Crisp and competent and often witty, but it only does what it's supposed to do; it's never quite inspired or exhilarating...

Directed with snap and panache by Martin Campbell, Mask of Zorro gives audiences a pair of dashing whippersnappers for the price of one.

Zorro follows the predictable paths of action movies, but re-energizes the pattern with adrenaline, exuberance, creativity, and humor.

At its best, this 'Zorro' captures some of the dizzyingly romantic flavor of pulp fiction. ...Unfortunately, Martin Campbell has directed this Mexican melodrama in an often uninspired fashion.

With a perfectly cast Antonio Banderas slashing those Zs, The Mask of Zorro offers as many zesty sword fights as an Errol Flynn film festival.
