Movie Reviews of Zulu Dawn
Movie Review: Worthy
Summary: 4 Stars
Its hard to know if you would understand what actually happened at Isandlewana if all you had to go on was this film - but all the elements are there - Screwed down ammo boxes - underestimation of Zulu capabilities - A trumped up rationalization of why we are going to annex Zulu land. The personalities - or lack of them - Overall a feast for the Military Historian. Not as satisfactory as a Movie (no happy ending here). The missing element here is that although this was a major embarrassment for the British Empire - The subsequent victory at Rourkes drift allowed them to save face - regroup and ultimately devastate the ZulusMovie Review: Two Parts
Summary: 4 Stars
This makes a nice companion piece to the movie Zulu. Released after Zulu, this movie is never the less a prequel. Both movies are stand alone, so it is not imperative to see one or the other before viewing either. A first rate cast and African scenery makes this a winner. Though there seems to be a bit of an anti-British undercurrent, the movie has only a few historical inaccuracies. The British did make a mistake, and sadly for the men involved, it resulted in the greatest defeat of a modern army by a tribal force. Incredible battle scenes make this a must.Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This prequel is, overall a good movie, though there are a couple of historical mistakes. No, I won't go into a history lesson here. The story takes place in South Africa and depics the what led up to the events in the 1960's movie 'Zulu' starring Michael Cain. The quality of the transfer seems at times to be a little fuzzy but overall it is a good quality. If you enjoy historical movies with action then you won't be dissapointed with this movie. Once the battle begins, it begins. And at times I can see the terror that the British soldiers must have gone through.Movie Review: not as good as "zulu" but a fine actoin movie just the same
Summary: 4 Stars
i just bought this movie after looking for it for many years.this "prequel" to the great film "zulu" tells the story of the british defeat by zulu warriors at the battle of ishalandwana in africa. think custer's last stand and you get what this movie is about. the battle it self is staged very well and is very exciting to watch. the history has been changed in some places to make it move faster i guess but they did take large liberty with it so one star off for that, but still a good old fashioned epic adventure story about a dark day for the british in afriaMovie Review: Nostalgic
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm only giving this one four stars because I've given Zulu five stars and Zulu Dawn is admittedly less polished. For full disclosure my review may be skewed by the fact that I grew up in SA and have been to many of these locations and watching this movie is somewhat of a nostalgic experience. That being said, I think that almost anyone can appreciate this movie as a solid rendition of a historical battle.
