★★★★★ · great film, surprisingly excellent colorization · Jeffrey Doak · 2025-02-04
An excellent adaptation of classic Zorro. Normally I am not a fan of colorization, because it is either sloppy, like Hal Roach colorings (such as Night of the Living Dead); or weird like Turner studios colorings; or worst of all, A.I. colorized, which are absolutely atrocious. Whoever colored this had a lot of respect for the ideals of Technicolor, as this films coloring is surprisingly vibrant and colorful where it needs to be, and the skin tones are very natural looking (sometimes Turner's look like it was done with crayons)
