Summary: Absolutely bloodcurdling
Review: I think I saw this on TV. The fighting is so realistic as to be terrifying. Not for the weak of heart or stomach. But like vampire films, it does have its macabre appeal.

Summary: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES; EDUCATIONAL
Review: I viewed this on TV when it was first aired. I was very impressed by everything. For those that haven't the slightest idea or have any connection to this historical event, this is an educational movie to consider. What I was surprised about were the similarity of the names and places shown such as "Bulawayo" and "nandi". Do a little reseach of the Fiji Islands, i.e. the language and the people, and you'll see what I mean.

Summary: Boobs, Boobs, everywhere
Review: If you have a spare afternoon and need something to get you through the day, this is your movie. At first, I almost mistoke it for a porno, then I actually heard someone talk. This movie contains many brutal scenes of bloody death. I don't recommend it for children. Other than these few drawbacks, the movie is OK for your viewing pleasure.

Summary: Authentic insight into the Zulu peoples
Review: In Cy Endfield's 'Zulu' and the sequel 'Zulu Dawn', as well as an awful faux-patrician accent by the young Michael Caine (stick to cockney roles please Michael!) we encountered the Zulu nation merely as a monolithic black asegi-waving horde that was obliging enough to offer itself up as canon fodder to the measured firepower of British redcoats. However, we learned nothing about the Zulus as individuals or as a people suffice that they were brave and had a certain respect for the bravery shown by their foes. In Shaka Zulu, we encounter these magnificent people 'National Geographic' style with the capable telling of the origins and eventual pre-eminence of Shaka Zulu, the father of the Zulu nation. Make no mistake, though. Shaka's not the kind of guy you'd invite home to meet the parents. He ranks alongside Darius, Atilla, Stalin and Hitler as one of the great despotic rulers of all time. The story is told in two threads: the first strand involves a group of English emmissaries sent to parlay (and stall) Shaka as his expansionism began to threaten the Cape Colony. The second (and more interesting thread by far) tells the story of Shaka's mother, Nandi, and how she overcame unbelievable adversity in siring Shaka against great social prejudice and how her sick little boy grew up to become one of the most feared men in Africa. Simply marvellous stuff with brilliant vintage performances by Henri Cele as Shaka, as well as Edward Fox and Robert Powell. As Jack Hawkins' reverend Witt character said in 'Zulu', "the Zulu are a great people!" You better believe it.

Summary: Excellent movie but no DVD features
Review: It was a great idea to make a DVD out of this extraordinary series of Shaka Zulu. The DVD version is much better than the VHS version because it's the original full-length track from the original series. There is no cut or anything. However, there is no special features (subtitles, languages...) even though the cover says there are. Don't get tricked. There is absoluteley NO SPECIAL FEATURES. It's a pity because if included, those special features would have made this DVD a perfect one. Tha's why I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Summary: Like a novel
Review: Just so you know what your getting into this dvd is 3 dvds long but each dvd is two sided. Its very long very british and very detailed. That said if you like reading novels but lost your attention span this is a good way to learn the story of britis in afrika. It moves along well. I have only made it thru the fist dvd so far. the other thing is there a lot of nude scenes so beware if you are offended by young black nude women. also som shots of old chicks boob. so i would say its a good legal alternive to that R. kelly video that could get you arested.A good epic with no lesbians to ruin it.Enjoy your day.
