Movie Reviews of Zulu
Movie Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
First, let me stress this: Buy the MGM release! All others are pan and scan public domain and do not do justice to this magnificent movie.
Over 200 people have already had their say, and I have nothing very different. This is a fun, exciting, and deeply moving movie experience. An interesting sidelight is that it's one of Jack Hawkins last roles with someone else doing his voice--due to cancer. And it's the first major role for Michael Caine who does an incredible job of leaving all traces of his Cockney origins behind. If you already have an inferior pan and scan DVD, replace it. You'll be glad when you get that flat widescreen!
Movie Review: A Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favourite movies of all time.
A must for any collection.
It's basically a true story about 100 fit and 40 sick Welsh soldiers being attacked by 4000 of the world's bravest soldiers, the Zulu, and how they fought them to a standstill using single shot Martini-Henry rifles and 24" pig-sticker bayonets.
Two scenes always stick in my mind. One is where the Welsh out sing the Zulu with "Men of Harlech" and the other where after the battle, the Colour-Sergeant tells Lt. Chard that it was won with "a rifle and bayonet with a lot of guts behind it!"
Forty odd years on, it has not aged at all.
One word to describe it?
Fantastic.
Buy and enjoy.
Movie Review: Great old war film
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a great movie, Michael Caine's first actually, based on a real british battle, it's a movie everyone should watch.Movie Review: Zulu
Summary: 5 Stars
Endfield's breathless depiction of a rag-tag English force battling an implacable enemy remains one of our very best war films. Baker (who co-produced) was never better, and got his mystified Zulu extras to cooperate only after showing them an old Gene Autry Western, which helped them understand the nature of acting. In one of his final appearances, Jack Hawkins registers as a fanatical priest, and you can almost see the word "star" emblazoned on Caine's forehead. Like the heroes it portrays, the stellar "Zulu" richly earns a chestful of medals.Movie Review: A small pocket of History
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the great action/adventure films of all time, Zulu has the advantage of being inspired by an actual incident in British Colonial history. Credit Stanley Baker and an exceptionally fine cast for bringing this almost unbelievable,even if true, story to vibrant life.
