"Zorro" had everything that most of this summer's other "blockbusters" didn't: action that wasn't just an excuse to blow stuff up, romance that involved more than "Let's see how much skin we can show in a PG-13 movie," and a fair share of humor that didn't seem like a flimsy excuse for comic relief. The characters seemed to act out of their own motivations, not out of motivations designed only to maximize the production cost. It makes for a welcome break in a summer filled with high-budget poorly-scripted fiascos. Solid summer movie-making at its best.
