Best movie ever!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Little late to the party on this one, I accept, but maybe the TV experience will be slightly kinder than the harsh glare of the cinema screen on this notorious flop from a few years back. The answer.... not really. It's still an overlong, vaguely racist, horribly predictable, second rate action-adventure. Armie Hammer plays John Reid a pacifist district attorney who joins his brother's posse to help track down notorious murdered Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) and his gang. When the posse is betrayed, Reid's brother is killed and he is left for dead. He's restored by Silver, a Native American spirit horse and Tonto (Johnny Depp) who then forms a reluctant partnership with Reid and in going after Cavendish, they discover a larger conspiracy. There are a couple of reasons why "The Lone Ranger" doesn't really work. Much of the blame was landed at Johnny Depp's feet, as this was right around the time opinion turned on him and to be fair, much of that here is justified. Though spending some of the running time in awful "old man" make up doesn't help, the film never really settles on who "Tonto" is. At times he's possessing "native" insight and wisdom, at others he blunders around taking pratfalls and "feeding" the dead crow on his head, sadly, most of the time, he's just irritating.But those tonal problems roll out to the rest of the film too. It veers wildly between high farce and mild horror. Various scenes of slaughtered Indian Villages, and of Cavendish removing and eating Reid's brother's heart don't mesh well with the ladder riding pratfalls of the films climactic scenes. There are odd character choices too, such as the decision to make Reid in love with his brother's wife. . as if somehow he wouldn't be as motivated to save his brothers widow and his nephew if he wasn't also in in love with her. The reveal of the extra villain at the end was very underwhelming, if you can't work it out from the names on the poster, then you really haven't seen enough movies. The final action scene is a really good one, with a train split into several carriages that then traverses numerous crossing tracks that are (inexplicably) all going in the same direction, but unfortunately it's too little, too late, to justify the horrendous running time.

The story is told as a flashback from 1933 with an aged Tonto (Johnny Depp) being a circus Indian attraction. In this saga, the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) is a straight, rather green marshal who seeks justice and revenge for the death of his brother. He is the reluctant partner of Tonto whose "mind is broken." The two form a comedy duo as they go after the bad guys.The plot was secondary to the characters. The film was enjoyable, but not entertaining enough to sit comfortably for over two hours. I felt I sat there for 2 hours of character and plot build-up for one lone climatic William Tell Overture scene. The film lacked a certain cohesion and contained anachronisms. For instance the Sears watch given to a young Tonto prior to 1868 was impossible as the first Sears watch sold was 1886.Great popcorn film. Don't expect an epic. We do find out what Kemosabe means and it was not what my mother told me (king of s***), although Tonto could have lied. There was one scene which could have vindicated mom.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Brothel scene.

This movie consisted of 3 train wrecks.One at the beginning, one at the end.and a 2 hour one in between them.If it weren't for some decent special effects, it wouldn't be worth talking about.By far, worst rendition of The Lone Ranger ever made.

All right folks, I need to tell that this was a mixture movie. Those who go to watch this movie for only entertainment might encounter a few cruel scenes or scenes touching the reality of the time. They may be upset. Those who go to watch a real story and do not expect protagonists escaping dangers miraculously might find a few miraculous escapes. They may be upset.My recommendation is to be very open when going to watch this movie. And if you are you most likely will see many folkloric events proceeding one another.The plot is predictable and the flow is somewhat long, but the real fun is in between. Good acting, good effects, positive atmosphere with a touch of reality here and there. These will make you continuously exchange between smile and thoughtfulness.
