No need for the gay stuff
19 August 2016
When I first came across this film, I thought it would be a retelling of Zorro, but I was disappointed to find that it was instead about this guy who took on the persona of Zorro. Well more accurately, two people who took on the persona. This still isn't by any means a bad movie. It's just so so. I really was afraid that judging from the title, this was just going to be a bunch of gay jokes. I'm fairly certain they were not referring to gay as in the classic notion of "happy". One of the Zorro people did seem pretty feminine. My complaint is that the pacing is a bit off.

I'm not that big of a Zorro fan. I was expecting more humor, like this was a parody of Zorro. It was mostly just a straight retelling. There were in fact some pretty funny moments, especially with how the one guy didn't recognize the "Z" as being scary or the other guy thinking it was the number "2". I guess the main problem I had was that this didn't really add anything to the Zorro mythology. It's watchable, just nothing to write home about. I really do appreciate the costumes and sets in this film. It creates good atmosphere, just not something I would recommend. **1/2
