A second review of the Yoruba epic (First review)
Note: One MAJOR Spoiler ahead.
Deliciously flamboyant, Jagun Jagun is a cultural spectacle designed to impress with stunning visuals from start to finish. But it might leave you feeling like it didn’t make good on some of its promises.

Warning: do not watch with English audio, you will be sorry and miss out on the beauty of the Yoruba language.
The Yoruba epic cinematic universe is taking shape, Top 5 epic Yoruba movies and where to watch them, and the latest Oduduwa kingdom adventure is action-packed and deserves a 7/10. It features the usual suspects (Toyin Abraham, Asiwaju baby was shunned for bad PR?), and they did their jobs.
If you are looking for an educative cultural showcase littered with wise sayings, great visuals, and enchanting soundtracks, this is the movie for you.

This movie, produced by Laide Daramola and directed by Biodun Stephens, had A-listers like Adedimeji Lateef, Bimbo Ademoye, and Lilian Afegbai in acting roles. The director, Biodun Stephens had directed movies like ‘A Breaded Life’, ‘Sista’, and ‘Introducing the Kujus’, all critically acclaimed movies, so one might enter the cinema to see Hotel Labamba with high hopes.
