LOL. The sequel IMO was a bit thick. For me the positives are Banderas is talented and genuinely funny, as well as being able to do drama. Catherine Zeta-Jones is great. Some good action.
The bad is the soap opera dynamics, too much unbelievable with the kid. For me it's watchable with some eye-rolling. Just re-watched some brief old interview where Banderas (who is older now of course) hasn't much interest in ever revisiting Zorro, even tho u could hear the crowd calling "Zorro!". Like he says, he'd have to be like Anthony Hopkins in any production at this point.
Personally am still waiting for a good, updated Robin Hood. I liked the Crowe version but why can't someone revisit a more classic approach, like Zorro #1? More or less. No slipping accents, no political correctness, no @ss-kicking Marian (which wouldn't happen with a noblewoman back then). Just re-do the Errol Flynn version.
Looking forward to this fig anyway.
