he man bedecked in billow-
ing black strides to the cen-
ter of the screen, then ...
slash slash slash! ... he rips
the very atmosphere with his sword,
leaving behind a fiery "Z" and the
assurance that The Mask of Zorro is
hip to what swashbuckling is all
about.
This genial borrowing from the
James Bond franchise marks the open-
ing of a thoroughly unoriginal, yet,
except for a little roll of fat around the
middle, sleek and strikingly entertain-
ing movie.
Time: 1820s. Place: California,
which is still part Of Mexico, which is
still part of Spain. To the rescue of the
oppressed — that's just about every-
body — rides a mysterious crusader
known as Zorro, a rascal who has a
habit of foiling the overlord's schemes.
Zorro has a secret identity: Don
Diego de la Vega, a wealthy, somewhat
effete landowner. But as Zorro, sword
in hand, he demonstrates awesome
prowess, as well as a weakness for
carving the letter "Z" into walls, casks
of wine and enemy flesh.
Such tomfoolery should only be
presented as a giddy lark, and director
Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) had the
good sense to use as a rough template

the cheesy, good-natured high-jinks
from the late '50s TV show starring
Guy Williams. (There were earlier film
versions: Douglas Fairbanks in 1920,
Republic serials in the '30s and Tyrone
Power in 1940.)
The movie attempts to get serious
with a preposterous scheme master-
minded by the evil Don Rafael Mon-
tero (Stuart Wilson). More successful
is the separated father/daughter sub-
plot involving the older, former Zorro
(Anthony Hopkins, reliable as ever
and downright spry) and his fiery,
long-lost daughter (Catherine Zeta-
Jones). But neither subplot matters
much.
What does matter, and what gels so
wonderfully, is the action. Maybe
we've seen too many shootouts and
too many car chases, or maybe sword-
fights and pursuits on horseback are
inherently more exciting. They are
here, anyway: These sequences dance
on the screen with a kind of joyful
kinetic vibrancy.
A thrilling duel is breathtakingly
reflected in a mirror at the end of a
hallway; an equestrian chase in which
Zorro turns the tables on his pursuers
combines well-wrought slapstick with
magnificent derring-do; and the explo-
sive finale is, in a word, explosive, and,
enormously gratifying.
Antonio Banderas plays an igno-
rant, thieving ruffian destined to
inherit Don Diego's mantle of respon-
sibility and dashing wardrobe. Cape,
