Top Critics Reviews

The Mask of Zorro stands as a pointed riposte to those who say they don't make 'em like that anymore.

The story is not important. The clash of swords, the leaps, the tumbles -- it's all very nice. But after 136 minutes, it becomes a bit much.

rotten:
Banderas and Hopkins prove that there's life in the Z-boy yet, but by leaving in the dull patches, the filmmakers may find audiences catching zzzzzs in ways they never intended.

fresh:
A lively, old-fashioned adventure yarn with just a twist of modern attitude, it's the kind of pleasant entertainment that allows the paying customers to have as much fun as the people on screen.

One of the most glorious and rousing adventure movies Hollywood has ever produced.
