Ratings Guidelines

Movies rated on this site will fall into three categories:

Level 1 (out of 10): Naija/Ghana standard movies
These are usually movies with interesting storylines and competent lead acting. However, because many movies out of Ghana and Nigeria are rush products, they are often plagued with many production errors. These include but are not limited to: some really bad wakapass actors (extras), lighting problems, drawn out scenes, sound issues, at least one mismanaged scene (usually hospital, court or police), etc, etc. For some of the better movies out there, while these problems do not render the movies unwatchable, they do diminish the quality. Therefore, movies at this level are judged based on the prevalence of these issues.

Level 2 (between 11 and 15): Better than Naija/Ghana standard, not quite international standard.

For movies in this category, attempts have been made to clean up some of the usual errors and adhere to a different standard of filmmaking. These movies are usually technically proficient, and display good picture quality, good sound quality, and inventive story lines.

Level 3 (out of 20): Ready to take on Hollywood e.g Tsoti (SA movie and Oscar winner).
Movies in this category are ready to take on the world. They are world class, and are not hard to recognize.

Please note that we do not recommend any movies on this site that earn a rating of anything less than a 6 out of 10. Otherwise, we would have to watch a lot of junk and we refuse to spend precious time and money doing that. If you want reviews that encompass ALL movies, no matter how bad, see here or here or here

Enjoy!
