I was a little disappointed about the critics' review of the movie, since I adore Johnny Depp and had been waiting for the movie to release for months. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie was lovely. It had action (as promised), a good plot and pretty generous doses of humor for a movie of this genre. Depp stole the show with his portrayal of Tonto, but the other actors were great as well. The obvious comparison of this movie is with the Pirates of the Caribbean series because of Verbinski and Depp. There were parts of the movie, especially those where Tonto's actions generated laughs from the theater, which reminded me of the latter. Both have Depp in eccentric roles which provide ample comic relief. But since the themes are completely different, I feel that a comparison is not exactly fair. All in all, it is a good, lighthearted, entertaining way to spend two and a half hours, and I am considering hitting the theater for it again soon.
I was surprised to learn that many people deem the 2013 Lone Ranger as 'unsalvageable', and there are a few decent reasons why. The plot is quite convoluted and the gritty tone is a bit off putting, but it's a film that always manages to entertain me.
Armie Hammer does a decent job as the titular character, and he has good chemistry with Johnny Depp's Tonto. Depp might've been an odd choice for the character, and you could argue it's a Jack Sparrow reskin, but he makes Tonto strange and humorous to watch.
One of the film's greatest strengths are the action and the humour. In particular, I really love the climax, which gets my vote for potentially the best train chase in cinema history. Zimmer's score is also great, and very dramatic. The film did go massively over budget, but I think that was a good thing because of just how much of it can be found on screen.
You could cite this as a misguided Pirates of the Caribbean clone, and in some ways there are similarities. But the influences aren't too noticeable, and the film is still a lot of fun. It is something of a shame it never got any sequels, but it stands on its own just fine.

I don't know what the critics' problem is with this film. They call it unimaginative, lacking of plot, and hard to follow...when the truth is, the film is amazingly entertaining, HILARIOUS, and easy to follow. The cast gets better throughout the film as incredible actors/actresses continue to step onto the screen (e.g. Barry Pepper).
The action sequences leave you breathless, on the edge of your seat and begging for more. Hans Zimmer did an incredible job with the score! I went into the film a little skeptical, given all the negative reviews, and perhaps that is what made this film such a pleasant surprise. I loved every minute, though at times it did feel a little long. In the end, however, I didn't want it to end! I haven't seen a film with this combination of comedy, whit, action, plot, did I mention comedy? and enthusiasm.
Is it exactly like the old "Lone Ranger" radio/TV show? NO! If you want that, then go watch it! THIS Lone Ranger is up-to-date and gives Tonto an actual personality and background that plays well into the story.
Great movie to see on the 4th of July weekend. Be sure to check it out, and never mind what the lame critics have said about it, for their own reasoning that is just NOT in accordance with what this film is really like.

Just got back from seeing it and we were thoroughly entertained. Depp and Hammer were fantastic in their roles and the action was over the top, as expected. Be advised, this film is told from Tonto's point of view based on his recollections of what transpired. This is not an Oscar contender, nor was it ever intended to be, but it is a great popcorn flick. It is violent in certain scenes and may not be suitable for smaller children, but for adults and tweens, it is about right. I did think that the first 10-15 mins or so were a little too slap-sticky for me, but once it gets going, it gets good. To all of the naysayers out there, what did you think you were going to see? It is essentially a western Pirates of the Caribbean, and Depp portrayed his character with the usual humorous persona he always does.
The early signs were not good, tales of production problems galore and early critical notices wading in to kick the film before it had even had a run at the theatres. The Lone Ranger seemed destined to be a blockbuster stinker. Yet in spite of it noticeably alienating original Lone Ranger purists, and some Western lovers as well, for a rollicking action fun packed time then Gore Verbinski's movie delivers in spades.
It's awash with the serial silliness of adventure films and TV shows of yore, pitching good guys against bad guys with buddy buddy shenanigans pulsing away at the core. The stunts are outrageously enjoyable, the landscape photography as beautiful as it is respectful in homage to past masters of the Western genre, while in Depp's Tonto there's a bona fide hero to root for just as much as he makes you laugh out loud.
This is an origin story, a tale of how John Reid (Armie Hammer) became The Lone Ranger, and of course how the noble steed Silver and Indian side-kick Tonto became integral to his villain fighting ways. Tom Wilkinson and William Fitchner file in for polar opposite villain duties, the former is the weasel business man trying to mould the West in is own image, the latter a repugnant psychopath with a penchant for eating human hearts! Then Helena Bonham Carter wanders in from some Grindhouse movie for a couple of cameos that are resplendent with sexual energy.
It's all very wacky and wild, and rightly so, but this is not at the expense of very good story telling. Some parts of the narrative could have been trimmed, but as the bromance builds between our two heroes, and Silver gets up to all sorts of comedy horse escapades, there's nary a dull moment here. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Verbinski throw all the action staples into the pot. Chases, fights, swinging from ropes, shoot-outs, people dangling from speeding train (pic is bookended by awesome train sequences), grisly deaths and on it goes from start to end.
There's caustic asides to the machinations of organisations of the time, from railroad magnates to the cavalry, while the catchphrases and legends of The Lone Ranger TV series are deftly inserted into the tale. It was interesting to see Depp come out and defend the movie against those damning early critic reviews, it's not something he does, being as he is very much a guy who sees acting as just a job. Bruckheimer, Hammer and Verbinski backed Depp up, stating that some reviews were written before the film had even been released, the big budget and production problems clearly making this a big stinker
Not so, it's certainly not flawless, and those seriously into anachronisms are likely to have kittens. But if you haven't seen it yet, if you was put off by the venomous early reviews, then give it a chance, you may just be surprised at just how entertaining it is. It also looks and sounds brilliant on Blu-ray, where repeat viewings even show Hammer to be better than first thought as that masked man. 8.5/10

Lo sapevi?
- QuizIn an interview, Johnny Depp thanked his stunt horse, Scout, for saving his life after a violent fall during filming. After Scout dragged Depp 25 feet, Scout jumped over him to avoid stepping on him. A clip of the fall shows the horse clearly jumping over Depp, and detaching him from the saddle. Depp suffered only minor bruises and scrapes, but says it could have been a lot worse if the horse had stepped on him.
- BlooperTwist-up lipstick was invented in 1923.
- Curiosità sui creditiAfter the main headline credits, a desert landscape appears and the remainder of the credits scroll over a scene of old Tonto walking very slowly into the distance.
