Old-fashioned fun that goes down as smoothly as a vintage cocktail.

This pleasant movie anachronism, an assemblage of traditional Robin Hooded scenarios (and superior swordplay) that, in the right light, is a nostalgic treat, and in shadow evokes Monty Python.

Antonio Banderas is great in the role of Zorro. The vengeance storyline is gripping.
