This movie...how do you say...ah, yes...blows
Despite a dramatic opening, golden Z's and a suspenseful score, The Legend of Zorro never reaches an ultimate climax. Although entertaining, Legend's fight sequences, grounded by only a faint storyline, consume the entire film. It's all been done before, most notably in this movie's predecessor, The Mask of Zorro. This time around, Don Alejandro (Banderas) has a son with Elena (Zeta-Jones), a cocky, quarrelsome boy named Joaquin. But who needs plot when the dialogue accompanying it contains such wonderful verses such as, "Listen to me, you backwards-ass frog" and "I'll cut your tongue and feed it to the dogs." Indeed, more important is the life lesson gleaned from Legend: saying "s‹¨«" is always sexier than saying "yes".
