Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

The Mask of Zorro—wonderful sword fighting—introduces Antonio Banderas as an outstanding Zorro figure. Casting chose Anthony Hopkins as the aging Zorro and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the female interest. This acting team turns the movie into one of the best Zorro movies made.
