I can surely pull a long list of the various things I detest in African movies especially those of Ghanaian origin. I guess you have your list of things that annoy and irritate your “bum” any time you sit to watch Ghanaian Movies.
One of my friends said; watching a Ghanaian movie nowadays is like a long prison sentence. It never ends with its repetitive punishments.
What puts me off is the usual “bootleg” British/America accent. No matter how hard these Actors and Actresses try with their fake accents, it comes out like a Chinese married to a German living in Libya and trying to speak English.
It is even worse if the Nigerians try it. The thick Nigerian English accent with traces of Yoruba and Igbo forced to sound like American puts me off completely.
Apart from the accent concoction we struggle with, the prolong scenes and unnecessary loud background music in some African movies make me sick.
I will not dig into the poor presentation of shocking moments. Actors and Actresses unnecessary shout on top of their voices or put up some ridiculous movements. (Jumping haphazardly is a common practice)
Let’s get talking, what do you most hate most about African movies?
