The Legend of Zorro

The critics have their swords out for The Legend of Zorro. Even many who liked the original. One of them, Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune, calls it pretty bad, a long way from the dash and satisfactions of the earlier picture. Indeed, most critics compare the old Zorro with the new. Comments Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times: Like the New Coke and numerous other commercial products, The Legend of Zorro, theoretically a new and improved Zorro movie, is not as satisfying as the old and unimproved version. Stephen Holden says the new movie is busier, sloppier, less coherent and more frantic than its predecessor. Ty Burr in the Boston Globe comments: The stars and director are back but the thrill is gone, replaced by a muttonheaded script and slapstick comedy that starts in hectic mode and quickly strips its gears. On the other hand, Philip Wuntch in the Dallas Morning News concludes that the movie accomplishes its mission. He writes: If a good, old-fashioned movie is what you seek, The Legend of Zorro is what you get. Good, it mostly is. Old-fashioned, it definitely is. This family-friendly opus features a handsome, humorous hero, a ravishing, feisty heroine, an adorable moppet and a magnificent horse. As for the villains, most of them are ugly as sin.On these simplistic terms, the movie succeeds stylishly.
