Amazon.com The Zorro brand of hot-blooded derring-do returns with The Legend of Zorro, starring Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the roles that brought them stardom with The Mask of Zorro. Now married for ten years and parents to young rascal Joaquim (charming Adrian Alonso, perhaps being set up for a future Son of Zorro), dashing swordsman Alejandro (Banderas, a Spaniard playing a Mexican) and sultry spitfire Elena De La Vega (Zeta-Jones, a Welshwoman playing a Spaniard) abruptly divorce, sending Alejandro on a drunken binge--which only gets worse when he learns Elena is being wooed by the mysterious Armand (Rufus Sewell, a Brit playing a Frenchman). Little does Alejandro know that Elena has ulterior motives, and that a worldwide conspiracy and a secret weapon will soon threaten the integrity of the U.S. The Legend of Zorro has way too much plot, leaving room for only two genuinely preposterous donnybrooks and a handful of lackluster brawls. Banderas and Zeta-Jones flash a bit of their considerable charisma, but by and large they (and the movie as a whole) are on autopilot. Not awful, but lacking any real spark. --Bret Fetzer

WOW. What a disappointment May 7, 2009 D. Reid Smith (East TN) If you liked the first one (The Mask of Zorro, and I did), you will most likely NOT like this one. It is made for 6-olds. Anyone older will be groaning and holding his head throughout. I will not repeat all the one-star reviews, since they covered it, and I agree with them.
The Legend of Zorro March 13, 2009 Naftej (Northern NJ) I've always been a fan of Zorro adventures. This version was no exception. I owned the movie in DVD format but wanted to see how it viewed in Blu-Ray format. In a word - fantastic. Great picture, very crisp and the sound stage is magnificent. If you are a Zorro or adventure genre fan, you'll enjoy this movie. Be sure you own all the A/V gear required to obtain the full impact of the film.

My Mother wanted this so I got for her and she enjoys it so much. Who wouldnt with Antonio Banderas!!!
GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! January 28, 2009 I. Santos (Florida USA) Better then the first one. Great character development. Funny, exciting adventure, romance, it has it all. Highly recommend it
Not Bad !!! November 11, 2008 Anthony Hartt (Detroit Mi USA) You need to see part 1(The Mask of Zorro) first, not that it is a must but just to understand a few minor details. Not as good as the ist but a fair movie nonetheless...
