The No.1 War Film

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2001)

I'd had plenty of opportunities to see this film but never really found the time, until the other day. What a great film. Granted - the first 30 minutes were very slow, but once it got going, it was absolutely mental.

The reason it's a great film you see, is that you actually feel a sense of fear as you see the Zulu warriors, charging towards the British. The battle scenes last around an hour - non stop. However, everything you see on the screen grips you. The slaughter of the Zulu's, the hand to hand combat and the whole vibe of the film, make it a great powerhouse of a movie.
My favourite scene is where the British are in 3 lines, one behind the other, taking it in turns to fire and reload.
Well that's enough from me, I'll let someone else have their quids worth.
Rating 10/10 - Wicked
