A different way of telling a story

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

When I was a kid back in the days it was good today is more like nostalgia movie.

Applying many of the tricks they would use later for 'Pirates of the Caribbean' writers Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio combine with 'Goldeneye' director, Martin Campbell to bring the legendary hero Zorro to the big screen.It's an entertaining film, with lots of good moments. Antonio Banderas is good fun as Zorro, while I liked the dynamic he had with Anthony Hopkins's character too.It's perhaps a bit overlong, but on the whole this was a good attempt to bring the hero to life for a modern audience.

If "The Mask of Zorro" has any deficiencies, they certainly aren't in the charm department. This movie's got charisma out the yin-yang, and not just with Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas (perfect casting here) but also in the action; exciting swordfights, wicked double entendre and endearing heroism. I haven't seen this in a good 15 years and it holds up admirably. Swashbuckling movies don't come down the pike often, and it's nice when they're done so well. And even if it didn't succeed on the entertainment front, it still has a formidable secret weapon: the absurdly stunning Catherine Zeta Jones. My, god she's something else.7/10
