The Mask of Zorro is a very entertaining 90's film with themes of succession and vengeance carried by big names such as Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
It is not the greatest movie ever made but it has a bit of everything to keep you engaged throughout especially when it comes to the duel and fight scenes.
The love story is a bit cliche (the woman, who doesn't seem so bright at first but later displays her own ideas, values and sword skills, falls in love at first sight with the mysterious hero) but it goes with its time.
As for the acting it is a bit flat in my opinion. There were a lot of emotional scenes but I didn't feel anything due to that.
It is quite different from the original TV show but it properly conveys the mystique of the character.
Last but not least, the music is always a delight to listen to, especially the timeless duo played during the end credits.
