The Legend of Zorro movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: In this busy sequel to 1998's The Mask of Zorro, Antonio Banderas looks a little older, Catherine Zeta-Jones snares a bigger role, and the powerful charms of both are weighed down by an absurdly plot-heavy script. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: What happened to the fluidity and snap of the earlier film? Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: The passionless string of the hoariest cliches is burnished with the phony luster of an I Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercial, and its plot seems to have been amalgamated by a computer program. Read more
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. Read more
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. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: In every imaginable way, this is a lesser film than the original. Read more
Phil Kloer, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: We need more adventure flicks that play like grown-up movies and can still be enjoyed by kids, like this one. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: The Legend of Zorro is not only a generic actioner, it's a perfect example of a movie with two leads interested only in the number of zeros on their paychecks. Read more
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. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Despite its drawbacks, Zorro is acceptable in a pinch though not without its puzzling elements. Read more
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. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Here, even Banderas sounds like he's having a hard time sounding authentic. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: A couple of fancy fight sequences allow the stars, and their stunt doubles, to demonstrate how dashing they still look with swords in hand. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: A dandy-looking adventure flick that embraces all demographics with only a few missteps could lure the public back to the 'plexes. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: Possibly the least-necessary attempt at franchise building since Another Stakeout. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: The Legend of Zorro is louder, brasher and kitschier than its predecessor. It's closer in spirit to the Sunday-funnies cacophony of the Spy Kids movies, offering some of those movies' goofy pleasures. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: More a parody than a sequel, Martin Campbell's The Legend of Zorro reunites the director with the stars of 1998's The Mask of Zorro for two hours of ludicrous action, forced humor and self-conscious romance. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: No, the tongues aren't quite as firmly in cheek, the one-liners aren't as crisp, and the action flags more times than it should. But this Zorro does nothing to tarnish the Legend. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The production is suffused by an almost desperate attempt to recapture the mood of its predecessor, but the tone is forced rather than natural, and the resultant production is bloated, contrived, and not very entertaining. Read more
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. Read more
Colin Covert, 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. Read more
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. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: The CG-effects to replicate crowds and buildings, the fake scenery, the flimsy plot and the cheap dialogue all spell a budget-conscious production. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Though there's worse entertainment around, there may be more people rabid for the return of Prohibition than for a Zorro sequel seven years after the fact. Read more
Matt Singer, Village Voice: It's Zorro, the domesticated blade! Read more
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post: Proudly flourishing the Z that stands for zonked, The Legend of Zero -- er, Zorro - - is dumb like a lox. Read more
