The Mask of Zorro
1998
***½
Director: Martin Campbell
Cast: Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Anthony Hopkins, Stuart Wilson

Zorro's big screen outing is a very enjoyable action comedy which doesn't take itself too seriously. Anthony Hopkins plays the ageing title character and Antonio Banderas shows great comedic timing as his younger apprentice. Together they fight a nasty land developer who snatched the old man's daughter 20 years earlier. Followed by The Legend of Zorro in 2005.
