The Legend of Zorro (2004)

This is of the most recent Legend of Zorro because I have not seen the others.If you like woman-knows-more-than-you-think role. Than this is the right movie.

Presentation:20/20(Excellent presentation,it showsthe Californian entrance to America as despreate and necessary)

Plot: 20/20(It is 1850 and at a voting booth a riot starts when Mr.McGivens steals the  voting box in order to prevent California from entering the union,why? Because if it does then Count Armand would have to destroy California as well because he alongs with his Knights of Aragon plan to destroy America through nitro-glycerin bottles which will go to the Southern states which want to secede the union.

Zorro gets caufght in this plot when his wife Elena divorces him and starts seeing Armand he gets suspicious and starts researching Armand thinking Elena no longer likes him,in truth Elena is double-agent working for the Pinkertons)

Bandera's Role:20/20(Basically he is supposed to play Zorro who is in a strained relationship between family and serving of the people.He's supposed to potray De la Vega as a stressed out,heroic,and fighter which he does)

Jones Role:20/20 (Best role in the whole,movie to be correct she is a double agent who must not let Zorro know she is undercover becuase their shared identity will be revealed,she is pretty good at being a woman of deception)

Sewell's Role: 12/20 (He's not good at being a French Count but certainly a worthy opponent of Zorro,he sometimes seems a little gullible and too nice much like Imelda Stuanton's potrayal of Umbridge in Harry Potter,still pretty good at looking nice but not really)

Set:19/20(Mostly perfect but  the Bear Point seen doesn't seem realistic nor does the fire when he fights Mr.McGivens's henchmen in the burning barn,but for the most part it's not to bad)

Execution:20/20 (Good execution of plot with some humor well placed,also the kid seemed a bit like his father. I liked it,the prophecy it seemed right,not to mention the smoking and drinking horse to add sprinkles to the sundae)

Final:19/20 (Mostly good movie,it's just that Sewell couldn't act out a French Count quite right)
