20 Jahre nach seiner Inhaftierung gelingt dem Edelmann Don Diego de la Vega die Flucht aus seinem Kerker. Er bildet den Straßenräuber Alejandro zu seinem Nachfolger aus, damit dieser in der Maske des Volkshelden Zorro den grausamen spanischen Gouverneur Montero bekämpft. Mexiko, 1821: Der tyrannische Gouverneur Don Rafael Montero findet heraus, dass sich hinter der Maske des Volkshelden Zorro der Edelmann Don Diego de la Vega verbirgt. Er lässt de la Vega verhaften, wobei auch dessen Ehefrau Esperanza getötet wird, und entführt seine neugeborene Tochter Elena. Von Rache getrieben, gelingt de la Vega 20 Jahre später die Flucht aus seinem Kerker. Da er nun zu alt ist, um sich persönlich mit Montero zu messen, wählt er den charismatischen Straßenräuber Alejandro dazu aus, fortan die Maske des Zorro zu tragen. Bevor es der ungehobelte Alejandro mit Montero und seinen Schergen aufnehmen kann, muss der Draufgänger zunächst den Umgang mit Degen und Peitsche lernen - und Manieren... (RTL II)

I give it three stars only for the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones and her funny sword fight with Zorro. The rest is a constantly piling up of clichés that I don’t like at all.

I love the scene where the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones "fights" Zorro. And I love the music of this movie.

Great fun with an excellent cast. The mentoring Anthony Hopkins, the stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones and the great Antonio Banderas, who is incredibly likable as Zorro. The first half with the training is excellently made and funny. Also the pretending and pretentious Alejandro is absolutely perfect. The finale in the Mexican mine is bombastic and full of suspense. An adventure movie just as I like them. Bring ‘em on.

Dynamic direction, an action-packed story, devilishly fast pace, beautiful old-fashioned atmosphere, excellent costumes and sets, incredibly well-shot fights and action scenes, superbly mixed sound, graceful camera work, evocative and atmospheric music by James Horner, beautiful romance, mature appearance, lightning-fast editing, a charismatic Antonio Banderas, an uncompromising antagonist in Stuart Wilson, the embodiment of beauty Catherine Zeta-Jones, and on top of that, the great Anthony Hopkins himself, whom I happen to admire the most. Should I continue? It is precisely that stunning Hollywood entertainment of the 1990s that has forever grown close to my heart.

Fun for the whole family, excellently cast and scored, traditionally lively and atmospheric. Banderas is likable in every way and the semi-comedic role suits him perfectly, Hopkins is the certainty of all certainties and on top of that the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones, who should wear a gun belt for her beauty. In addition, the script delights with the use of an original setting, although as the minutes ticked by and with each successive stunt, I found myself wandering more and more when Old Shatterhand would appear on set and dust Zorro with his unerring aim.... Well, fortunately (or unfortunately?) it didn't happen ;) 80%
