Megan's Movie Review:

This movie was really interesting to me. It was basically just a story. It had no morals to it, well that's what I thought. It was just a story about this family and all these trials that they go through. It all started with the youngest brother dying (which was pretty gruesome) and it was so sad. I didn't cry in this movie, but it was just a sad movie. This poor man named Tristan went through so much and lost so many loved ones. I thought it was also sad how he died in the end, even though I know it was supposed to be this great manly death because he didn't run away from the bear.. Hmm.. Whatever. Brad Pitt was great in this movie. He can pull off the long hair rather well. Fabulous actor too.

Megan's Movie Review:
I remember when this movie was going to come out I was so excited because I loved the first one. But it was so corny and cheesy. They tried too hard to be funny and the blow up scenes were dumb. You could totally tell they were computerized. They just tried to make it like the first one, where it was original and cool, and had cool fight scenes. But it was dumb. The storyline was stupid. I didn't like how he became a terrible father who wasn't a part of his son's life. I just didn't enjoy it.

I loved this movie! This is a cool original movie that I really enjoyed. I thought all the acting was good and the storyline was enjoyable. One thing I really like about this movie was the music. :) I loved all the cool music it had to it. Even though it is over 10 years old, it doesn't seem like it was made too long ago and I still love watching it and never get bored. The fight scenes with the swords are awesome and Zorro has lots of cool moves. Great movie! One of my personal favs!
