The Legend of ZorroDirector: Martin Campbell
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rufus Sewell, Adrian Alonso, Michael Emerson, Shuler Hensley, Alberto Reyes
I kinda wish I could watch The Mask of Zorro before watching this one, it's sequel. But the rules say alphabetical, so who am I to argue?
Anyway, having seen both movies several times, there was no problem watching them backwards -- or several weeks apart. Here, Zorro and family are 10 years in and there's trouble brewing in his marriage. Zeta-Jones divorces him, he barely knows his little boy, and the new step-dad prospect is also the bad guy. Dun dun DUN!
So, Antonio Banderas reprises his very fun interpretation of the masked avenger and makes this one just as enjoyable as the first time around. Sure, it's no black-and-white TV show, but the integrity, the sword-fighting, and the charm of this iconic character are well preserved and very much alive. Lots of fun to watch :)
PS - I just hit 400 movies!!!!!!!!!!!!1
