Mask of Zorro review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 04/21/13
Felt like the vintage swashbuckler films of old Hollywood. The story revolves around Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), long lost daughter Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and protege Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas). The choreography, costumes and score just fantastic. The horse ride/chase sequence and Zorro one on one with Elena were one of the may action highlights were seeing. Unfortunately, the antagonists were not as convincing and menacing enough. Though Hopkins is a treat to watch as always, his nationality seems to not be a match for the Zorro franchise. Some humor felt amateurish though some works. Nevertheless, Mask of Zorro was entertaining despite its minor misgivings which could be overlooked by the spectacular action and earnest onscreen chemistry of Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
