Plot Summary: Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are re-united with director Martin Campbell in Columbia Pictures' epic adventure "The Legend of Zorro".

The year is 1850 and our swashbuckling crusader is challenged by the most dangerous mission of his life.

After fighting to help California become the 31st state of the Union, Zorro (Banderas) must live up to the promise he made his wife Elena (Zeta-Jones) - to give up his secret identity and live a normal life as Alejandro de la Vega. When he hesitates, it threatens to tear them apart.

Now, the same forces that conspired to keep California from becoming part of the United States are plotting to unleash a threat that has been 500 years in the making, a threat that could change the course of history forever.

And only Zorro can stop it.

She is my hottie goddess, and I liked the first one, but the trailer for the second looked like a sad Hollywood followup. The little kid yelling for his 'papi' to get the bad guys? Ugh.

We're going to see this next Thursday.

I think we'll watch the first one again some time this week.

For once I agree with you, Stout. I have a feeling this will be a big letdown. There was something great about Catherine being a relative unknown and looking like she did onscreen. Now she's probably too huge a star for the part (arguably bigger than Banderas right now).

Yeah, I think maybe the scene in the previews where the horse jumps from a hill or something onto a moving train...kind of makes me think it's going to suck

Why did they have to bring a kid into this. Now we get to have a whole movie of cute kid one liners. Ugh.

I don't think it'll be a letdown--I just think it'll suck.

Well, I'm a stage combat freak, so I'll probably watch it anyway.

Well, we didn't get to go see it last Thursday, but my Mom used our pass and she loved it. She said the crowd loved it too.

Lots of action and the movie plot is what you'd expect - check your brain at the door and grab some popcorn.
