Old-fashioned entertainment of the best sort.

A very competent actioner, even when it dwells on overly intricate (or convenient) setups for poignant encounters or showdowns.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 24, 2021

This Zorro bears more in common with his distant grandson Indiana Jones than he does with his more direct descendant, Batman.

| Original Score: A- | Oct 29, 2008

Crisp and competent and often witty, but it only does what it's supposed to do; it's never quite inspired or exhilarating...

Directed with snap and panache by Martin Campbell, Mask of Zorro gives audiences a pair of dashing whippersnappers for the price of one.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 14, 2006

Not so much a blood-pounding swashbuckling adventure as it is a comfortable old friend--the kind of movie your grandfather might have seen at a Saturday matinee.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Buckling the swash in a way approaching Errol Flynn, Antonio is up for the action and handles the slapstick as the inept student with aplomb. The romance between him and Zeta-Jones has sparks, too.
