Zorro

As one who has been a fan of Zorro since the Walt Disney version, and definitely a fan of the Banderas movies, this interpretation isn't bad at all.

The inclusion of the Native American and the strife they endured is definitely a new twist. The scene settings and location shooting were top notch.

The storyline was intriguing to say the least, the acting on the other hand wasn't Oscar worthy, yet it was very tolerable and enjoyable.

All in all the series was an entertaining experience. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I rated it 7 stars, I wouldn't mind seeing a second season.

I am a huge fan of Zorro, been a fan since I was there kid one another kid came from France and would always watch Zorro when he came over. A series was black and white then it was in French, and he only speak French but surprisingly despite this I enjoyed watching the show and having a French speaking friend who I couldn't actually talk to.

That said, the show is all right, an interesting twist to how's our Zorro is betrayed, but it seems like they are trying to tick all the boxes for for some serious virtue signaling. If that was not bad enough, the dialogue in this series is awful it's as if it's written by AI and the actors who are saying those lines don't seem to really bring the words to life in any convincing way.

In the end all I can really say is it's that it is, okay. I mean if there's nothing else on the watch I suppose it can hold you over until something good is released.

It's harder and harder to find a decent interpretation of classic stories in our age and time so this Spanish production came as a surprise.

In times of endless reimaginings, reboots and "fixing for modern audiences" trends it is refreshing to see series that more or less follows the traditional roots of the tale.

Of course this Zorro is different from all the other Zorros before him and this story has its own twist that might not be the best, but it's what it is. There are no major and drastic changes that would overturn the character of Zorro and make him unrecognizable, like so many other movies/shows do nowadays. The main plot points that characterize Zorro are still there: The masked avenger who leads double life; Robbing the rich to give to the poor etc.

Sometimes the story goes into extreme left area where people are labeled "bad" just for the sole reason for them being rich, while all of the "poor" characters are portrayed as noble and decent fellows.

This kind of gullible approach is common for all Robin Hood trope stories though and I'd suggest to switch off Mr. Adam Smith in your brain and look at it lightly...

The mandatory part of all the Zorro movies and series - fencing, is done rather well. There is no shortage of fighting scenes here and they're mostly staged competently. (But in no way realistically). If we take Princess Bride duel between Westley and Inigo Montoya as an example of realistic and Antonio Banderas' Zorro as an example of unrealistic, it leans much more towards Banderas.

Actors playing their part very well in most cases and you shouldn't really have many problems with them. Musical score is also nothing to complain too much about but it's not anything extraordinary as well. I'd say, Zorro deserves better.

The series certainly had its problems with pacing, some plot-holes, inconsistent or underdeveloped characters and so on, but if you don't think about them too much, they can be forgiven.

Overall - if you like action, period drama, fencing and some mindless fun, watching this series won't hurt you for sure.

The show itself is good. The storyline, the acting, the action, that's all pretty good. I actually like the show except for the English overdub. It seems as though the overdub is trying to reflect the feelings or situations of the characters in the moment, but misses the whole context of them. The overdub lacks everything that you see on the screen. Did they hire professional people to do the overdubs? If they did, they surely did not get their monies worth. That's why I gave it an 8 rating, the overdubs. For that reason I don't see a season 2 going forward. The overdub has to be much, much better than season 1.

An 8! As someone who has never even watched "any" version of Zorro I can say I did like it. All the different cultures competing was confusing. I like and have seen Miguel Bernarduea in elite and liked him in this. Besides him I don't know any of the the other actors but this isn't poorly acted because you don't like or agree with the way it's written! As someone who has never watched anything Zorro I liked it. It may not be of the "original Zorro" but this is 2024 and I thought it was really good. The filming. Acting , and filming was very good. I almost turned it off in the first episode after that slow mo fight scene( as I hate them) but in the end I really liked it! Just wish it had a more fleshed out ending since more than likely a season 2 isn't happening.
