Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Despite trying to keep his swashbuckling to a minimum, a threat to California's pending statehood causes the adventure-loving Alejandro de la Vega (Banderas) -- and his wife, Elena (Zeta-Jones) -- to take action. Although The Legend of Zorro is nowhere near as epic and amazing as the previous and far superior Mask of Zorro was it's still a pretty good film with the 3rd act being the best part of the film. Although it's once again directed by Martin Campbell and Banderas and Jones return to their roles once more the film just doesn't have that magic and energy that the first film had maybe it was Hopkins or just the right time which was the 90's but something makes the first film really good and although this one isn't that bad they get a bit over the top with the humor in this one but i gotta say the adventure and the action sequences were really good and Adrian Alonso as Joaquin De La Vega was really good the problem wasn't the actors it was just that this is another sequel that didn't live up at the hype that was maybe surrounded from but if you watch it on it's own without comparing it to the original film it's actually a pretty good movie and i'll give it an 7.7/10

Following on several years after 'Mask', Alejandro and Elena are going through a bit of a relationship tiff, with Elena feeling that Zorro is taking away from proper family time, primarily in being there for their son, Joaquin. The timing could not be worse as a slimy foreign count is on the scene, wooing Elena, Pinkertons are snooping around, and a deadly new weapon that could turn the tide of the Civil War (ten years earlier here) is being tested nearby.Though it still boasts big stunts and tongue-in-cheek jabs at the mythos, 'Legend' swaps matinée charm for grating spousal comedy. A huge part of this, I feel, is down to a change in writers. Instead of Ted Elliot & Terry Rossio, who have built their careers on that kind of balancing act, we get the second screenplay by Hollywood's premiere love-hate duo, Orci & Kurtzmann. Beyond the numerous and headscratching historical errors, including a Confederate movement 10 years pre-Civil War, their trademark obnoxious humour is here, incarnate in the form of an almost childish matrimonial dispute between Alejandro and Elena, that doesn't mesh well with the derring-do.One minute, we have fun, well directed action and some decent carry overs of the whole 'man and mask' motif from the first film, the next, Alejandro is utterly drunk and Elena whines. It gets old really fast. Add to that a rehashed score by James Horner that adds little new flair, and you have something that feels deflated and uninspired.A shame, as the players are still great in their roles, Banderas and Zeta-Jones as fiery as ever together, while Sewell chews scenery as the villainous fop. Even Adrian Alonso as Joaquin is not a half bad child actor, and seeing him play Zorro and duel a teacher is perhaps one of the few funny gags in the film. And well, despite the lax script, Campbell still does a top notch job directing, with dynamic set pieces (such as the opening chase and final train battle), tight editing and beautiful Californian vistas. However, you can't polish average, which is what this is.

It's the year 1850, and California is about to join 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.

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 passion, 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!
