The Legend of Zorro Movie Review 2005

Noisy sequel to "The Mask of Zorro" finds Banderas returning as our swashbuckling masked hero, along with Zeta-Jones as his equally hot-blooded spouse, Elena. They are now the parents of impetuous 10-year-old Joaquin (Alonso), but the marriage has enough cracks that Elena kicks Zorro out on his cape. There's also a couple of bad guys--sneering aristocrat Armand (Sewell) and scurvy McGivens (Chinlund)--and a plot that has to do with California becoming part of the United States. The leads are having a lot of fun and there's enough ridiculous action to make the pic speed by.
