I don&#8217;t know why.  I liked both of them very much.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0386140\">The Legend of Zorro<\/a>&#8221; is done in exactly the same spirit as &#8220;The Mask of Zorro&#8221;.  Both Banderas and Zeta-Jones are in it.  Lots of fights, lots of chases, lots of explosions.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.  It&#8217;s all there.<\/p>\n<p>Even the drama is there.  And, again, it is family related.<\/p>\n<p>Anything wrong?  Sure.  Firstly, I missed Anthony Hopkins.  I do remember that he died in the first part, but they could have at least edited him in.  Just his voice makes the film so much better and I don&#8217;t see the reason why they didn&#8217;t put him in.  Secondly, I had a minor irretation from the brain washing.  At this point I am pretty fed up with all the &#8220;patriotic&#8221; and &#8220;American&#8221; stuff and this film had a tiny bit too much of it.  Cut the crap!  Put another fight if you have to.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the film was very good.
