Mexiko, 1821. Die Nacht der Revolution wird für Don Diego de la Vega zum Verhängnis. Der grausame Diktator Montero lässt den als Zorro bekannten Volkshelden in den Kerker werfen und dessen Frau töten. Zwei Jahrzehnte später gelingt dem Adeligen die Flucht. In dem ungestümen Straßenräuber Alejandro Murrieta findet er seinen würdigen Nachfolger. Hinter der Maske des Zorro soll dieser nun mit scharfer Klinge Rache nehmen. Da bringt Montero Don Diegos bezaubernde Tochter Elena in seine Gewalt. (ORF)

I give it three stars only for the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones and her funny sword fight with Zorro. The rest is a constantly piling up of clichés that I don’t like at all.

I love the scene where the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones "fights" Zorro. And I love the music of this movie.

Great fun with an excellent cast. The mentoring Anthony Hopkins, the stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones and the great Antonio Banderas, who is incredibly likable as Zorro. The first half with the training is excellently made and funny. Also the pretending and pretentious Alejandro is absolutely perfect. The finale in the Mexican mine is bombastic and full of suspense. An adventure movie just as I like them. Bring ‘em on.

Dynamic direction, an action-packed story, devilishly fast pace, beautiful old-fashioned atmosphere, excellent costumes and sets, incredibly well-shot fights and action scenes, superbly mixed sound, graceful camera work, evocative and atmospheric music by James Horner, beautiful romance, mature appearance, lightning-fast editing, a charismatic Antonio Banderas, an uncompromising antagonist in Stuart Wilson, the embodiment of beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones, and on top of that, the great Anthony Hopkins himself, whom I happen to admire the most. Should I continue? It is precisely that stunning Hollywood entertainment of the 1990s that has forever grown close to my heart.

Fun for the whole family, excellently cast and scored, traditionally lively and atmospheric. Banderas is likable in every way and the semi-comedic role suits him perfectly, Hopkins is the certainty of all certainties and on top of that the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones, who should wear a gun belt for her beauty. In addition, the script delights with the use of an original setting, although as the minutes ticked by and with each successive stunt, I found myself wandering more and more when Old Shatterhand would appear on set and dust Zorro with his unerring aim.... Well, fortunately (or unfortunately?) it didn't happen ;) 80%
