80A lively, old-fashioned adventure yarn with just a twist of modern attitude, it's the kind of pleasant entertainment that allows the paying customers to have as much fun as the people on screen.
-
80This is hot-weather escapism so earnestly retrograde that it seems new.
-
80This spirited rerun, neatly mixing parody and panache, squeezes a surprising amount of fun out of the old war horse.
-
80The return of the legendary swordsman is well served by a grandly mounted production in the classical style.
-
75The film is a display of traditional movie craftsmanship, especially at the level of the screenplay, which respects the characters and story and doesn't simply use them for dialogue breaks between action sequences.
-
75Proudly old-fashioned in every way except the often excessive violence that director Martin Campbell splashes across the screen.
-
75A great deal of excitement and adventure, all brought to the screen by using a somewhat irreverent tone that keeps the mood light without trivializing the characters.
-
75The return to an Errol Flynn-style hero, who can swing from chandeliers, fight with two swords at once and ride a horse backward, recalls a movie era both sexier and more innocent.
-
This pleasant movie anachronism, an assemblage of traditional Robin Hooded scenarios (and superior swordplay) that, in the right light, is a nostalgic treat, and in shadow evokes Monty Python.
-
70Old-fashioned fun that goes down as smoothly as a vintage cocktail.
-
70A screenplay that not only has a way with genre cliché, but manages to score some deviously witty political points
-
70The Mask Of Zorro is disarming for the same reasons, coasting on the charisma of its stars and a few exciting action setpieces.
-
67A pleasantly vicarious slice of summertime falderol, innocuous in its presentation and often genuinely fun.
-
Director Martin Campbell's lumpy direction doesn't coalesce into anything much beyond a pleasant assembly of set pieces.
-
50Lavishly produced swashbuckler that should have been far more entertaining.
-
50Spectacular, fast, never boring. But it's also one of the more disappointing movies I've seen recently.
-
50Entertaining, but it's about one notch below being something anybody really needs to see.
-
A slew of writers and an enthusiastic cast all do their jobs admirably enough to provide a couple of hours of unembarrassing entertainment.
-
50Nothing really works on any level above mediocrity.
-
Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas work with professional skill in a ludicrous vehicle.
-
50Antonio Banderas signs up for charisma lessons from Anthony Hopkins -- but they just don't take.
-
A romantic adventure-movie slapstick that's too screwy for the action crowd and too old-fashioned for the Home Alone contingent.
