La rivincita di Zorro

I also am reacting to the first commenter who says the old Disney series of Zorro was bad and thinks the Duncan Regehr and Antonio Banderas Zorro portrayals were better. I have only seen YouTube videos of the Duncan R. Zorro and it is awful in my opinion. The sets are cheesy and the story lines are boring. I do like Antonio Banderas as Zorro, but there are only 2 of those movies. Not enough to satisfy a real Zorro fan. I think Guy Williams was the best Zorro ever. I have all the Disney DVDs of the show and wish that somehow they could be done in high definition. I don't know if it is possible since they were all filmed from 1957 to 1959.

The Zorro series from Disney had good swordsmanship, great story lines that usually lasted over several episodes. There was also a lot of humor. Some of the best humorous parts were cut out of the movies that were made from episodes unfortunately. You are better off watching the series episodes than the movies, but if you love the series, then you will probably also want to watch the movies anyway.

It is a shame that there weren't more Zorro episodes from Disney. I have a lot of friends who never saw the Disney Zorro series when it was first on TV in the late 50s, but it was shown in the 80s on the Disney channel and they became hooked.

I got hooked all over (I do remember the 50s show) but I got my interest revived after reading Zorro by Isabelle Allende who also was a huge fan of Guy Williams as Zorro.

To react to the comment "Horrible movie like the series" I'm sorry, but I do absolutely not agree with this. I don't know about the 'Duncan Regher' version of Zorro, so I can't say anything about that. I have, however, seen the Antonio Banderas version. It's true that he's is spectacular, but why write of the old? I think Guy Williams does a great job portraying Zorro and I really enjoy watching him and the others. The script and characters aren't as good as they could be maybe, but hey, look at all those soaps, they aren't doing better! I think this version of Zorro is great fun to watch. After all, spectacle doesn't make a good story.

This series depicts the fictional life of Don Diego de la Vega and other citizens of Spanish California. Guy Williams is, in my opinion, one of the greatest actors that ever was and his part in this series is crucial. That of Don Diego/El Zorro. This is what TV drama should be like. I only wish their were more of these made. It airs everyday of the week on the Disney Channel at 1:00 AM Eastern Standard Time and switches from the black and white version to the modified color version every other completion of the series. Dont let the black and white fool you! This is a great show.

The only reason I put a 9 out of 10 is that I haven't really SEEN the movie itself. If you have seen all of the Disney Zorro episodes, then you already have seen the movie for the movie is comprised of some of the TV episodes. The original Disney Zorro show is a classic show with heart, lots of fun, and great adventures. It's simplicity has been remembered by all who grew up with the show. Zorro was created in the Disney fashion; music, great writing, stunts, costumes and lessons to be learned. It really outshines family movies and shows today. If you enjoy great fun, without a lot of noisy explosions and outrageous stunts getting in the way of a story, Disney Zorro shows and movies are perfect for you.

Guy Williams was the perfect Don Diego/Zorro. He had charm, wit and intelligence. He was skilled with a sword, which made the fight scenes even more realistic (aside from the fact that Walt Disney had Zorro and other characters fight with real and sharp swords).

Disney needs to release the shows and movies on DVD for the fans!

A step down from 'The Sign of Zorro', but 'Zorro, the Avenger' still leaves a tonne to enjoy.

Guy Williams is again terrific in the titular role, while Henry Calvin also brings another solid performance as Sgt. Garcia. I don't think the villains are as strong this time around, but Charles Korvin's Varga is still menacing enough.

The plot is more stretched out and easier to tell it has been merged from television episodes, with Zorro this time on the backfoot more often than being the one plotting; I preferred it the other way, from the preceding film. It's more entertaining watching him craft things together, as opposed to reacting each time.

Interesting to watch this, unlike the other, in colour. The sets don't quite look as nice with colour, though it still all comes together relatively well.

A tweaked storyline and a shortened run time, then I would've liked this as much as the 1958 production. Still, a good film.
