The Mark of Zorro Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025The Mark of Zorro (1940) is a highly entertaining film featuring larger-than-life characters. Tyrone Power delivers a standout performance as Zorro, utilizing his intelligence to rectify the injustices committed by wealthy and greedy men. Even today, the movie remains an enjoyable viewing experience and a must-watch for those seeking a fun and thrilling adventure.
- theLillyPadFebruary 17, 2025The only actor to rival Guy Williams and Antonio Banderas, Tyrone Power brings a more angry, thirsty-for-justice ora to the character. It works. Anyone who has read the Curse of Capistrano will recognize a lot from this movie. The sleeper draw is actually its secondary villain. Basil Rathbone showcases his immense mastery of the blade whenever given the opportunity--and he is often given it here. He might actually be at his best--though that's a hard choice to make between this, Robin Hood, and the Court Jester. I recommend the Mark of Zorro to anyone who likes good swordplay, or the character of Zorro! Its an all-time great swashbuckler, and you will find it fun to revisit every few years.
- Billy ZaneJanuary 10, 2025The best Zorro movie. Really takes you back in time and the actors are fabulous.
