The Mask Of Zorro (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #23 extract: The mask of Zorro (1998)




The Mask Of Zorro is a pretty harmless film and quite a good time. 
I must have seen this about a dozen times so far - and for no particular reason. In such, there's nothing truly spectacular or even notable about this film; the performances are good, but they can be stiff at times (especially Hopkins); the action is exciting, though nothing awe-inspiring; the story is unremarkable beyond the fact that it can sustain your attention; the direction is competent, though the cinematography is a sometimes romantic to the point of contrivance; and the characters are all fairly well drawn out, but heavily rely on the charisma of the actors playing the roles (Zeta-Jones and Banderas steal the show). 
All in all, The Mask Of Zorro is quite an inconsequential film and nothing to write home about, but, far from insufferable.
