When a power-crazed despot schemes to buy California from Mexico, it takes two Zorros - the legendary Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) and his chosen successor Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas), a dashing bandit-turned-hero - to defeat the tyrant's unscrupulous plans. But can even their combined skills, bravado and derring-do be enough to achieve de la Vega's ultimate goal: revenge against the man who killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter and held him prisoner for twenty years?

Great fun with an excellent cast. The mentoring Anthony Hopkins, the stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones and the great Antonio Banderas, who is incredibly likable as Zorro. The first half with the training is excellently made and funny. Also the pretending and pretentious Alejandro is absolutely perfect. The finale in the Mexican mine is bombastic and full of suspense. An adventure movie just as I like them. Bring ‘em on.

Fun for the whole family, excellently cast and scored, traditionally lively and atmospheric. Banderas is likable in every way and the semi-comedic role suits him perfectly, Hopkins is the certainty of all certainties and on top of that the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones, who should wear a gun belt for her beauty. In addition, the script delights with the use of an original setting, although as the minutes ticked by and with each successive stunt, I found myself wandering more and more when Old Shatterhand would appear on set and dust Zorro with his unerring aim.... Well, fortunately (or unfortunately?) it didn't happen ;) 80%

This average film about the legendary hero in black has a bland plot, but also a stellar and likeable cast. Even though it's kind of clear from the beginning how it's probably going to turn out, I still really enjoyed the final twenty minutes. In short, within the limits and genre, this is a slightly above average film that doesn't lack action, suspense, romance and also a lot of clichés.

I give it three stars only for the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones and her funny sword fight with Zorro. The rest is a constantly piling up of clichés that I don’t like at all.

Dynamic direction, an action-packed story, devilishly fast pace, beautiful old-fashioned atmosphere, excellent costumes and sets, incredibly well-shot fights and action scenes, superbly mixed sound, graceful camera work, evocative and atmospheric music by James Horner, beautiful romance, mature appearance, lightning-fast editing, a charismatic Antonio Banderas, an uncompromising antagonist in Stuart Wilson, the embodiment of beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones, and on top of that, the great Anthony Hopkins himself, whom I happen to admire the most. Should I continue? It is precisely that stunning Hollywood entertainment of the 1990s that has forever grown close to my heart.
