Love in Every Word.webp
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.
While the film’s visual splendour and moments of humour provide enjoyment, its lengthy journey and uneven pacing reveal the difficulty of bottling lightning twice. It stands as a testament to grand ambition, yet reminds us that even the most dazzling stories must be expertly anchored to sustain engagement.
