BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

blrnani ... because it goes for too many weak gags, but still fun entertainment. CZJ is as stunning as ever, as well as a kick-ass heroine in her own right, and Rufus Sewell makes a fairly convincing villain (tho' I prefer him in his positive leading roles), while Adrián Alonso is very cute. Unfortunately, Antônio Banderas and, particularly, his horse, are the roles where the film overdoes the silly gags. And that doesn't sit well with the tragic bits.

jreda1 The Legend of Zorro is a legend worth forgetting. It is drastically different from the first film in a bad way. There is no entertaining revenge plot in this film. The film has been dumbed down into a family friendly adventure. The cool chemistry between Antonio Bandares and Catherine Zeta Jones is severely lacking in this film. Instead of being ionate lovers, they are mostly depicted as bickering parents in order to serve the film's mediocre plot. This films plot is so silly by involving a French count trying to destroy the U.S. with explosive soap. Besides being stupid, the films plot is also historically inaccurate. I usually don't like to identify historical inaccuracies with movies set in history because it can be considered nitpicking. However, this film's plot is grossly inaccurate. For instance, there was no Confederate army in 1850 because there was no civil war then. While there are many bad points in this film, there are also a few good points. One of these good points is the films villain played by British actor Rufus Sewall. He is the mark of a true actor by being able to disappear into different characters, usually villains. He has the charm of a James Bond villain and definitely deserved to be in a better film playing a better character. Overall, this film is a drastic bore. If you want to see a good Zorro film, watch the superior Mask of Zorro.

SnoopyStyle It's the year 1850, and California is about to the Union. Zorro (Antonio Banderas) has defended the people for 10 years. His wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) wants to take some time to travel with their son. Zorro wants to stay to work for the people. She gets a divorce from him. Or is there more to it? Months later, Zorro finds his wife with wealthy nobleman Armand (Rufus Sewell) who owns a vineyard. They were old friends and got reacquainted. Only he's not what he seems.It's a tough way to start the LOVE story of Elena and Zorro with their divorce. It takes the air right out of the movie. It was tough to see them fighting at all. Of course there is no Anthony Hopkins in this one. That makes the couple's chemistry all the more important, and their split the more shattering.The action is swashbuckling as before. But everything is just a little more somber. The humor isn't there any more. It's all rather depressing.

Sapphire383 I don't know why some people disliked the film? Even saw one person who voted * on this amazingly great film. I totally LOVED it! The action as truly fascinating. How Zorro jumped and fought blended a lot with the action! Very much like Star Wars! The film really makes you feel like part of the action! And the boy I'd call him Little Zorro because he fights just like his father, is excellent. Very talented all of the family including his (as always) beautiful wife. My favorite scene is when Little Zorro rode the steed with ability and a lot of ion, and saved the day! Elena is great and much better then Zorro, because she is a woman and supposed to be the fragile sex, but she impresses with her talented fights! She is also very good at being a spy when she hides her identity, but as usual the bad guy finds out!
