Antonio Banderas is back as Don Alejandro de la Vega (aka Zorro) in 'The Legend of Zorro'. But this time, the world has changed. California is no longer part of Mexico and is becoming a state of the Union. Zorro must do what he can to insure the safety and freedom of the people.
This is an action-packed film for the whole family. This is not a history lesson; this movie takes a lot of liberty with historical facts. Beyond that, it is a really fun movie. Granted, it is a little over the top with some of the action. But, I think that is more for the kids to enjoy. I would say it is a combination of 'Spy Kids' and 'The Musketeer' (not as over the top as 'The Musketeer').
I thought Adrian Alonso (Joaquin) did a particularly good job as Don Alejandro's son. I thought he was the same kid who played opposite Antonio Banderas in 'Four Rooms', but he is not. Nevertheless, he is really good. So is Rufus Sewell (Armand) as the villain. People may remember him from 'Dark City'.
