The Legend of Zorro

This flick bombed at theaters and was panned by critics for no apparent reason. If you liked the first film, which I did, you'll definitely like this sequel. It's not nearly as consistently entertaining as the original, but it does what it promises and give the audience a decently fun time. Zorro gets a divorce, get jealous of his ex's new beau, finds out he's the head of a terrorist organization determined to rule the world, sticks his whip up his ass as punishment for being a naughty boy and wins back the heart of his bride. It's harmless fun with great action and a lot of humor mixed in for good measure. Watch it and tell me you don't see the similarities between this film and an average James Bond thriller. It's good, but it could have been so much better.
