it over series like Wura. Y'all need to start giving Tobi his flowers. He is too good!!!

  It started beautifully, no doubt about that. The beginning was engaging, howbeit, chaotic, which is understandable. My wahala started with that scene Jidekene and his people threw that litted bottle. I expected a boom of fire.  I didn't get that. Then they now showed fire burning people. And I am like 🙄🙄🙄🙄 For someone who served in Bayelsa state, I can't speak one word of it. But I enjoyed how the non- South South cast spoke the Ijaw language well. They got the accent and all. So how did Bimbo Manuel know that the guy that he was looking for was going to be at the market buying something? It didn't make sense. The guy sef spent years picking money on the floor  How in God's name did that shop start moving? How?  Why is Jidekene still with his igbo accent? What is Nna doing in his vocabulary? Y'all don't work with these actors to learn and unlearn.  That Oyin epistle about the python God is crap. Having another action going on at the same time just ruined t...

  Not your perfect movie. But still entertaining.  I think it would have botched if it wasn't a true life story.  And the fact that it was a true life story really didn't give it that flair that it should have. Don't be excited. Don't have expectations. Just watch for watching sakes. PS: The Yoruba language is beautiful.
