The Mask of Zorro
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Anthony Hopkins Directed by: Martin Campbell Rated PG-13 Genre: Action/Adventure Synopsis: Zorro has not been seen in a decade, and the tyrannical government of Mexican controlled California has its citizens begging for the return of the masked hero. My Thoughts: Everything just clicked in this movie. This was by far one of the better movies to come out of Hollywood in 1998 (the same year as Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in Love). Scorecard Acting- Zeta-Jones was at her finest in this film, easily. Banderas was a joy as the down on his luck theif that turns his life around, and Anthony Hopkins was GOLD as the original Zorro teaching the new Zorro all his tricks. These actors really had good chemistry together. (1) Direction- While there were a few questionable parts, for the most part, this movie flowed very well and had very few down times. (1) Story- This story was written very well. The characters were very likeable and the action was perfectly spaced apart. (1) Expectations- This movie met all expectations I had for it. It didn't surpass them though. (1/2) Boring?- This movie has a running time of almost 140 minutes. So there has to be some boring times, I was expecting there to be, but sadly, there were a few too many boring parts to give this film a full star. (1/2) Final Score: 4 out of 5 Final Thoughts: This movie was very well done. There are a few parts that have you rolling your eyes, but the movie is still very fun to watch, it tells a great story and the acting was great. What more can you really ask for a movie? If you have yet to see this movie, I highly recommend that you see this movie at least once in your life.
