In 2022, "fun" has become a four-letter word in Hollywood. What passes for popcorn entertainment today is too often saddled with heavy handed "messages" and agendas to actually entertain. If Hollywood is looking for a blueprint on how to start being the f-word again, they need look no further than 1998's "The Mask of Zorro".
Looking like it could've been filmed last week, this modern re-telling of the Zorro legend is an absolute blast. From its electric sword fights to its white knuckle stunts, this is consummate movie action-adventure. The type that has kids racing home to recreate its swashbuckling antics and adults pining to join them.
It's an absolute shame that today's kids don't have these types of films being made for them. But thankfully there are classics like "The Mask of Zorro" waiting to be discovered. And maybe--just maybe--that will spark a new generation of filmmakers who will grow up to start making these kinds of films again.
