Review Lisabi: The Uprising

Reviews for Lisabi: The Uprising

6.9 out of 10 stars (based on 31 reviews)

The fight scenes were great

September 30, 2024

The movie started off quite slow, and I’ll admit there were moments where I found myself bored. However, I stuck with it, and I’m so glad I did.

Some of my favorite scenes include the moment when Mr. Macaroni’s character is dying in Lisabi’s arms. Lisabi, in tears, pleads with him, saying, “You cannot die, if they are summoning you, tell them you’re not coming.” That scene moved me to tears, the delivery, the emotion, the sheer power in the acting. It was incredibly compelling.(48.03)Show more

Another moment for me was when Lisabi went fought with the tax collector, this was a “juju vs. juju” battle That scene had me screaming! It was so badass, especially when Lisabi used the sickle to slice his head off, I couldn’t help but yell, it was such a cool moment. (01:41.52)

Now, I do have to mention that the graphics left much to be desired. The magic scenes, in particular, were unbelievable, and I think they could have done a better job with the effects. But despite the visual shortcomings, the storyline was solid definitely a slow start, but it paid off in the end.

Good storyline, Rushed plot twist

September 29, 2024

While the story’s plot was engaging, it felt inaccessible to those unfamiliar with Yoruba history and the realities of slavery. The lack of character development hindered emotional connection, making it difficult to fully grasp the motivations and the depth of the suffering portrayed.
