    Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
    ruuuuta I couldn't agree more with the previous comments. This novel was really good. I like all stories of Zorro and I am watching hundred times and of course I also was watching this. The story was interesting, always was the the plot. Performance of actors was also good. Marlene Favela showed the great actress abilities, not like in previous her novels (Gata salvaje, Contra viento y marea). Christian Meier like always perfect, hot and stunning. He did his job amazingly. Villains - Harry Geithner and Andrea Lopez were great. Their love-scenes were so emotional and passionate. Also were other good actors, such as Lully Bosa (here differently in "El Clon"she was a good, decent aunt and woman), Osvaldo Rios or young actress Adriana Campos who fascinated me. I couldn't not mention magnificent music and gypsy dances.
    mixiepie909 I want this DVD...... My 76 yr old mother got me hooked on this show which is airing on TV in the day at 1pm to 3pm on channel 52. I did not see it when it started but I need to. I do not speak Spanish but I understand it and I have my mother who translates what I don't understand. I love this Zorro best of all Christian is hot. The story is so entertaining and never boring. It's nice cause u never know whats gonna happen especially with these characters. There all my favorite people. Who would of thought something in Spanish could be so entertaining. So now I am trying to find the DVD. So I can live in this fantasy world of El Zorro...........
    Disfan02 This was the best show ever. I'm a huge Zorro fan and have seen all the different versions and I have to say this is the best one ever. The story lines were great and so were the characters. It had everything in it adventure, obsession, excitement, anticipation, great fight sequences and of course the best of them all romance. Christain Meier who palys Diego/Zorro is sooooooooooo hot! So is Harry Geithner who plays Commandente Montaro is is hot too. I was able to follow the show very easily by turning the close caption on and reading the English sub titles. I even learned some things in Spanish. I really, really, really hope that they put this out on DVD or even replay it on t.v. because I 've missed the first month before I discovered the show. Better on DVD then maybe they could put any outtakes and interviews on it to. If you like Zorro then this is a must see show.
    craigman I might be the only non-Spanish speaking gringo that watches this show, yet I must admit that I'm hooked. Luckily if you activate the closed-captioning, the subtitles appear in English, so I can follow what the characters are saying. This seems to be the only show on Telemundo with English subtitles. I probably would never would have discovered this show, if not for my Peruvian wife, who started watching it before me. I missed the first month or so, and would like to see the whole series. Hopefully the'll run it again, or make it available on DVD.Probably the best thing about the show is the characters. There and plenty of interesting characters, some good, some evil, and some in-between. One of my favorites is Monterro, the evil blond commander who is the thorn in everybody's side. He has a dark sense of humor and the best sneer of any villain I've ever seen. There is also an obsessive hunchback, a freaky looking Marquise (reminds me of The Joker), a sorceress, gypsies, fugitive nuns, a woman prisoner with an iron mask, tortured evil one-eyed governor, a fat comic-relief soldier, vengeful Indians, an evil red-haired vixen, and of course Zorro himself. He fits the role perfectly, much better than Antonio Banderas did in those silly movies. Esmerelda is pretty hot as well. She reminds me of a more buxom Jessica Alba. I also like the ruthless bald soldier Pizzarro. You never know if he's going to help somebody or kill them. The bad-ass monk who mentors Zorro is quite a noble character as well. Like I said, there is a plethora of characters, pretty much all of which add to the show in a positive manner. This is probably because there are no bratty kids in the mix, come to think of it...This "novella" appeals to me mainly because there is a good deal of action mixed in with the obligatory romance. Also, unlike the sanitized American movies, there is quite a bit of violence, murder, torture, and even rape. The characters suffer quite a bit. A lot of this is implied, since it airs on regular network TV. There is some humor as well, to balance out the drama. There is also quite a bit of cleavage on display to appeal to me and other male viewers. Overall, I can't think of anything I dislike about this show. The opening sequence is very well done and enjoyable. I must have seen it a hundred times and have not grown tired of it. I've read that this show is a hit; I'm surprised nobody else has commented on it. Well, I definitely enjoy it and look forward to watching it!
