The Legend Of Zorro Review
Synopsis: If you live long enough or see enough movies, the most fractured premises unveil before your eyes. So in The Legend of Zorro, the masked one is pitted against - hold on - a weapon of mass destruction. With a family to consider, the courageous Zorro (Antonio Banderas) must now weigh the consequences of his secretive, crime-fighting, swashbuckling life: he has become estranged from both his wife, Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones), and child, Joaquin (Adrian Alonso). His son, only knowing that 'papa is away on business' has a difficult time dealing with his father's absence. And his adventure-loving wife must maintain a level of normalcy for the trio's home-life, much to her frustration. However, while Zorro tries to pull himself away from dangerous crusading, his heart speaks to him of a great darkness, and he prays for the courage and strength to, once again, put on the mask--realizing that there is a major threat brewing in California. However, his family falls into peril as he fights the dark forces, and thus, Zorro, is once again called to save the day against a new nemesis. |
