    This Zorro is bought to the audience with a good story, great production design, no lack of action and decent acting. That's why it can be considered as the best Zorro adaption on the screen. All though as all the other Zorros, it's a bit too predictable and that's what kills the movie.

    Traditional slick button-pusher of a swashbuckler with star power and all the other Hollywood devices both old and new. Although it touches on an estranged child and parent subconsciously seeking to resolve their lost association, as a matinee serial gone full length it's not really convincing as about anything deep or important. The nameless faceless peons Zorro champions remain anonymous and expendable. OK for what it attempts to do, which is nothing new or memorable.… Expand

    My second favourite movie of all time after City Of Angels. This is just one of those films which gives you that swashbuckling feeling, and like a good wine, gets better with age.

    A great movie!!! It has all that a crowd needs...a romantic plot, a slight touch of comedy, a great deal of tragedy, and most important of all a lot of action!!!!

    A swashbuckler that works on its own terms. A little overlong in the middle act, though. The action's good, but it seems to be the lighthearted swashbuckling kind as opposed to the usual blood, viscerallity, and high body count. Rich people seem to be a common choice of villain in recent movies of late.

    This movie is phenomenal and definitely one of the most underrated movies of all-time. The plot is great, everything flows wonderfully from scene to scene and it gives you that feel of a real authentic movie. The action is fantastic as well, I mean who doesn't love sword-fighting especially when its done this good. I thought characters were also well mapped out and you really do care what happens to them.… Expand

    I'm gonna be the first user to give "The Mask of Zorro" a bad grade. I just don't get it. It seems like a telenovela in some ways, so not good. 3 points from 10.

    The film is a display of traditional movie craftsmanship, especially at the level of the screenplay, which respects the characters and story and doesn't simply use them for dialogue breaks between action sequences.

    Spectacular, fast, never boring. But it's also one of the more disappointing movies I've seen recently.

    Proudly old-fashioned in every way except the often excessive violence that director Martin Campbell splashes across the screen.
