Not great, but enjoyable sequel
Just saw this at an Advanced Screening the other day and must admit i
was not particularly looking forward to it. Mainly due to the fact that
i loved the original. I loved its tongue in cheek campness, its fun and
exciting action scenes, and Anthony Hopkins.
Thankfully LOZ has 2 out of the 3 (no Anthony Hopkins for obvious
reasons) and while the film has clearly been dumbed down and made more
"family friendly" as with all mainstream Hollywood sequels, it still
has Banderas and Zeta Jones clearly having fun with it.
True, some of the CGI looks a bit naff, and there is a terribly
unnecessary scene with a horse which made me laugh just because i would
have cried because of the terrible effect, but the action scenes are
action packed and use a fairly minimal amount of it.
As for the story there isn't really much to say of it, which is
probably why it doesn't live up to its predecessors standards. But it
trys well enough.
At the end of the day fans of the original Zorro film will probably
enjoy this, as long as they don't expect it to be anything other than a
fun popcorn sequel.
