A swashbuckler that works on its own terms. A little overlong in the middle act, though. The action's good, but it seems to be the lighthearted swashbuckling kind as opposed to the usual blood, viscerallity, and high body count. Rich people seem to be a common choice of villain in recent movies of late.

Catherine Zeta-Jones has never looked better!
Ray J. gave it a 10:
A great movie!!! It has all that a crowd needs...a romantic plot, a slight touch of comedy, a great deal of tragedy, and most important of all a lot of action!!!!
Abigail W. gave it a 10:
I think this is a great movie!
Pat C. gave it a 4:
Traditional slick button-pusher of a swashbuckler with star power and all the other Hollywood devices both old and new. Although it touches on an estranged child and parent subconsciously seeking to resolve their lost association, as a matinee serial gone full length it's not really convincing as about anything deep or important. The nameless faceless peons Zorro champions remain anonymous and expendable. OK for what it attempts to do, which is nothing new or memorable.
Sean R. gave it a 10:
It's beautiful, with lots of action!!!
