Critic Reviews

Stephanie Zacharek

The picture is almost shamefully entertaining, bold and self-effacing at once: Its intelligence reveals itself as a devilish gleam, not a pompous layer of shellac. Why can't more Hollywood movies be like this one? Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

Banderas uses all his old wiles in this well-oiled, businesslike, quite clangingly violent sequel to "The Mask of Zorro." Read full review

Premiere Ryan Devlin

The family dynamic, paired with a few delicious action scenes, is engaging enough that we hardly notice the fillm's major flaw, a rather flimsy and sometimes jingoistic subplot having to do with California's independence. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

There'll likely be more Z's in the audience than on the screen. Read full review

Stephen Holden

This is a hiss-the-villain, cheer-the-hero kind of movie. Read full review

Marc Mohan

Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are back, as is director Martin Campbell, but the result has the all-too-common feel of an expired equine redundantly abused. Read full review

Marc Savlov

There are precious few things for a Zorro fan – or a film fan, for that matter – not to loathe about The Legend of Zorro. Read full review

I loved this movie. I felt a bond with Zorro when I saw 1998's Mask, and this strengthened it. I loved little Adrian Alonso (Joaquin), he was adorable! Antonio and Catherine were stunning as always, and Sewell made a very good villain. He had the charm to keep your attention at the I loved this movie.

Antonio and Catherine were stunning as always, and Sewell made a very good villain. He had the charm to keep your attention at the same time you knew he was up to something. If he were in a different role, I'd go on about him, but I'll stick with saying I liked his eyes. I did, however, question (after seeing the film) why it wasn't also rated PG13. With all the crazy action stunts and even the child swearing (so what if it was Spanish? I understood it w/o subtitles) I expected it to get a higher rating. All in all though, I loved it and can't wait till it is released on DVD.… Expand

The critics' reviews are generally accurate. It has plenty of action, but, I guess you could say that the movie just isn't as sexy and fun as the first one was.

The Legend doesn't compare to The Mask, but is still a great Zorro movie that takes this great story beyond boundaries. What it lacks in acting and writing, it makes up for in story.

What a let down to the first, I really enjoyed the first one quite a bit but I think the second sort of lost it's charm. Also, the movie's got so much going on it's hard to keep up. The only things I enjoyed about this would have to be the sword fights and the train scene that's about it butWhat a let down to the first, I really enjoyed the first one quite a bit but I think the second sort of lost it's charm.
