We really loved Zorro a few years ago. Great drama, great characters, good action, good romance, a happy ending. And gorgeous actors. Very well done.
So we were disappointed after watching Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones reprise their roles in the current movie. Still very pleasant to look at, but gone were the drama and character development. The action had turned into A-Team like stunts, lots of bodies flying around in a cartoonish way without anybody ever getting hurt.
The precocious son of Zorro has become a focal point of the movie and the parents have devolved into good-natured but somewhat bumbling heroes. It reminded me a lot of another Banderas movie, Spy Kids, but not as original or endearing.
It still managed to entertain, but was not memorable.
