Some absurdities in its depiction of history and reality aside, this is a well paced and suitably harrowing war film. The film does a fantastic job of capturing the sense of dread in the impending threat of the Zulu in the first half while displaying an engaging battle on the second. The combat is sloppily choreographed in some parts with fakey looking camera cuts, but this doesn't diminish the overall tension of the battle or the sense of brutality. Shame the ending was really lame.

One of greatest war movies made as far I am concerned. Too bad that half a century afterwards most movies do not get even close. And goddamn thanks to Sabaton, that I got this masterpiece on my radar.

What I liked about this film is that it's no-nonsense. There's barely any backstory or framing; there's just a fort, and Zulus attack it, for the whole film. Caine and Baker make a good central duo, and it's always made clear what is happening unlike in modern action movies. Some of the hand-to-hand combat is a bit clunky, but the military tactics, organisation of troops, and sheer numbers involved keep it compelling. A fine effort, if you don't mind the colonial chest-beating nature of it.

Very well made old-fashioned war flick. The battle is brilliantly structured, gorgeously filmed and has epic scope and engaging presentation. Music is fantastic as well and acting is pretty decent throughout. I didn't get the racist or colonial argument but it doesn't quite manage to settle the story between the brutal futility & glorious heroics of war. It tries hard to have them both but doesn't quite succeed. Interesting, exciting & massively competent. The very end was a minor let-down.

Feels a little outdated at this point, with the amount of war films that have come out that are far less procedural and more thematically complex, but Zulu sets itself out to put its viewers in the experience of this war, with inevitably grave consequences, and does so with an uncompromised brutality that is harrowing, yet thrilling to watch.

I actually really liked this one. Top notch acting and directing make Zulu a great film along with the writing and the all around feeling you get from watching the actors and everything else. ENtertaining for me. Good, small story from history. I personally liked the music score.
