The Digest:
The most anticipated Nollywood sequel of the year faces the turbulence of high expectations. According to a review in Premium Times, Omoni Oboli’s “Love in Every Word 2” delivers lavish romance but struggles with a bloated runtime and narrative missteps, leaving audiences to wonder if the magic of the original can be recaptured.
Key Points:
- The film continues the love story of Obiora and Chioma as they navigate wedding plans.
- A three-hour runtime is criticised for including excessive and unnecessary subplots.
- The lead actors' chemistry is initially stilted but improves as the movie progresses.
- Bambam’s characterisation, specifically her accent and soft-spoken delivery, is noted as a setback.
- Key actors like Chris Attoh and Patience Ozokwor are reportedly underutilised.
- The review highlights noticeable plot holes and inconsistent character aesthetics.
- Praise is given to the cinematography, wedding scene direction, and supporting cast performances.
