This film is about a man named Zorro who fought for the people but then got too old. He then trained someone younger to become the new Zorro. It involves well-choreographed sword scenes and generally good actors playing their part very well. Such an action packed film, every scene leads to another in a very pleasing way. At first it was a little confusing but then it all started to make sense and was better than ever! It's music always compliments the actions happening which just adds to the amazingness of it. I'm sure most films would have that too because you wouldn't find a scary scene with a monster to happy summer music, would you?
The setting just works with the whole film perfectly. There's a balance of romance (sometimes too much), action, dialogue and a little bit of sadness. There's also a small amount of humour as the cherry on top. It takes you back in time but still feels modern in the craziest way possible. I'd recommend it as a film to watch with a friends or family, but it can be a little bit gruesome so maybe slightly older kids would enjoy it more but only slightly older, for example ages 8+ . Overall I'd say this film is absolutely PHENOMENAL.
