Not as good as it should have been.

Rating: 5/10 (17 June 2013)

ZULU
What a disappointment. I was thinking this was going to be such a good film... everyone I have spoken to says this is a good film and a classic... but I just thought it was average at best.
The film is about a group of British soldiers who are at war with Zulu warriors... but the British solders are greatly outnumbered.
The story was very weak. It could have been so much better. The first half of the movie was very slow... not a lot happened and it was just the build up to the big battle that went on through the second half.
The big fight scenes were good. I enjoyed them, but the acting was terrible. When someone got shot or stabbed it was so badly done that you could see that they were not even being touched. The blades were fake and when a man had a giant hammer, you could see it was made of foam as it kept bouncing and bending.
The film stars Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins, Ulla Jacobsson, James Booth and Michael Caine. There were some good performances at some points in the movie, but in general it was not very convincing.
The second half of this film was fun to watch, but they didn't need the first half to be that long.
I will give this film 5 out of 10.
I was expecting more so was very disappointed.
