The Mask of Zorro may have been made in the late 90s, but it feels like a classic swashbuckler film, fun, funny, cheeky, sexy, and action-packed. Zorro's pulp origins are translated as well as they are in an Indiana Jones film (and perhaps that's no surprise with Spielberg producing). I have some misgivings about Anthony Hopkins playing the original Zorro - flashbacks of his black-faced Othello for the BBC - but Antonio Banderas is absolutely perfect as his replacement, and quite rightly, this made Catherine Zeta-Jones a star. The swordplay, horseplay, etc. is great, the score is memorable, and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously (just seriously enough). A good time, and I'm sorry to hear the too-late sequel didn't recapture the quality.

Movie of my childhood.

Quite entertaining, enjoyed it
