    It's more kid-friendly than the first one, but, enjoyable for everyone.Banderas & Zeta-Jones still have that passionate chemistry.
  • May 31, 2009
    Catherine Zeta Jones looks so right in these period costumes and this is certainly a part of the film that worked well. There are some comical moments throughout the film (albeit some very corny moments) but unfortunately this seqel amounted to very little as at almost 2 hours lo...( read more)ng, it was a real struggle not to turn this off most of the way through. Finally a plus point was the young little Actor Adrian Alonso, who played the role of their son, adorable and talented.

    Enjoyable, but not special at all. Doesn't live up to the original.
  • June 14, 2008
    Who cares about Zorro? Boring movie.
  • March 14, 2008
    It lacks the storytelling luster or verve of the original. It is a lot more cheesy and a lot less fun.
  • November 8, 2009
    The legend of Zorro has almost nothing new to offer other than the routine gags, silly sword fights and stupid villains.
  • November 6, 2009
    utterly irresistible
  • November 5, 2009
    The mask so cunning and free!
  • November 4, 2009

Critic Reviews


October 28, 2005
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

The Legend of Zorro spirals into a convoluted series of incidents, bordering on the impenetrable until they're finally revealed as nonsensical. full review

October 28, 2005
David Edelstein, Slate

Zorro is misnamed, since it's less about the legend than what happens when the legend goes home and gets yelled at by his wife. full review

October 28, 2005
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

Campbell's film has moments that capture this sensuality and stealth, but it's noisier and longer than it should be. full review

October 28, 2005
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Now comes the long-deferred The Legend of Zorro, which, to put it bluntly, is a big bloated bore-o. full review

October 28, 2005
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The stars and director are back but the thrill is gone, replaced by a muttonheaded script and slapstick comedy that starts in hectic mode and quickly strips its gears. full review

October 27, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Legend of Zorro commits a lot of movie sins, but one is mortal: It turns the magnificent Elena into a nag. full review

October 27, 2005
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The new Zorro is one of the rare films that aim to thrill us while lampooning the adventure genre, and hit both bull's-eyes simultaneously. full review
