Purely Joyful Movie!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Despite trying to keep his swashbuckling to a minimum, a threat to California's pending statehood causes the adventure-loving Alejandro de la Vega (Banderas) -- and his wife, Elena (Zeta-Jones) -- to take action. Although The Legend of Zorro is nowhere near as epic and amazing as the previous and far superior Mask of Zorro was it's still a pretty good film with the 3rd act being the best part of the film. Although it's once again directed by Martin Campbell and Banderas and Jones return to their roles once more the film just doesn't have that magic and energy that the first film had maybe it was Hopkins or just the right time which was the 90's but something makes the first film really good and although this one isn't that bad they get a bit over the top with the humor in this one but i gotta say the adventure and the action sequences were really good and Adrian Alonso as Joaquin De La Vega was really good the problem wasn't the actors it was just that this is another sequel that didn't live up at the hype that was maybe surrounded from but if you watch it on it's own without comparing it to the original film it's actually a pretty good movie and i'll give it an 7.7/10

The Legend of Zorro is a sequel to The Mask of Zorro and it is directed by Martin Campbell. Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones reprise their roles as the titular hero and his spouse, Eléna, and Rufus Sewell stars as the villain, Count Armand.It's 1850. Don Alejandro de la Vega has become aware of a plot by moneyed Europeans to block the campaign for statehood through nefarious means, and it looks as if Alejandro's heroic alter ego, Zorro, may have to return to duty. However, Alejandro's wife, Elena, has grown weary of his secret life, and she demands that he choose between his family and his clandestine career as a champion of the people. This leads to a rift between Alejandro and Elena, and the couple separates, with Alejandro moving out while Elena continues to care for their son, Joaquin. A few months later, Alejandro finds that Elena is already being wooed by Armand, a suave French nobleman who wants her hand in marriage. However, Alejandro also learns that Armand is actually part of a plot to prevent California from attaining statehood by tampering with an upcoming election; meanwhile, there may be more to Elena's involvement with Armand than romantic courtship. Zorro must come to the rescue of the people of California and perhaps his beloved Elena as well before they both fall into dangerous hands.The Legend of Zorro is a campier sequel, occasionally given too much to childish antics. But once the story really kicks in, it transforms into a fine adventure film and a worthy addition to the Zorro film legacy considering its CG-effects to replicate crowds and buildings, the fake scenery, the flimsy plot and the cheap dialogue all spell a budget- conscious production as well as Catherine Zeta Jones' eminent allure and Antonio Banderas' leading man charm.But overall,this is a lesser film compared to the first Zorro film.

I rated the mask of zorro10/10 and this sequel 7/10Note: if you haven't seen the first one ,don't watch this one because you won't get why so many people loved the the mask of Zorro so much.It's sad how a mediocre sequel can ruin a great movie.What I liked about the legend of Zorro Watching Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas together again as a couple and it has some entrtetaning moments, like the Polo scene and their kiss when they get back together again after their divorce What I didn't like about this sequel The PG rating. It felt like a kids movie, meanwhile the mask of Zorro was really for the whole family.

I don't know why some people disliked the film? Even saw one person who voted * on this amazingly great film. I totally LOVED it! The action as truly fascinating. How Zorro jumped and fought blended a lot with the action! Very much like Star Wars! The film really makes you feel like part of the action! And the boy I'd call him Little Zorro because he fights just like his father, is excellent. Very talented all of the family including his (as always) beautiful wife. My favorite scene is when Little Zorro rode the steed with ability and a lot of passion, and saved the day! Elena is great and much better then Zorro, because she is a woman and supposed to be the fragile sex, but she impresses with her talented fights! She is also very good at being a spy when she hides her identity, but as usual the bad guy finds out!
