Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

ghoultown I have always been a fan of Zorro, especially the Guy Williams interpretation. Naturally I had to check this film out.The first time I watched it, I wasn't really impressed. Not that it was bad, but I was expecting more than what I got, especially with the theme music. However, after a few more viewings, I fell in love with it.A lot of it had to do with viewing more George Hilton and Sergio Corbucci spaghetti westerns and a lot of it had to with acquired taste I sadly admit.However, with each viewing I love this film more and more. Duccio Tessari does a wonderful job mimicking the camera work Sergio Leone and Corbucci without copying any of them and Moustache is superbly hilarious as Sgt. Gonzalez. Alaine Delon masters the duel identities wonderfully. And now I love the theme music.Please note though that this is an extremely budget spaghetti western. If you're expecting the Good the Bad and the Ugly you'll be disappointed.

Cristi_Ciopron Within the frame of the eminently savory European swashbucklers, Delon's Zorro is more kindred to Sandokan or to the B. Spencer buccaneers flick The Black Pirate than to the French Fanfan, Cartouche, etc.. It doesn't so much come from the French swashbucklers made by Philippe, Marais, Belmondo, Gérard Barray,etc.,but it certainly plays as a worthy contemporary of the Sandokan movies."Zorro" is first of all a comedy and an adventure movie. The camp note is intended. They did not want a straight swashbuckler, but a comedy. Stupid, but likable in an unpretentious way. None of these funny and moderately thrilling films is very intelligent; Sandokan isn't, the rest of them aren't. It's goofy but yummy because it has a certain warmth and brio and flair; this is called craftsmanship. It is noticeable that if the Americans had I. Allen, the Europeans had, in the '60s and '70s, many such craftsmen. Delon has all the glamor required by the role and does a highly likable physical part. The rest of the cast is as incompetent as it gets, but Delon was man enough to keep the adventure moving. For me the cinema genres reached their best in these European films of the '60s and '70s—and in all the domains—swashbucklers, adventure, Sci—Fi, horror, erotica, thriller, crime, western, etc.. Even the slapdash was amusing and funny; "Zorro" is rather slapdash, yet it has this hugely enjoyable Italian gusto, the fine score, the sense of the comedy. In fact, the Delon "Zorro" is a comedy, a comical swashbuckler. It was very lucky that they have got Delon for the main part. Delon's Zorro is usually passed under silence when Delon's roles are discussed—as if it was something shameful. On the contrary, I find his performance here to be very Such a cinema will not be very much enjoyed by those who don't like exaggerations—a certain type of exaggerations—the purposeful ones—the same class of man, I believe, who don't like, for the same reason—the exaggerations—albeit meaningful ones—the Turkish poetry and music. In "Zorro" everything is goofy and exaggerated—yet everything is yummy ,and few things are phony. Delon was given, as Zorro, little room for his well—known narcissism, so he obeyed the spirit of the film and gave a joyful and comical performance, almost uncharacteristic of him, and immensely adding to the movie's sense of joy.

devisme_christine Scenario well done, Magnificent realization. Alain DELON is masterful role in the role of Zorro.Humor, and fight in the magnificent sword. The last Duel is long but of an excellent beauty and a precision. Decorations very beautiful with a perfect stage setting. Role main things are interpreted with a lot class and of professionalism. Difficult to resist to a film of this scale for time and even even today. Not need of special effects as today with the Zorro of Antonio Banderas to appreciate the high quality of this film.A film to be seen emergency.

zorro2a This is an insult to the Zorro legend, it is just awful, the filming is overexposed, the acting by some of the cast is way over the top, Alain Delon for most of the time walks about with a few days growth of beard, and poor Stanley Baker, not a good film to nearly end his career on, and l don't think the director Duccio Tessari knew what he was doing, and that awful awful music every time Zorro appears, if you ever have to see this film you will know what l mean, to many deep closeups, and added sound effects of swords clashing together spoilt this films, well for me it did I don't like giving a film a low mark, but as Zorro is my favourite film character this is a disgrace so 1 out of 10
