Movie Reviews of Zulu
Movie Review: They just wanted to build a bridge
Summary: 5 Stars
British Army engineers came to a mission to build a bridge and ended up fighting a three day war.
This movie is an icon of the 1960s. Clear, crisp colors. Red Brit. uniformed Tommies face off against the spear and shield lugging Zulus. Neither side will give.
Just from a cinematic experience alone one should watch this film. Some people might be squeamish about the death and carnage, but it is a fascinating slice of human drama.
All actors turn in marvelous performances, and I think this is one of Michael Caine's best.
Also, the John Barry score is the best non-James Bond score he did.
All around a good Friday night or Saturday afternoon movie.
Movie Review: FINALLY!! A QUALITY DVD of this great film!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will not go into a long review of this film. Its a great movie, and should be seen! But I have to say, after years of poor quality Public Domain released on DVD, some cropped, all of mediocre quality, that now a GREAT DVD has been issued. This MGM release is terriffic, Enhanced for wide screen and puts the other discs to shame. The ROAN DVD was good, but this one is FAR better, crisp picture, great color, not grainy!! Dump all your old versions and pick this one up! And for [the price], you can't miss. High marks again to MGM for this, as well as their terriffic line of Midnight Movies, that give us all those great old horror movies in quality releases!!!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: OUTSTANDING WAR EPIC
Summary: 5 Stars
1964 saw the release of maybe perhaps one of the best war movies ever made.superb performances by michael caine,stanley baker,jack hawkins,james booth,ula jacobson and narration by richard burton and directed by cy enfeild,the historic 4,000 zulus attack 140 british soldiers in 1879,spectacular battle scenes and oustanding performances makes this a great movie.the anamorphic widescreen of this presentation is outstanding.this is truly a masterpiece of work and a great addition to any collection but beware this is a nerve shattering experience that takes you in the middle of the battle unlike other war movies you may have seenMovie Review: THE BEST WAR MOVIE EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
A true story, Zulu is one of tha all time greatest movies ever! Acting is superb as is the realism and the struggle of the British soldiers to survive in a fight to the death against thousands of fearsome Zulu warriers. The courage of the British soldiers would impress anyone.
I think this is far better than any of the recent war films in that it deals realisticly with how the people reacted when faced with overwhelming odds. It doesn't use computer special effects or try to give some politicaly correct message its just a great movie.
