I remember being fairly unimpressed by it when I first saw it in the theaters... it struck me as a pretty conventional action movie with all the far-fetched silliness that entails, a little too long, and skating by on the reputation of Anthony Hopkins and the (not inconsiderable) charms of Catherine Zeta-Jones. <br /><br />A few years later, I caught part of it on TV and enjoyed what I saw. <br /><br />Then I finally watched the whole thing through again and this time had an entirely positive reaction (although I still think it's a tad long for the material). <br /><br />I guess it just goes to show what a huge effect your mood or your circumstances can have on your reaction to a movie.<br /><br />As for The Mummy, well, I like that one too, although I know it has detractors.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-64848174097692401162010-10-26T13:28:34.968-04:002010-10-26T13:28:34.968-04:00My love for 'Mask of Zorro' knows no limit...My love for 'Mask of Zorro' knows no limits. It's such a great adventure with fantastic characters and a hero I totally got behind. His battle against the villianous Don Rafael and Captain Love are epic and is there any cooler scene than the dance he does with Helena? I would get married JUST to dance like that with someone in front of an adoring crowd. I am a big fan of swordfighting in movies and this one doesn't let me down. There is comedy, revenge, adventure, redemption and love. What more can anyone ask for? Movies don't get much better than this.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.com
