Konterr Brilliant and touching
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
bastiaan0740 After ghostbusters, it seems that rebooting a successful franchise with a female lead, doesn't guarantee its success. Yet this is exactly what happened with the 'Queen of swords'. Having grown up with the old Zorro series starring Duncan Regehr, this one seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience, he antagonists aren't true stereotypical cartoon characters as much, sometimes posing a real threat and actually killing people; but nothing overly violent. For what it is, an 80s-like show aiming for some swashbuckling entertainment, it couldn't have been executed better. It's a little more layered and fleshed out than the original Zorro series, but not so deep as to abandon its fun concept. A great job, reaching a well deserved 7/10, the maximum I'll give for the genre.
black_stormraven First off, I just want to make it known that I adored this show! I don't even remember my first time watching it. All I remember is seeing an ad for it, then months passing without seeing a full-length show, then channel surfing to find a masked woman in black sword-fighting soldiers. That got my attention and held it for the rest of the series. Sure, it's basically Zorro only with a lead female instead of a male, but it was (and still is) a joy to watch! The scripts were original and clever, the costumes were beautiful, and the landscape was just stunning! The fights were also done well, as were the shots of the actors on horseback (I'm a horse-lover, so I noticed this).The big problem with it was the dialogue between characters. Some of it was clichéd, other times absurd. But then most of the time, it was it was decent. Sometimes I knew the next lines before the actors themselves said them. Despite that, the show was engaging and the characters were likable, even the villains: you just loved to hate them and see their plans get foiled. Tessie Santiago and Peter Wingfield had such great chemistry together that I wish the series could have gone on just to see what would come of their relationship (especially since I have a somewhat unhealthy crush on Wingfield).This show was robbed by being cancelled after only one season, and I'm just glad that I managed to record most of the episodes before it stopped airing frequently on SiTV. I will always love this show! !Viva la Reina!
ddalbw How horrible this show was not well received. I've only found it recently on reruns on SiTV and I love it. I've seen two episodes and was hooked after the first. I like other syndicated series like Xena, Relic Hunter, Andromeda but the historical aspects and the stories I've seen so far are more realistic and the story of Zorro is a classic. She is dressed better than a lot of the women in similar series. The one comment Family Friendly is important to me and this one seems excellent. Boy do I wish there was more than one season I would love to have the VHS tapes If anyone knows how to find them email me at [email protected] do love Zorro and having a girl as Zorro is great!!! I like shows where the hero has a secret identity and loves someone who doesn't really care for them as normally. It may only be romantic fiction but its a great escape from the normal everyday world.
Taram The show is very well scripted with phenomenal acting by the star and the co-stars. Queen of Swords is an obvious female Zorro but with some differences which make the series relevant to Y2K and more interesting than the old Zorro series. The scripts are able to cover a great amount of information in 43 minutes so the viewer feels satisfied but not confused about how the story got from point A to point B. The show reminds one of Batgirl and Xena mixed together, but better. Definitely a memorable piece of television to start off this millennium.
