Mask of Zorro review

Felt like the vintage swashbuckler films of old Hollywood. The story revolves around Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins), long lost daughter Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and protege Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas). The choreography, costumes and score just fantastic. The horse ride/chase sequence and Zorro one on one with Elena were one of the may action highlights were seeing.

Enter Antonio Banderas who has his own bone to pick with Don Rafael Montero's sidekick, the perfectly dastardly Captain Love (wonderful psychopathic turn from Matthew Letscher).
Anthony Hopkins was brilliant, Antonio Banderas was dashing and Catherine Zeta-Jones …
