Consensus: Banderas returns as an aging Zorro in this surprisingly nimble, entertaining swashbuckler.

Runtime: 2 hrs 18 mins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Synopsis: Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) recruits Alejandro Murieta (Antonio Banderas) to become his replacement as Zorro, the legendary hero. Together, they infiltrate the circle of Don Raphael -... Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) recruits Alejandro Murieta (Antonio Banderas) to become his replacement as Zorro, the legendary hero. Together, they infiltrate the circle of Don Raphael - the fiercest of the Spanish tyrants. Armed with his mask, sword, whip and jet-black stallion, Tornado, the new Zorro embarks on a mission to stop Don Raphael's plot to buy California, set right 20 years of wrongs, bring justice to the people ensnared by Spanish greed, and win the heart of Don Diego's daughter, Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones in a star-making performance). THE MASK OF ZORRO is an old-fashioned swashbuckler with plenty of modern sizzle thanks to the casting of Banderas and then-newcomer Zeta-Jones. [More]

It's self-consciously stylized and unapologetically escapist, but a fun film as a result.
