Saw this for free last week in a sneak preview. One of the worst movies I have seen. Reminds me of Will Smiths Wild West movie but worse.

I thought Wild Wild West was decent, so excuse me.

And the Lone Ranger TV show was worse than the radio show, which was quite good. Lone Ranger worked better as theater of the mind. What did you expect? The TV show was full of camp. I'm going to see it and enjoy it.

I just saw it and have mixed feelings. I loved how the story was presented with the little kid at the carnival. It was very good in spots,very uneven for a 250 million dollar movie. The problem was casting Johnny Depp as Tonto. There was no way they would portray the Ranger as the "cool guy" and they didn't. He was more of a naive kid.Incidentally,certain aspects of the movie's plot were taken directly from the 1956 version of "The Lone Ranger". 250 mil doesn't buy much these days. Excellent supporting cast,btw.

IMDB's review of one of my all-time favorite movies,the 1956 version of "The Lone Ranger"
(filmed in tecnicolor,watching the movie is like watching a live oil painting on a HD TV!!)
:

The story briefly, involves big time rancher Reese Kilgore (Lyle Bettger) trying to incite a war with the local Indian tribe on whose reservation a mountain of silver is located. The Masked Man and his faithful Indian companion ride in to try and prevent the conflict.

Moore and Silverheels, who had been around the "B" movie scene since the late 30s, play their parts pretty much the way they did on TV but with a little more edge. Moore has a knock down drag out fight with the Indian warrior Angry Horse (Michael Ansara) who is trying to take control of the tribe from sickly Chief Red Hawk (Frank DeKova). Tonto meanwhile, is beaten up by Kilgore's thugs (Robert J. Wilke, Mickey Simpson, Zon Murray). And the boys even get to gun down a couple of the bad guys. And, The Lone Ranger even gets wounded only to make a remarkable recovery. And oh yes, Moore also gets don the disguise of the old prospector again as he did several times in the TV series.

In addition to those mentioned, the supporting cast also includes Bonita Granville (wife of Producer Wrather) as Bettger's wife, Beverly Washburn as their daughter, John Pickard as the Sheriff, Perry Lopez as Pete Ramerez and Kermit Maynard and William Schallert in smaller parts.

The movie is not as corny as the TV series and turns out to be an entertaining western.

exactly what i thought when i first saw previews for it. i've seen way more from the hype machine than i wanted to and know it will be a bad movie.

gore verbinski has a penchant for bloating a fun idea into a ridiculous overstuffed confused self gratifying pile of shit.

Tell us how you really feel.

You left me a message I DID NOT listen to....what was it?

Saw it today. If you go in w/ the mindset that it's a dumb action movie that happens to be set in the Wild West, then you'll be entertained.

Depp was okay as Tonto. From what I read, people made it seem like he was doing Captain Jack as Tonto, but I didn't find that as the case. Also, even though he's got the top credit, the Lone Ranger IS the protagonist.
