MOVIE REVIEW: “Scars Of Desires Episode 3,” Produced By Femi Adebile

Reviewed By Ajibare Abioye

Happy new month, folks! You’re welcome to the review of Scar of Desires 3. Like I opined in my review of the previous sequel, this third instalment has the form of an episode rather than a feature film. I would say that the movie is increasingly becoming more about the personality of Warrior, who is indeed a character that you cannot ignore, even if you tried to. The background music repeated severally contributed its quota to Warrior’s foregrounding.

The many Warrior-led scenes would be better interjected with those regarding Johnson, Darasimi and Folakemi. Scene ordering and editing scene-to-scene movement also need to be done more smoothly and not abruptly.

With regard to visual and sound effects, party scenes have to be more convincing, while gunshot and blood spillage sounds don’t have to be generic, and can be more creatively portrayed.

It’s important to note that there are a few new characters in these sequels, most prominently Richard Omidiwura’s Officer George. Priority needs to be given to embedding new characters deeply into an existing story, so that the audience would understand and possibly, relate better with their plight.

Ahead of Scar of Desires 4 to be released on Sunday, July 3, 2022, I need to commend the use of both English and French subtitles in order to have a wider reach. However, I believe the standard practice is to have the second subtitle in a different colour – usually blue or yellow – so that there would be no confusion as the audience follows the text onscreen.

Those are my thoughts on Scar of Desires 3. Watch out for my review of the next part coming out a few days after its release. Also, I’ll be doing a mid-2022 review of gospel movies this new month; so, watch out for it!
