So much has it made?
Great.
Not surprised. I saw it the day it premiered at Kada Cinemas in Benin and mehn! People sat on the floor of the cinema hall. It was so hilarious, the whole place was packed and filled and the ticket attendants kept selling out tickets, ppl sat on d friggin floor! It was worth the money n floor-sitting tho
Very good,congrats.
I watched the movie today and I must say it was well worth the hype. The acting was top notch, the cinematography was excellent and everything else was professional! Maybe this movie will get Nigeria its first nod at the Oscars! Great watch!!

You never make sense, idiot
Hmmm! Can't wait to see this movie. Seems its worth all the hype. #Cutebusybee
I guess all of u hav not seen d movie.. d movie is a waste of money. Trust me. Linda post my comment
Linda, you said the movie broke the box office record and yet, you did not write how much it has made so far. You ended up listing the figures for other movies while leaving out that of Half a Yellow Sun that purportedly broke record. This is yellow journalism at best.

its a nice movie but i pray against war in our generation...
Watch on floor ke?but i watched dis movie dis morning on my laptop and the dvd version ohhh....God bless America
Bishop wey dey lie, you wey nvr watch d movie!
Half of A Yellow Sets New Cinema records at the movie but we have not been told how much it grossed at the Cinemas. All I hear are the numbers of other movies but they never told us the figure for Half of A Yellow Sun. How are they making the comparison. What is wrong with these ppl.
The movie was great. What happened to Kainene wasn't fair.
good
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
I watched this movie on sky demand on television. I really enjoyed it. Being a child of the 70s the setting in the movie took me back in time to a post war Nigeria. The scenery was on point, I could just imagine the taste, smells and sounds of Nigeria back in the day. It's so different from what it is today. The ideologies that made Nigeria have all gone. It's really sad. I must say that watching the movie which I did 3 times over yesterday I sort of realised why the nigerian government was a bit uneasy about this movie. But they needn't have worried because the old Nigeria is dead and in its place is the wannabe hip hop, jolly jolly naija generation who don't understand or really care about their rights. The naija government has seen to that with the Dis education of new generations of Nigerians. Kudos to the directors of this beautifully portrayed movie, reminding us that can remember what Nigeria was all about.
Chyke thank u. Exactly what I said before I saw ur comment. Like seriously. Msheeeewww
Can't wait to watch it
FACE OF LIB
I'd like to watch the movie to see what the fuss is about..
* My R1.50c comment *
I watched this movie, paid on playstation to watch it and I must say it's the most overrated movie I've ever watched!!! Media shd just stop selling us crap mehn. The acting was natural and good, but the story line is bullshit.
I saw it and it was nonsense, I regretted paying to watch that. Just some Biafra history movie
Really? You must not know your movies! Overrated crap abt Biafra and shit. Good acting but story without head and tail
Thank you, anonymous. I am surprised at what is being hailed here as a fine movie. For 10m Dollars it looks like a washed up soap opera. There is a terrible disconnect between the persona of Tandie and the character she is FORCED to portray. There is a strained effort to have her speak Igbo - the result, pathetic. Who did the casting made a mess, quite frankly. I
have always thought Genevieve NEEDS to go for voice training - her voice lacks cadence and
for an actress that is most needful. He sentences lack soul, each comes out like dead beats. The girl sure needs an education there.
The war scene interpretation is a joke: the bomb explosions - too careful.
Then, finally, the screenplay writer approached the adaptation of the novel from the MOST LAZY perspective - love. What about the RAWNESS of war and it being the destroyer of respectable personalities and their identity constructs?
People, go and read the INTERNATIONAL reviews by New York Times, The Guardian and SEVERAL others - the reviews are bad because, it is ACTUALLY a MEDIOCRE film. However, as usual, our people are hailing mediocrity.

I dey wait mke e hit dvd ooo, I never watch d movie, but I don read d book....
C.E.O
Chyke you've spoken my exact thoughts. How can they tell us it has broken a record without stating what it has grossed so far at the boxoffice? Oh well! I guess it is just a publicity stunt
@chyke...u ah a communicator...thumps up
I feel the movie is overrated compared to the book.
I can't wait to watch it
Lovely movie. Lovely movie. For the first time, was proud to be a Nigerian.
Hmm great movie. But too much obscene scenes. No wonder the delay before release. It should teach people that war is never good for any reason. Meanwhile I watched it in my laptop from my USB. No b cinema.
Ive watched this movie and it was worth it... I could relate to nigerian history and I'm so getting d book.. Its a must-watch. Not d usual nigerian movie nonsense
Humm, I like d commnts abt d movie, I will watch it. LIB Princess!
PR window-dressing. The thing is that the idiot media knows how to mesmerise its idiot audience. Tomorrow in arguments idiots will quote this stupidity with aggression. It is the Nigeria of our today where the media is gabbage and its audience, gabbage. All of them tumbling together in idiocy and led by a colony of arrogant idiots which have employed the Okukpes as spokesperson, the Tiwa Savages as role-models, and the Charley Boys as epitomes of creativity.
I concur, waste of time and money!!!
The movie a waste of precious time. It was an activity without the soul of nigeria. The story was produced by non nigerians. I think nollywood ought to produce its own nigerian version of 1/2 of a yellow sun. With nigerians who know how dance, shout, and wail when the need arises. We couldn't even feel the pain of war.
Thanks dearie

linda i think u shld make ur researches right.half of a yellow sun can neva be beta than guardians of the galaxy.
This is actually a MOVIE and not pantomime. So please don't waste your time if all you are looking for is some brainless performances to help kill of more of your brain cells. An excellent depiction of a nigerian era long gone , quite felasque. Unfortunately wasted on the uneducated minds of a congregation of baboons. Like throwing pearls to pigs.
Awesome, Its a lovely story buh u'll appreciate it more if you read the book first and ayodeal.
