Zorro Audience Reviews

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Atreyu_II I remember seeing this! It was quite a long ago, but I still have some vague memories of it in my head. I used to watch various TV shows as a kid (both cartoons and live-action), as different as water and wine between themselves. This 'Zorro' was one of them.Zorro means "fox" in Spanish, something I just learned. The legend of Zorro inspired many TV series (I even remember a cartoon one about him).Zorro is one of the great television heroes. This is the show that introduced me to Zorro. As a kid, I loved to watch this. It was so intriguing, full of adventure and action. Plus, I admired Zorro's intelligence and ability to fight against the bad guys, as well as his characteristic "Z" signature with his sword on the bad guys.In fact, I was such a Zorro admirer that there was a year when I disguised myself as Zorro at the Carnival time.Zorro is the secret identity of a man named Don Diego de la Vega. When he becomes Zorro, he wears a black-clad mask, a black suit, a black hat and large black boots.
Francisco Sousa Faria da Silva I consider this show one of the best shows I've seen in television.Guy Williams is the best Diego\Zorro ever and all the cast is wonderful ( Gene Sheldon, Henry Calvin, George L. Lewis, Britt Lommond, Jolene Brand).One thing that upsets me is when people compare this Zorro to Antonio Banderas' Zorro. It's completely different. Guy Williams is playing Don Diego de la Vega and Antonio Banderas is playing Alejandro Murrieta. Two different characters. This series are very well written and the swordplay is fantastic. They used real swords because Walt Disney wanted realism into the scenes. After episode 52 - "Amnesty for Zorro" the series go into a different format. I enjoyed the stories ( specially the one with Diego's uncle, Estevan ( played by Cesar Romero). This is what I think. They should've done another 13 story arc- in which Monastario (Britt Lommond) returned and Ana Maria (Jolene Brand) discovered Zorro's identity.Zorro is one of my favorite shows ever! All in all , this is great and even today is fantastic. A show for all ages!
carlosmendoza648-1 I am sorry but I don't agree with most of you when you say that Guy Williams is the best Zorro. You see, to be the best Zorro, we would need there to be at least another Zorro. Then you can say this or that is better. But the problem is there is only one Zorro: Guy Williamns!!! Besides, the other characters are just superb: Seargent García, Corporal Reyes, Bernardo... They all add humor and art to the series. ASnd what about the villains? Monastario outstanding, the Magistrado Galindo, The Murrieta Brotehrs, and the eagle... The Girls are so beautiful and enchanting: Elena, María Crespo, Rosarito, and of course Ana María Verdugo. This is just a piece of art, that's why you see every chapter over and over and you don't get tired...
headhunter46 What a guy he was! An incredible athlete. He was daring, romantic, and well-mannered even under stress. At times witty, and a bit mischievous in dealing with the villains. Women pined for him, and men wished they could be him. He had a clever way of making the criminals pay for their misdeeds. As I remember it was a show an entire family could watch with no apprehension. Good, clean fun for all. And the underlying moral, "Crime does not pay." At least it does not succeed if Zorro is around. There was always an intriguing plot and I remember many good laughs while watching this nimble hero foil the plans of the evil commandante. This was well written, and well acted TV entertainment at its best. I was almost 11 years old when this show first appeared on TV, but I remember the dashing hero as if it were yesterday. This is the Zorro that I will likely compare all others to. I must say that Antonio Banderas put an incredible amount of energy into the latest production of Zorro. I greatly enjoyed it and will watch for the sequel due out in 2005. Perhaps Antonio can get access to some of the original Guy Williams versions and raise the bar on his portrayal of the dashing, cunning hero dressed in black? I rate the Disney Zorro played by Guy Williams as 10/10
