The only classic to begin with a "Z"

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2003)

Unfortunately, thats all that Zulu is famous for. Thats actually quite a shame because I thought it was a classic to live up to its name. I'm not one to blindly obey what critics say, but I found Zulu to be an intense, periodic war epic.
Acting standards have greatly increased over the years, but the performances from Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins and a young Michael Caine truly were outstanding. Perhaps the plot was a little thin but it managed to remain engrossing for the two and a half hour running time.
If you haven't watched it from the very start then you probably won't get full enjoyment from it, you don't feel the time going by whilst watching it. Zulu is a definitive classic which hasn't dated over the years. 8/10
