Great Lucha Libre flavor!
Great documentary!, amazing footage in Mexico and the Us on lucha libre, shows history, and characters on lucha libre!!!
Great film for Lucha fans & a great way to introduce new fans to the sport.
I concur, very well done documentary. Great history lesson about the origins of Lucha Libre, lots of beautiful shots, and it has a very nice flow to it like a narrative film. 5 Stars you won't be disappointed.
Informative and fun to watch
I tuned in to watch Tales of Masked Men knowing very little about the world of Lucha Libre. When my brothers and I were kids we would watch Lucha Libre because it was more fun to watch men with masks on wrestling than it was to watch the ones without. So aside from watching periodically I can say that I never knew the history behind it. Being curious to find out more about the sport I wanted to watch this documentary.
From the beginning I was drawn to the stories of these wrestlers and their origins. I loved the blending of history with the profiles of actual wrestlers past and present. The music, the graphics, the colors all came together and wove a really great show. I highly recommend watching this documentary even if you know very little about the sport. Very informative and well made.
