7/10
light, but in today's movie climate, entertaining
3 November 2005
I actually got to see this movie a month ago at the sneak preview in Denver. I got there relatively late so I sat very close to the screen. Now that my eyes have stopped bleeding... Nice little flick. Not too serious, nowhere near any historical accuracy, but a lot of fun. Especially for kids from 10-16. Antonio Banderas has a great sense of timing for comedy, and Catherine Zeta Jones was gorgeous as usual without any real depth in her part. She did get to have some nice action scenes, however. The biggest surprise and bonus was the young actor who portrayed Zorro's son. Adrian Alonso was fantastic. This actor will do well and I certainly hope he gets some good parts down the road. Overall, again, light, not very powerful. A great family movie with some fun action and good scenery(Zeta-Jones). Probably the best thing to see until Harry Potter comes out.
