In every imaginable way, this is a lesser film than the original.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
The Legend of Zorro spirals into a convoluted series of incidents, bordering on the impenetrable until they're finally revealed as nonsensical.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The passionless string of the hoariest cliches is burnished with the phony luster of an I Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercial, and its plot seems to have been amalgamated by a computer program.
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
Rotten
Though there's worse entertainment around, there may be more people rabid for the return of Prohibition than for a Zorro sequel seven years after the fact.
Mike Clark, USA Today
