What could they possibly do for Zorro this time around? I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised that Zorro is just as entertaining as he was the first time! The movie is still a sequel and, therefore, still not as good as the original, but they did well with it. The movie turns into a funny look at familial relationships in extraordinary circumstances - Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) tires of living the secret life of a masked hero, but Alejandro (who curiously adopts the surname de la Vega....) can't ...
