	'The Mask of Zorro' (PG-13)
		Zorro's mentor likes her, because he used to be Zorro and he is in fact her papa.
		Zorro, which means "fox" in Spanish, has been around since a crime reporter with a lurid imagination and a leaden pen made him up in 1919.
		Zorro, after all, is the original man in fl as well as the original masked man, and Banderas gets all the moves right; more important, he looks good in tight pants.

	The Mask of Zorro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Zorro rested in movie retirement for a good, long time before being resurrected in 1998 for a new adventure of the fl-garbed swordsman.
		Zorro isn't caught in the governor's trap, but his alter ego, Don Diego de la Vega, is taken by force from his burning home after seeing his wife killed and his tiny daughter stolen away.
		When she meets the young Zorro for the second time, she gives him his fiercest duel of the day -- a well-matched sparring which is both exciting and subtly erotic.

	Review: The Mask of Zorro (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Technical aspects of THE MASK OF ZORRO are mostly smooth and transparent.
		I do not expect to see Elena brushing her hair or Zorro nursing his sore muscles; but I would argue that the film is too tightly edited.
		Zorro swirls his cape and, turning to the audience, carves a burning "Z".

	Dr. Daniel's Movie Emergency - The Mask of Zorro - Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Matt Lescher
		Zorro has ridden back into theatres, and this time, he's a whole lot of fun to watch.
		Zorro rides in on his fl horse, Tornado, and lays out a whole case of butt-kick fever, and deposits a "Z" on Don Rafael's neck for good measure, a permanent reminder of who defeated his plans.
		Alejandro is the "Zorro in training," and training he needs, in everything from fencing to table manners.

	THE MASK OF ZORRO movie review, In Film Australia
		The Mask of Zorro is one of these; it is spellbinding and old fashioned, containing every element of a traditional superhero film.
		Zorro’s many sword fights are captured incredibly on screen, with clashes and clangs bringing hoots and thrills from the audience.
		However as the young Zorro, Antonio Banderas almost steals the show, with a sparkling and exciting performance that is almost always on cue (though sometimes he seems all too aware of his heroic guise).

	Mask Of Zorro Review
		In this new adventure, Anthony Hopkins plays the original masked avenger, only to be caught and imprisoned for 20 years.
		Although I began to get annoyed with the cartoonishly soft focus the filmmakers used on her, she works sublimely with a sword, and she gives her character strong personality and character.
		Zorro's sword could have been used well in the editing room.

	The Mask of Zorro: Special Edition (1998)
		Zorro was one of those heroes who felt stuck in a past era so strongly that I didn’t think an updated take on the character would work.
		The Mask of Zorro appears in both an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and in a fullscreen version on these single-sided, dual-layered DVDs; DVD One offers the 2.35:1 presentation, while DVD Two includes the fullframe film.
		The Mask of Zorro was the second Columbia-Tristar (CTS) DVD to include a DTS soundtrack.

	Zorro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Andalusian-colonial society depicted in the Zorro Hollywood films, with gentlemen in bolero suits and swords and ladies in comb and mantilla, is quite picturesque and certainly evokes the gracious living of the creole in colonial New Spain.
		Zorro breaks his leg just before he was to set out on an adventure, and sends his gay twin brother, a master with the whip, in his stead.
		The Legend of Zorro (2005), with Antonio Banderas.

	The Mask of Zorro Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		The illustrious character of Zorro first made his mark in 1919's "The Curse of Capistrano", a serialized piece of pulp fiction written by Johnston McCulley, a police-reporter-turned-author.
		"The Mask of Zorro" is all that you would expect-- a dashing and dazzling display of heroics and derring-do, abounding with swordplay antics and romantic intrigue, reminiscent of the halcyon days of Errol Flynn.
		As the older Zorro, Hopkins brings an air of self-confidence and refined poise, commanding not only the attention of his protege during training sessions, but also of the audience.

	Review: The Mask of Zorro
		Zorro, the swashbuckling hero of the undertrodden, was introduced to the world in 1919 when he debuted in the pages of Johnston McCulley's serialized novel, The Curse of Capistrano.
		The Mask of Zorro, a '90s attempt to revive interest in the venerable hero, offers just what one might reasonably expect from a Zorro movie: a great deal of excitement and adventure, all brought to the screen by using a somewhat irreverent tone that keeps the mood light without trivializing the characters.
		He is the original Zorro, the mysterious avenger who defends Mexico against its foes, including his arch-enemy, Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson), the cruel governor of the region.

	"The Mask of Zorro" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		What may concern people more is the fact that the hero (Zorro ala Antonio Banderas) is a criminal and his motive for heroism is revenge on a law officer who was involved in Alejandro Murrieta's brothers death while executing his duties (albeit a bit too zealously).
		The Mask of Zorro has all the action of a James Bond movie with a more interesting plot and more developed characters than those movies typically have.
		I thoughly enjoyed The Mask Of Zorro and would recomend it to anyone who's looking for both humor and action in a clean cut sort of way with very little swearing and only a little indecent exposure.

	[No title]
		Triumphantly, Zorro gives an amulet to a young boy, then returns home to find that Montero has made the connection between the folk hero and his noble peer.
		As Zorro he doesn't sing, but he dances, swashbuckles and swings from the rafters while spouting dialogue like, "I am not a man with a vision, but I am a man looking for a vision." He hasn't been this funny since his early career in Pedro Almodóvar films, reveling in bawdy, physical humor.
		Zorro needs real charm and false class to be a hero, not the other way around.

	The BigScreen Cinema Guide: Reader Reviews - The Mask of Zorro
		In Spielbergesk style, the Phantom was written by the writter of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Mask of Zorro was produced by Spielberg.
		The Mask of Zorro is a beautiful film with Oscar callibar acting by Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins.
		If you could see only one movie this summer, The Mask of Zorro is refreshingly devoid of all those special effects, and relies on a great story, acting and cinematography that entertains at the highest level.

	The Mask of Zorro mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Continuity: Near the beginning of the movie, after the big fight scene, Zorro rides up the steps on his horse and behind him you can see that the sun is setting, which means it should be early evening.
		Revealing: In the scene where Captain Love and Antonio Banderas (as Zorro) meet in the hallway of the hacienda, two guards rush down the hallway and drop their rifles and swords.
		Zorro asks them to bend over and then proceed to kick/nudge them out the window.

		Zorro, a pop-fiction creation invented by Johnston McCulley in 1918, is given new blood in this fast-moving and engaging version, which actually works as a sequel to the story line in the Fairbanks-Power saga, The Mark of Zorro.
		Zorro, this Californian Robin Hood, has to fight against the powerful and for the powerless.
		When Zorro films were made in the past, violence pervaded with lots of blood and many corpses.

		The old Zorro legend is given a new twist with this film, which begins with Don Diego de la Vega, the original and legendary Zorro, saving a group of prisoners from execution in the town square and leaving his mark on his nemesis, Don Raphael, warning him to leave and never return.
		This new film version of Zorro is an excellent homage to the previous incarnations of the character created by police reporter and pulp writer Johnston McCulley (1883-1958), most notably the 1920 silent film version "The Mark Of Zorro" starring silent screen legend Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.
		This movie makes the story of Zorro a legend and awakens the synapses of many people reminding them how fun and classical Zorro truly is. He is the only mexican hero that carves a Z into the shirts of many of his enemies.

		In a sea of CGI-filled blockbusters, "The Mask of Zorro" burst forth in 1998 with a mix of adventure and humour that had long been absent from the silver screen.
		What Zorro doesn't know is that Montero raised the baby girl as his own.
		When she returns 20 years later in the form of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zorro decides to train-up the foul and scruffy Banderas into a new young Zorro, to defeat the evil Montero.

	Movie (Metro Times Detroit)
		When The Mask of Zorro opens, in 1821, the Spanish --once a colonial power --are weakened and ready to relinquish the territory of California to Mexico.
		The Mask of Zorro is unabashedly old-fashioned, full of heroic heroes, villainous villains, exciting fight scenes and a central romance whose heat doesn't need an explicit love scene to be palpable --a phenomenal swordplay-foreplay scene works even better.
		Mask also has the wit and sense of fun that's been missing since Richard Lester's terrific, boisterous 1970s musketeer films.

		That's why The Mask of Zorro, the latest movie version of the Zorro legend, strikes a deep chord in me. Now this is a movie, I feel in my bones, as I watch Zorro dispatch Spanish flunkies with a witty flourish.
		The Mask of Zorro is also a throwback in the sense that it has plenty of plot to sustain and drive the action.
		May The Mask of Zorro spawn a thousand throwback projects, and may Banderas long reign as king of the masked men.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: THE MASK OF ZORRO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Directed with flair by Martin Campbell, the man who reinvigorated the James Bond franchise with "Goldeneye," "The Mask of Zorro" is a handsome, engaging film.
		Filled with noble heroes, despicable villains and a lovely damsel who is definitely not in distress, the film captures the imagination with clever action and the heart with a love story that's both passionate and satisfying.
		Desperate to get even with Zorro, Montero and his men show up at Don Diego's spacious residence, and in their struggle to capture him, kill his wife.

	The Mask Of Zorro DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		In the 1998 "The Mask of Zorro," Antonio Banderas restores honor to the form, along with dash, charm and excitingly good swordsmanship.
		"The Mask of Zorro" special edition is a two-disc set, but this is a little misleading, as Disc 1 has all the extra goodies.
		"The Mask of Zorro" is tremendously entertaining and Banderas will surely impress viewers as the quintessential Zorro, no matter how many other versions they’ve seen before or may see afterwards.

	The Mask of Zorro movie review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Phantom, Zorro is a normal human without any extraordinary super powers fighting to overcome injustice and oppression.
		The film begins in 1821 (the Zorro character himself was introduced in 1919).
		In particular, the scenes are all done comic-book style, where things happen that are highly unrealistic but are acceptable only from a panel-by-panel perspective (for example, the classic use of Zorro's sword as though it were a man to mark whatever he chooses).

		The Mask of Zorro appears in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD.
		One nice touch: an index lets you jump to any of the five subsections, but you can also skim through them as one big package, which means you don’t return to the menu after three or four photos.
		The 2005 Mask is a good value for new purchasers, though, especially if they plan to see Legend.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE MASK OF ZORRO
		For those not familiar with the Robin Hood-like character, Zorro was Don Diego de la Vega, nobleman who donned a fl mask and fought for the Mexican peasants against tyrannical Spanish rule.
		In the opening moments of the film, Zorro is captured and imprisoned as the last act of the departing Spanish governor, Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson).
		The cast of THE MASK OF ZORRO also features the extraordinarily beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones as Elena, the object of the new Zorro's desire and Matthew Letscher as Captain Harrison Love- the new Zorro's adversary.

	The Mask of Zorro film review
		El Zorro must also return, but de la Vega is too old to gallop about having tricksy sword fights and narrow escapes.
		And so he turns to sexy bandit Alejandro Murieta (Antonio Banderas), schooling him in the artistry of being an outlaw folk-hero, equipping him with the skills required to rejoin the struggle against the scheming Rafael.
		That this latest Zorro is a triumph is not just down to Hopkins' noble and silvery veteran, or Banderas' charismatic hothead, or Catherine Zeta-Jones' proud voluptuosity (and if that's not a word, it should be), or clashing swordplay, sun-drenched locations or hectic, thrill-packed action.
