THE MASK OF ZORRO was a great movie. It mixed good action with great acting and story. This sequel is entertaining, and the action is certainly rousing, but it lacks the engaging character development and story of the original. Violence is the biggest issue. Most is non-graphic, but there is quite a bit of killing. The overall tone of the battles is more comic than that of the first, but it is still violent. There are a couple of suggestive scenes, but there is no language. The issue of Alejandro's alcoholism is shown and discussed. Kids who have seen the first will most likely want to see this, but for most adults it's one to skip.

A Fun Movie
This was a fun movie...lots of action, lots of humor, lots of emontion. We loved it...not as much as the first, but a very close second.

Save your money
Save your money and if you must, wait for the video. This was the biggest waist of time and money I have ever experienced. The plot gets confusing: too much action, too much editing and not enough care about basic details. I was so bored that I found myself critiqueing Katherine Zeta Jones' hair and makeup. I was surprised to see spidery hairs escaping her "do" and detract from that gorgious face of hers. The original was so much better!

Zorro has much lasting appeal.
I think the character of Zorro (Antonio Banderas) is well played, if not appealing. Girls can be charmed by him (example: my mother) and boys will love the action.

It was OK-pretty good
It was a pretty good show. Some of the humour was kinda lame. But I liked it
