Enough already, with the complaints!

"Whenever a classic like "Zulu" receives a review, the tendency is to berate the production of the DVD. My view is rather that I wish I had 200 movies in my collection of the quality of this DVD. Production values aside, the DVD at least recreates the original theatrical perspective of what is the finest historical military epic ever created. What a wonder if we had even 50 movies in the same genre of such quality! Buy the DVD and enjoy the experience!"

The imported Blu-ray version of Zulu is OUTSTANDING

"I had purchased the Paramount dvd release of "Zulu" a couple of years back. I think it is one of the best dvd presentations of an older title available. There were articles reviewing a blu-ray release of "Zulu". A search Amazon products listed under "Zulu", a blu-ray disc popped up. It was only available through "sellers" in the "Amazon marketplace". I was dubious about buying an imported blu-ray disc. I took a change and purchased the UK blu-ray "Zulu" for $17.31. "Zulu" arrived one business day after another disc, purchased directly from Amazon,and ordered at the same time. At least I had gotten a disc for my money. However, would it play on my American OPPO blu-ray player? Yes, the disc played. Yes, the quality is better than any movie I have seen from that time period including the wonderful blu-ray disc of the 1st James Bond film, "Dr. No". There are also extras including a commentary audio track.

Did I really need to spend another $18.00 on a film that I already had and that I considered an excellent transfer? I have good a/v equipment. I want to see all films I admire in the very best presentation available. With the Blu-ray version of "Zulu", my expectation, for the most part, were met. One complaint, and this is a shame, but the audio is NOT up to current standards of even older blu-ray titles. This means John Barry's brilliant score is not given respect it is due."

Zulu is a Classic Adventure movie

"The movie falls into a category of African adventures along with "The Naked Prey" with Cornel Wild, "The Ghost and the Darkness" with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas, "Kings Solomon's Mines" with Debra Kerr and Stewart Granger and "Mogambo" with Clark Gable
Zulu is a great timeless movie with excellent character development along with well choreographed battle scenes
The music and the African battle chants are a rousing part of this epic.
The chanting/singing exchange between the soldiers and the Zulu warriors makes this movie one of the few classics that is inspirational
I was pleased with the quality in comparison to a DVD I had purchased a few years ago. A very bad transfer to DVD
The Blu Ray is excellent with good color and detail. Only one thing annoyed me a little but I overlooked it later. Jack Hawkins appearance was too soft in detail and the wrinkles of his face were smoothed out giving it an artificial plaster look that could pass for too much make up. But over all I was please with the video,audio and overall clarity of the blu ray.

I recommend this movie for your collection of classic adventure movies."

This isn't a "Chick Flick"! - Awesome!

"This is one of my top three movies of all times. On DVD, it can't be beat. If you haven't seen this movie - you need to."
