Pluskylang Great Film overall

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

blrnani ... because it goes for too many weak gags, but still fun entertainment. CZJ is as stunning as ever, as well as a kick-ass heroine in her own right, and Rufus Sewell makes a fairly convincing villain (tho' I prefer him in his positive leading roles), while Adrián Alonso is very cute. Unfortunately, Antônio Banderas and, particularly, his horse, are the roles where the film overdoes the silly gags. And that doesn't sit well with the tragic bits.

Kiril Trichkov I sat through most of the movie feeling terrible. I knew that if I quit (and I really wanted to stop watching after 30-40 minutes!), my memories of The Mask of Zorro would be somewhat ruined by this truly terrible sequel. So I sat there, hoping it would get better. It barely did.The first half of the movie is a bad joke. Zorro is no longer a hero, but a stupid drunkard. His wife is an annoyance. Some of the fights are visibly overdone and thus not nearly as exciting as in the previous movie. The whole "Yay! We're gonna become part of the United States! We're gonna be free, and Americans, and free, and everything's gonna be awesome, and we'll be free!" setting is insulting in itself. We're never told what they're gonna be free of, or free to do.Many scenes involving Zorro and Tornado fall flat. Don Luiz's new calling as a teacher doesn't fit him. Zorro's child not knowing about his father's exploits is baffling. Divorced Zorro's drunken (and otherwise) jealousy scenes achieve nothing beyond making me feel uncomfortable. The western-style shoot-out is out of place. So is the whole espionage and conspiracy subplot.The only thing I'm not annoyed with is the fanatically religious racist prick of a villain/henchman. He's just average.It feels like things improve slightly in the later parts, or it could just be my expectations going through the floor. Most likely it's the fact Zorro stops being drunk. Regardless, I'm not going to spoil anything further. Just in case there are people out there who will enjoy this.Overall, it's like the creators wanted to put everything possible into a 2-hour movie. It's part comedy, part action, part soap opera, part western, part spy story, part mystery, part whatever-the-first-movie-was, part immature belch jokes. As can be expected, it doesn't work. It's a mess, made worse by the fact it's the sequel to a very good film. I highly recommend avoiding this if you have good memories of The Mask of Zorro. Don't spoil them like I did!

sarizonana I rated the mask of zorro10/10 and this sequel 7/10Note: if you haven't seen the first one ,don't watch this one because you won't get why so many people loved the the mask of Zorro so much.It's sad how a mediocre sequel can ruin a great movie.What I liked about the legend of Zorro Watching Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas together again as a couple and it has some entrtetaning moments, like the Polo scene and their kiss when they get back together again after their divorce What I didn't like about this sequel The PG rating. It felt like a kids movie, meanwhile the mask of Zorro was really for the whole family.

Tina_V We watched with my 7-year-old daughter who didn't know any Zorro stories, and was not expecting to see right at the beginning the death of a farmer, one of the goodies, which was unnecessary. She cried uncontrollably for a long time, and we had to stop it there and then. Only next day she was again interested to watch the rest of the film. Although from that part onwards, the movie improved and much good action started: Zorro was back to his normal self, and other characters gained space. The Zeta-Jones character is a bit unconvincing when fighting, but she is beautiful as can be. Having watched it all, my daughter says she loved it, and wanted to give an 9 or 10 :) Parental guidance is probably not adequate for this feature, I'd say it should be at least 12PG.
