The Legend of Zorro (PG)
Mar 6 2006 By Graham Young, Birmingham Mail
MARTIN Campbell's The Mask of Zorro was one of the best old fashioned romps of the 90s.
Eight years later, his sequel The Legend Of Zorro is found wanting a good sprinkling of magic dust.
Don Alejandro de la Vega (Antonio Banderas) and his beautiful wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) have raised a spirited 10-year-old son Joaquin (Alonso). But frustrated Elena issues an ultimatum: Alejandro must choose between wearing Zorro's mask - or his family.
With the couple's sexual tension now lacking, Anthony Hopkins long gone and only a couple of decent action sequences to hold out for, this is all rather dull.
The DVD extras include deleted scenes and 14 featurettes.
