The Legend of Zorro

Post by MD-2389 »

Anyone see this movie yet?

I went to see it yesterday, and I have to say its alot better than the first one. I was leery about a sequel to an already great movie, but I was seriously impressed! It has far more action than the first one, and it still has the same comedic formula. :P

trailer

edit: Quicktime 7 or latest Quicktime Alternative codec req.

"The First One"?

You know there's been like 27 million Zorro films - right?

Are you referring to the Anthony Hopkins one? I thought that was just pathetic. Asking us to believe a 70 year old can move like a 20-something was pretty lame.

I used to really enjoy the old TV show, which was made in the sixties, I think.

That's right, Mobius; we all went to see The Mask of Zorro because of its accuracy to real life. :roll:

I was honestly surprised that they made a sequel to that movie so long after it was made, and even more surprising is that both Banderas and Zeta-Jones are coming back for it. Looks like it should be pretty good. :)

Naw, really? I never would've guessed that in a million years! But then again, I wouldn't expect someone like you to read sequel, click the link which I provided, and put two and two together!

You know what's funny? Alot of those stunts were actually performed by him! He initially refused the part because of his bad back. However, he had a laser operation on his back, and then turned down another role just to play the "mentor" Zorro. Oh, if you're going to the movies and expecting accuracy, then you're living in a dream world bucko.

Yeah, I used to watch that on what used to be known as the "Family Channel" (before they got bought out by ABC, and redubbed "ABC Familiy". It was pretty entertaining.
