LOL


she has a point.. Pete Edochie isnt a versatile actor, you cant compare him with Morgan Freeman, once you see Pete Edoche in a movie, you can almost predict the outcome of his character



..

That is a big fat lie as Pete Edochie is versatile in many roles. Probably you just watched few of his movies to draw conclusion. Same way you and others think about Patience Ozorkwor because you are used her wicked roles in movies but it turns out that she plays any role given to her. Same thinking many have that they begin to stereotype people unnecessary.

I tried googling sugarbelly and google was only giving me dictionary meanings of sugar and belly. But try Pete Edochie, and you can't exhaust the pages.
I rest my case.

it's all about choice, a boss can not be unbossed! Pete is a lion, " things fall apart " Okonkwo, if you know.

Ladycewhy:
is that so me predictor, well i too can predict how a James bond film will end, and i will be right 99% of the time .

"James Bond" is a character that's been played by Many actors over the years like Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig etc.

each of these actors act other roles in other movies so I have no idea what point you're trying to make unless you're agreeing with me

Ladycewhy:
I am sure the same person considers Mr bean a good actor .

From Mr Pete's days in things fall apart till now sugatbelly will never till "it" leaves this earth match up to Mr Pete. Nonsense. By the way who/what is this thing called sugarbelly ,this is my first time of hearing about it.

"it" LMAO, like she is worth nothing and should be considered a thing. We Nigerians are known to defend and stand by our legends. Thanks for defending the Legend Pete Edochie

Nonsense

She's right, tho.

Same lunatic who accused former kogi gov of rape lol

sinceraconcept:

Its not a matter of thanking me, i just don't see any sense in what it is saying,as i am not even sure that sex of the person.

and i asked you before does a catechists ,a ritualist, a wicked uncle, a hunter ,a chief priest all sound alike to you ?

Also people choose to focus on their strength and not weaknesses ,i dont know any other popular movie done by mr bean and i am sure not seeing him play his normal act will be somehow . Same way a Jim iyke will not be good for the role of a native doctor or a jackie chan playing the role of a vampire Enough of this nonsense abeg.

Pete edochie act as abacha that year

generationz:


True. His age and body build.

Same can be said of Tom Cruise who is also typecast, but you won't see one mumu coming out to say he doesn't know how to act.

After bashing her, now chill. Think about it, without being sentimental. Can she be right? The fact that something is popular doesn't make that thing the best, infact it can mean they are cheap. The fact that an opinion is popular doesn't make it right. Case in point , people now challenge Tithing, you don hear am before? Even those that bashed daddy freeze then,have gone back to read their bible, and they've been frozen ever since. I agree with sugarbelly.

Trust me, I can predict how all of those james bond movies characters you mentioned are gonna end 99% of the time.

No be normal actor and boss film!
Mtchew.
If not for Game of throne wey Change the dynamics of actor no dey die,
You think any of the avengers go die not to talk of a whole Iron man?

Hmm...she is kinda right that maybe he isn't a versatile actor and not as good as many purport him to be, but calling him a bad actor is reaching.

fiercehillz:



Pete doesnt do other genre abi...see ehhn let us always appreciate our own...I have watched movies where Pete played a pauper, a Bishop, a village heaster etc.

in amina he acted as an emir and played it well...its not his fault he get those roles since he does it well just as we knew patience ozokwor as the wicked mother in law in films...some people are better suited for a role simple... she might have a point though but the way she presented make it look like Pete hasn't done good all these years

Sirwallace:

Character and actor are different.

Abeg no play with Pete Edochie o...na Ezemmo in the game

midnighter:


All those people are great actors! Please name somebody else!

You didnt get the point...Pete and those actors are all great...they are all best suited for a particular genre.

generationz:


She's kinda right in a way.

Pete edochie is a stereotyped actor.

Once you see him you know what he's going to be doing.

Kinda makes a person too comfortable. Plus he knows that he will always get roles as the Grandaddy of Nollywood.

I dont have to mention how Joke silver and Olu Jacobs bore me with all the accents. *eyeroll*


If anything I'd choose Chiwetel Agu and Patience ozokwor, Even Onyeka Onwenu.


But that's just me.

My favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is one man that can never be put in a box. Never. You never know what to expect with his movies. That's why he has played so many biographies and brought famous books to life.

Are you even putting it into consideration that Western movies and African movies are not in any way on this same level, so give credit to who it belong using that person context to judge him.

Our inventory software makes all the difference..

Is the same way Messi has been playing for the same team,yet HE IS THE GOAT!!!

..

what is versatile about Morgan Freeman? He is either training agents, or being a father figure to someone.

The problem is that most of you started watching movies in 2010, so, you are using that to judge Pete. What versatility has Morgan Freeman shown?

Is the same way Messi has been playing for the same team,yet HE IS THE GOAT!!!
Na diabetes go kill you with that stupid sugar for your stupid belly!!!

Well, the thing work for her sha. The attention she's seeking came finally.

Okay. Excuse me, I misunderstood you

Pete Edochie we know and respect,

BUT,

Question : Who is sugarbelly?

Answer : A Twitter !

Very broad. I think ''one of the Twitter s'' describes here more precisely.

handsomebanana:

Naaa Tom cruise is different. Those roles are challenging.

Can you in your church mind compare a Mission impossible movie with all the daredevil stunts involved to a village movie where Pete Edochie sits half the time?


Every Mission impossible movie is better than the former. Trust me, this is coming from someone who's a big action movie critic and only watched all mission impossible movies this year.

I was stunned.

Besides that, Mission impossible is a movie franchise or series like John wick and James bond.

Certain elements must be present e.g The lead actor being an agent or a spy or something.

Mrquote:

Reread my comment. I gave examples of African actors I LIKE.

How is not being a versatile actor, according to you, translate to being a bad actor?
Like someone rightly said, Mr Bean is a bad actor as well.

Pray tell what you are agreeing with, that Pete is a bad actor?
We need to properly delineate that.
And the one that is calling Pete out, what is she known for? Can she walk half a mile in Pete’s shoes if she’s given?
And finally what’s the purpose of this calling out?
Let’s not form the habit of agreeing with these type of things just because it sounds different.
