Rating: 4/10 (14 January 2005)

I was very disappointed with this film; I purchased the DVD based on the high rating on IMDb. The film cinematography is excellent; the music is powerful (john Barry). But the action is disappointing, it show how fake is the killing and stabbing and the shooting. I never felt a moment of thrill except for one thing which I think it is the reason why this movie is over rated. It seems most of the viewers were thrilled by the majestic sounds of the Zulu fighters and their war songs which gave the movie its only thrills.
In my view, at the end it was the Zulu ethical stand and respect for courage who won.
