I'm glad to find someone else who like The Mask of Zorro. My wife and I caught this again on TV last weekend, and even with the chopped scenes, it was still a fantastic adventure film. It is something of rarity nowadays - an adventure film with real actors, a plot, and some emotional depth.

Shalom, y'all!

I liked the Mask of Zorro because it made me feel like I hadn't wasted the time it took to watch it. I left entertained and satisfied, and that is one part of being a good movie. A lot of other action/adventure movies fail because they lack a way to make the viewer interested.

There's a few here I have on my list. One blaring absence I see is for "Dark City". Did you not see it, or did it not cut the mustard for ya'?

Actually, I did not see it. Science Fiction isn't a big interest of mine.

You must see it. It's oh so much more than a Science Fiction film.
