This has been on my to-see list for some time now. Maybe I'll go out and rent this instead of going to see "The Lone Ranger" in order to get that "old school throwback swashbuckler adventure movie" fix.

Oh it's a great adventure. Fantastic heroes and dastardly villains in the Disney style of adventure. It's in my top five favorites of all time. I can't believe that you have never seen his.

I think I saw part of it on TV back in high school, meant to check it out later and got busy. You know how it is.

Based on the trailer this may be a precursor to the Batman Begins school of superhero action films with emphasis on training the hero and taking on the role of a symbol as an outlet for vengeance. Certainly fitting as Zorro was an inspiration for Batman, and the overseas success of the European Zorro films is what convinced producers to greenlight the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve.

The film is very much old school good vs evil. There is no problem figuring out who the hero is. And Antonio is very good as the protégé as are all the other members of the cast. Catherine Zeta Jones has never been more strong or sexy.

I love this movie so much. I walked out of the middle of 'Godzilla' just to go to another theater to watch the trailer for it again.

It's too bad the sequel was written by the worthless hacks who destroyed, along with Jar Jar Abrams, Star Trek for the past 4 years.
