The Legend of Zorro [Blu-ray]
starring Antonio Banderas
Banderas Is Zorro!!!!!!!
The Zorro brand of hot-blooded derring-do returns with The Legend of
Zorro, starring Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the roles
that brought them stardom with The Mask of Zorro. Now married for ten
years and parents to young rascal Joaquim (charming Adrian Alonso,
perhaps being set up for a future Son of Zorro), dashing swordsman
Alejandro (Banderas, a Spaniard playing a Mexican) and sultry spitfire
Elena De La Vega (Zeta-Jones, a Welshwoman playing a Spaniard)
abruptly divorce, sending Alejandro on a drunken binge--which only gets
worse when he learns Elena is being wooed by the mysterious Armand
(Rufus Sewell, a Brit playing a Frenchman). Little does Alejandro know that
Elena has ulterior motives, and that a worldwide conspiracy and a secret
weapon will soon threaten the integrity of the U.S. The Legend of Zorro
has way too much plot, leaving room for only two genuinely preposterous
donnybrooks and a handful of lackluster brawls. Banderas and Zeta-Jones
flash a bit of their considerable charisma, but by and large they (and the
movie as a whole) are on autopilot. Not awful, but lacking any real spark. --

Lights, camera, ACTION!!! As much as I enjoyed his intro as Zorro, in The
Mask of Zorro, I was thrilled with this sequel. I've loved many a Zorro in
my time, but Banderas puts just enough "human frailty" into the character
to make him my all-time favorite! Catherine Zeta-Jones is beautiful as
ever, and it's great to see her character come alive with some 'female fire'.
My only critique that could be considered the least bit negative is that the
use of the terms "Mom" and "Dad" was totally out of the time period. But
then, even Tornado, the horse, was given a few "lines"..... I just had a great
time watching this movie...... again and again!
