The Legend of Zorro (2005)

California has decided to join the Union. De la Vega has a quarrel with his wife and she decides to leave him. She starts seeing a French count. De la Vega is jealous and suspects him of foul play.

In real life, Puerto Rico's population voted for annexation to the U.S.A., but Uncle Sam said no. Meanwhile, enjoy an entertaining action film, with an image-oriented, boredom-proof screenplay, and a direction which makes the most of it. Jones is especially good in it. Zorro, as a character, is here an empty grinning mannequin, perfectly bourgeoisified, and fully adapted to political correctness and postmodernity. And this is one of those films where the bad guys never shoot the good ones when they have the opportunity.

Seen dubbed in Portuguese.

Rating: 54
