60 of 163 · most liked first#KillingEve was my introduction to Jodie Comer. I already knew Sandra Oh is everything. But Jodie? I knew nothing about her. But WOW. It’s like when “The Mask of Zorro” introduced me to Catherine Zeta-Jones as a kid. I sat up in that movie theater SHOOK. Still gay, but SHOOK.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's so funny to me how often THE MASK OF ZORRO gets left out of the 90s pulp movie conversation due to it being a smash critical and commercial success and not an overbudgeted box office bomb beloved only by paperback perverts like us
positive · AI labelView post →The Onion AV Club review of The Mask of Zorro mentioned "the almost comically beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones," and that's exactly right: When I saw that movie I literally burst out laughing when she appeared, not believing someone could be that gorgeous.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wild rewatching THE MASK OF ZORRO and realizing that there was a big budget Hollywood movie with a Hispanic lead who fights for the Mexican people and the primary representative of the U.S. is a psycho nutjob killer. Not saying watching it is praxis or anything just...wild.
positive · AI labelView post →Thank you for your lovely review! It was such a fun film to work on — and the director, Martin Campbell, went on to direct such films as GOLDENEYE, THE MASK OF ZORRO and CASINO ROYALE, among many others.

neutral · AI labelView post →Showing my kid THE MASK OF ZORRO. God, I love this movie. And the whole “citizens standing up against tyrants” thing feels particularly timely.
positive · AI labelView post →I've mentioned on various occasions that I absolutely adore the 1998 movie The Mask of Zorro but it's just occurred to me that I have never given this movie enough shit for the fact that it calls Tornado an Andalusian when he's clearly played by a Friesian
neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Mask of Zorro, still a lot of fun. A Midsummer Night's Dream, really good looking sets and fun cast. Romeo+Juliet, loved this movie back in high school, the soundtrack is still good. The Drama, good but messed up, great performances.
positive · AI labelView post →A crossover movie starring the heroes of Django Unchained and The Mask Of Zorro has been revived at Sony. The movie, based on Quentin Tarantino and Matt Wagner's Django/Zorro comic books, is now being penned by L.A. Confidential's Brian Helgeland. Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Curse of Capistrano (1919) by Johnston McCulley was adapted numerous times notably as the Mark of Zorro (1920/40) & The Mask of Zorro (1998). The book relates a simple local rebel vs the film's Californio blue-blood with an anti-imperialist message. 🤺🔔⚔ #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →>He calls himself "defiler of daughters" If that's all the rape stuff is based on, then it's very much the opposite of a rapist. Just like you said, a rogue. A romantic one at that. It's an age old trope. Stealing the lord's gold and gems *and* giving his daughter one while you're at it, consentually, ofc. Basically, like a reference to the Zorro stereotype. Or a somewhat loose but direct reference to the Mask of Zorro, which wouldn't have been too old of a movie at that point. The time…

neutral · AI labelView post →My hot take is that The Mask of Zorro is a better 90s bisexual movie than The Mummy
positive · AI labelView post →NW: #TheMaskOfZorro An epic swashbuckling movie filled with great acting, amazing sword fights and great pre-CGI stunts that has that old fashioned feel and despite the semi-cliched revenge plot, it’s ultimately a lot of fun. #FilmSky #MovieSky #Zorro
positive · AI labelView post →Btw, The Mask of Zorro trailer is still BANGER. It was edited by movie trailer legend Phil Daccord—who was senior editor at Giaronomo Productions when I was an assistant there (though Zorro was before I started) The end montage lives rent free in my head
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched Cleaner (2025), a British action movie directed by Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Mask of Zorro, Green Lantern) and starring Daisy Ridley. I wanted it to be decent just for Daisy's sake, but the best thing about it was the mercifully brief 97 minute run time. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie is The Mask of Zorro.
neutral · AI labelView post →That right there is the millennial experience. So many culturally defining movies came out before the 1980s that by the time you're being raised in the 90's, they're making children's media that references it. I knew the plot of Star Wars long before I saw it. My favorite example is The Mask of Zorro, which...not an old film, but it came out when I was slightly young for it. A few years go by, I'm in high school, and Shrek comes out. Then it's sequel, with a swashbuckling orange cat voiced…

STORY - STATE AND MAIN - THE MASK OF ZORRO • If necessary, 100-proof bourbon
neutral · AI labelView post →Today's film the Mask of Zorro starring Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, and who could forget Catherine Zeta Jones. Great film! They don't make em like this anymore full of heart, action, memorable characters. #filmsky #movies #films #Cinema
positive · AI labelView post →Oh, hell yeah. Watching "The Mask of Zorro". Such an amazing film. Also, between Catherine Zeta jones and Antonio Banderas, one of the sexiest movies ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →fascinating to think of the state of Batman as a film franchise in the years leading up to Batman Begins. watching a Siskel and Ebert for the Mask of Zorro where they compare it to Batman and Siskel remarks "well I don't think anyone's touching Batman for a good long while"
neutral · AI labelView post →The amazing thing is, while Hollywood often screws this up and follows a film like TITANIC with PEARL HARBOR, the pulp hero wave of the 1990s actually led to great/fun/interesting movies. THE ROCKETEER, THE MASK OF ZORRO, DARKMAN, DICK TRACY and (arguably) THE PHANTOM and THE SHADOW kick ass.

neutral · AI labelView post →I was excited to see CLEANER, because it's directed by the great Martin Campbell (GOLDENEYE, CASINO ROYALE, THE MASK OF ZORRO, NO ESCAPE, EDGE OF DARKNESS...). And the film has a couple of nifty action scenes, but it... could have been better. www.vulture.com/article/revi...

positive · AI labelView post →Can't recall whose line it actually was but back in 1998, a critic who may or may noy have been Roger Ebert accurately described Martin Cambell's sizzling swashbuckler THE MASK OF ZORRO as a “gift from the movie gods” and honestly ... I could not agree more. 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Wrote a few words about a perfect movie. #TheMaskOfZorro boxd.it/bgfYqb
positive · AI labelView post →The new Knives Out is coming up. The first and second deserve a rewatch. The first Matrix, too bad they never made any sequels. The Mask of Zorro is my all time top guilty pleasure. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is great and *incredibly* horny. Princess Bride. Hot Fuzz, gets better every time you watch it. Labyrinth, yes plz. Muppets Christmas Carol, later in the year, but like the best Muppets movie. Wallace and Grommet, any but Curse of the Wererabbit is my favourite. Rocky Horror…
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's rewatch was THE MASK OF ZORRO, a film that cares for its audience by giving them Antonio Banderas in three decreasing levels of scruffiness.
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Mask of Zorro with my girlfriend last night. It's a great movie, I'm kinda mad at myself for not watching it sooner lol I'm well aware that Zorro is a classic character, but now I see the same appeal in him as spies and gentlemen thieves!
positive · AI labelView post →Has Batman's timeline slid enough that the movie the Waynes watched that night was the Mask of Zorro yet?
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mask of Zorro: Still a better Batman trains Robin movie than ALL the other ones. There's *NO* reason for this medium-complex double-plot to run longer than 2 hours, so it drags slightly while, mercifully, never sucking. The writers behind Aladdin and Shrek fuckin' DELIVER. #FilmSky Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
positive · AI labelView post →Wild that THE MASK OF ZORRO is never mentioned in conversations about the best superhero films when it's a pretty much perfect example of that kind of movie.
positive · AI labelView post →While this series is a swashbuckling continuation of Alejandro Murrieta’s story that began in the iconic film The Mask of Zorro, it also serves as a chance for me to speak to our present moment, showing that even in the darkest of times, there are still those who will fight for what is right.
neutral · AI labelView post →It was my turn to pick for movie night last night, and the kids are now big fans of The Mask of Zorro. XD The children yearn for swashbuckling adventure!! They're already big Pirates of the Caribbean fans. I'm trying to think what else I should put in the mix.
positive · AI labelView post →A is for Action. I would suggest The Mask of Zorro. Excellent film helped by Martin Campbell who did two Bond films also
positive · AI labelView post →Yeah, there's whole modes of pulp, sincere genre experiments and lighthearted romps nerds disqualify with this sentiment. Give me more of The Mask of Zorro, The Crow, or RoboCop if that's what the movie calls for.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mask of Zorro has never gotten the recognition it deserves. A real throwback to the films of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks. Martin Campbell brings the same action film mastery he did to Goldeneye. The stunt work is inspired as is Banderas’ turn as Zorro. #Swashbucklers #TCMParty
positive · AI labelView post →54. The Mask of Zorro (1998) The movie that helped forge the DNA of modern action adventure blockbusters. If Pirates of the Caribbean became the core DNA everything would eventually then Zorro is the primordial soup it formed in. Which is funny, given how lesser-remembered it is.
positive · AI labelView post →Not as ideal a swashbuckler as THE MASK OF ZORRO that came 5 years later, but this movie legit slaps. Michael Wincott is almost nothing like Dumas' Rochefort, but be delivers a perfect "Darth Vader" to Tim Curry's "Cardinal Richelieu by way of Emperor Palpatine."

positive · AI labelView post →Not every day you get to talk with 2 iconic action film directors. I chatted to Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, The Mask Of Zorro) about his new film CLEANER & Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) for his latest flick OLD GUY for the Movies In Focus podcast. Talk about lucky!
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching The Mask of Zorro. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen this. It’s time for a rewatch #movies #film #filmsky #moviesky 🎥 🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie was The Mask of Zorro, released November 27, 1920, if that helps any.
neutral · AI labelView post →Zorro to Naughty Dog. They could balance light-heartedness and action set pieces with character drama like The Mask of Zorro movie. Melee combat, horse riding; we know they excel at all of this. And Zorro could use him whip for combat as well as platforming like the grappling hook in Uncharted 4!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mask of Zorro singlehandedly revived the FUN SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER genre. How easily do we forget. We owe so much to this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Martin Campbell, the director of GoldenEye, Casino Royale, and The Mask Of Zorro, has a new film coming out with Daisy Ridley as a retired soldier-turned window cleaner which is basically Die Hard but British. Looks cool. Trailer here: youtu.be/y_EG0MxwAO4?...

neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching The Mask of Zorro. Still holds up wonderfully. Lots of breat comedy beats, really fun action choreography. Strong performances and delightfully hateful villains. It was @happycannibal.bsky.social's first viewing and took her 40 minutes to recognize Hopkins. So young & swarthy.
positive · AI labelView post →One of my favorite things about The Mask of Zorro, already a perfect movie, is that there's no whiny horseshit about vengeance being bad. Anthony Hopkins is like "No, no, I'm teaching you to do revenge CORRECTLY so you live to laugh over the corpse of he who wronged you."
positive · AI labelView post →While I was visiting Dad he asked me to put The Mask of Zorro on the TV. Really not sure what I think about that film but IMO Anthony Hopkins had more charisma than anyone else.
