Wonderful to see on the big screen again

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2019)

I saw this when I was about 13 and was gobsmacked. Today it was on at the local theatre as part of a classic movie event and I was again gobsmacked at how good it still is. The chants or singing of the zulus, the courage of both sides, the incredible scenery and, as for many, the wonderful scene of the competing voices, Men of Harlech vs the Zulus chanting, is the standout for me. So many reviews have already highlighted what is good about this film so I can only add my encouragement to see it, if possible on a large movie theatre screen. My one gripe is the anti-Christian and highly inaccurate portrayal of the Witts, a shame the directors used this method to contrast the bravery of the soldiers and Zulus. Otherwise I'd give this a resounding 10.
