Great Film overall

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I still remember going to see the first Zorro movie with Antonio Banderas at the cinema. I remember how much I hated it then: all I brought away with me was the image of an irritatingly theatrical Anthony Hopkins in mucho eye makeup. I knew this sequel would be equally as bad, which is why I hadn't watched it until now; I had no idea it would be even worse.Everything about THE LEGEND OF ZORRO screams safe, over-stylised Hollywood film-making. The film adheres to a strict comedy adventure template throughout, with plenty of CGI-enhanced action scenes that never offer anything in the way of real danger or excitement. Instead, these awful fights are like the ones in XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, designed to fill space rather than say or do anything impressive.A slumming-it Banderas is on poor form here, lacking the smouldering charisma that made him the go-to Latino guy in 1990s cinema. Catherine Zeta Jones is an awful ham and her attempts at fighting are cringe-makingly embarrassing. I felt sorry for Rufus Sewell, the one good actor, stuck in his one-dimensional villain role. The inclusion of a child (Zorro's kid) in the cast is an even worse idea, turning this into a rubbishy MUMMY rip-off with dumb humour throughout. If you like watching nonsensical plots taking place in a make-believe sanitised world then by all means watch THE LEGEND OF ZORRO; if you have any taste as a movie-goer, then I'd recommend avoiding it. At all costs.

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 passionate 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.

The Legend of Zorro is a sequel to The Mask of Zorro and it is directed by Martin Campbell. Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones reprise their roles as the titular hero and his spouse, Eléna, and Rufus Sewell stars as the villain, Count Armand.It's 1850. Don Alejandro de la Vega has become aware of a plot by moneyed Europeans to block the campaign for statehood through nefarious means, and it looks as if Alejandro's heroic alter ego, Zorro, may have to return to duty. However, Alejandro's wife, Elena, has grown weary of his secret life, and she demands that he choose between his family and his clandestine career as a champion of the people. This leads to a rift between Alejandro and Elena, and the couple separates, with Alejandro moving out while Elena continues to care for their son, Joaquin. A few months later, Alejandro finds that Elena is already being wooed by Armand, a suave French nobleman who wants her hand in marriage. However, Alejandro also learns that Armand is actually part of a plot to prevent California from attaining statehood by tampering with an upcoming election; meanwhile, there may be more to Elena's involvement with Armand than romantic courtship. Zorro must come to the rescue of the people of California and perhaps his beloved Elena as well before they both fall into dangerous hands.The Legend of Zorro is a campier sequel, occasionally given too much to childish antics. But once the story really kicks in, it transforms into a fine adventure film and a worthy addition to the Zorro film legacy considering its CG-effects to replicate crowds and buildings, the fake scenery, the flimsy plot and the cheap dialogue all spell a budget- conscious production as well as Catherine Zeta Jones' eminent allure and Antonio Banderas' leading man charm.But overall,this is a lesser film compared to the first Zorro film.

I didn't have high hopes for this one after being severely disappointed by the 1st,but much to my surprise it managed to be quite watchable and fairly entertaining as well. It's more action orientated and while Mask Of Zorro was better made technically,I actually found The Legend Of Zorro to be a little more entertaining. This is Antonio Banderas's film and this time he thrives on the challenge,giving all of Zorro the key components he needs to be an entertaining hero,and I really think the film benefited from this. The Script does have a few minor holes..example Catharine said in the 1st she didn't care about money,yet this time she does??..it makes her character look completely pompous. The film does have a main problem though and that's Rufus Sewell. He's much too bland for a villain,and the worst thing is he does it all completely straight,so the film really sags whenever he's on screen,not to mention all the bickering between Catharine and Banders does get old after a while. The better pacing,better action sequences and overall enjoyment made me appreciate this sequel more even if the 1st was better made.The Performances. Antonio Banderas unlike the 1st he is fabulous here!. His character is much more refined now with the acting chops and a true sense of Heroisim to be the perfect Zorro.He never completely convinced me in the 1st movie,he was always charming but he never felt like an action hero,it's a much different story here.He is the heart of the film and Antonio thrives on it,the only beef I have is his chemistry with Catharine seems forced. Catherine Zeta-Jones is OK here. She just seems to be going through the motions, with an irritating character to boot. Her charisma with Anotonio is off,however it's not all her fault due to some of the script's inadequacies of her character. Adrian Alonso is a lot better then most kid actor's and pulls out a few fun scenes,but most of the time he acts with his scowl. Rufus Sewell is devoid of any charm what so ever,he's completely bland and charm free,the movie dragged when he was on screen and brought the overall quality of the movie down. Nick Chinlund is a very good character actor,here he played a very amusing henchman..loved him!. Julio Oscar Mechoso is the comic relief,but a very likable one at that,a priest surprisingly too.Bottom Line-I rather enjoyed it,it's about on par technically with the 1st,but more enjoyable if you ask me. I was quite pleased with how this sequel progressed,and unfortunately due to the box office failure this film was,I don't think will see a number 3 anytime soon. Worth the watch.6/10
