J. R. Jones Chicago Reader There’s also a secret plot involving awesome explosives, but you couldn’t manufacture a bigger bomb than this. Jun 28, 2022 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com That opening, alas, is the only time The Legend of Zorro hits, and keeps, its stride. Campbell moves the picture in fits and starts, elongating scenes we'd rather see cut short and ending others before they even have a chance to develop. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 10, 2005 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy The presence of Anthony Hopkins is sorely missed, but Banderas and Zeta-Jones remain a sexy and spirited screen couple. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Lacking the spark, spunk and sexiness of Mask, Legend is a laboured and listless follow-up. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins This faithful sequel's major fault just might be that it's so similar to its predecessor that it fails to stand out; but as it's transpiring, it's quite enjoyable.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/23 Full Review Jace E Such a disappointment. As a fan of The Mask of Zorro, I was expecting the same level of thrill and intrigue. Unfortunately, The Legend of Zorro felt like a watered-down version of its predecessor. I do not know if it was because the studio was aiming for a PG rating or something more family-friendly, but the result was too cartoonish and cheap. The dialogue was overacted, performances were overdramatic and most of the scenes could have been picked out of a daily soap opera. The addition of the child was unnecessary, annoying, and distracted from the other characters. Ultimately, there was nothing special about The Legend of Zorro, which is disappointing because of the greatness of the first film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/17/23 Full Review Unknown U The Legend Of Zorro is a movie that is a lot better than it's predecessor with a darker tone that can waver but it is enjoyable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Let's keep in mind this is PG, so park your pretentious anlysis elsewhere. That being said, not a fan of the couple squabble between Zorro and spouse. This vehicle is not as intriguing as that of the first film. Serviceable but nothing to write home about Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
