8/10
I have always loved this film. The Mask of Zorro is a highly exciting action romp, with elements of comedy and drama mixed in for good measure. It has a solid cast and a beautiful score by the always reliable James Horner. This film took a literary character beloved by millions and turned him into a pop culture icon.

I will say it was weird that the film tried to convince me that British thespian Anthony Hopkins was a Spanish Don named Diego de la Vega. While Hopkins was great in the role, I wish they'd cast a Spanish actor in his place. Antonio Banderas was terrific as the new Zorro, a role that seemed to be made for him.

The Mask of Zorro is a fantastic action film that deserved more attention and praise than it received. It still holds up today and is considerably better than its one and only sequel. I recommend it.
