O Cavaleiro Solitário

This is a very light, made for TV movie. Much better than the campy original TV show. But fans of the original TV show will obviously not enjoy this particular. movie.

If you were born in the 1980s or above, you'll enjoy this up to date take on the Lone Ranger.

Personally I quite liked the relationship shown between Lone Ranger and Tonto (it seemed much more even than the original show) in this movie. It could have been easily called "Tonto and the Lone Ranger".

Of course it doesn't hurt that both the Lone Ranger and Tonto are extremely hot guys, so they're not exactly hard on the eyes. It's unfortunate that this show didn't get turned into a TV series, but if you want a light hearted movie that's going to be a-okay for the whole family, you can't go wrong with this movie.

I watched this expecting the worst, and was actually mildly pleased. This movie is certainly an improvement over the 1981 disaster Legend of The Lone Ranger. My biggest disappointment was that the lead, though competent, is just too young to carry the role. On the other hand, he's perfect for WB's target audience, the young adult crowd. And of course, this film has "Pilot" written all over it.

That said, there were some changes I didn't quite get. Like, why did they change the Lone Ranger's name? "John Reed" becomes "Luke Hartman"? And where are the silver bullets? I mean, come on!

Oh - and who knew that 19th century Apache women were so skilled in the use of eyebrow pencils, eyeshadow, foundation and lip liner? History lessons can be fun, I guess.

The only redeeming quality about this "movie" is the depiction of Tonto as a self assured warrior with leadership abilities. Outside of this one aspect, the rest of the movie was nothing more than a poorly written insult to the history of the Lone Ranger.

While not the first adaptation to get the name wrong, the fact that they change the name from John Reid to Luke Hartman tells you just how little respect the writers have for the character. On top of that, you get a scrawny kid who doesn't even shave yet to play the part? He better be a crack shot, cause there's no way he survives in a hand-to-hand fight.

Bad acting, bad writing, silly action sequences, and a complete lack of respect for the story make for a completely worthless movie. And just to add insult to injury, they have to mangle the William Tell Overture? While a few teenage girls might enjoy this as eye-candy, it lacks any actual quality to make it worth watching.

This is a wonderful movie. We watch it every Thanksgiving. It is a great prequel. This feels so much more accurate than any other version I have seen. The characters are well written and although the main actors are a bit young and green, they are playing iconic characters who are at this point still young and green. There is a lot of emotional and cultural reality to the script. If you want your preteens to be inspired, this will do the trick! But us oldsters can really enjoy it too! I find the story moving every time I watch it. And when William Telk's Overture plays at the end I get goose bumps.

I loved this movie! It is something I hadn't planned on watching, but I am glad I did. I want to see how everything unravels. IT was great and left me wanting to see more. Nathaniel Arcand did an excellent job as Tonto. The story of The Lone Ranger has been a favorite of mine, since I was a little girl and watched the cartoon Every Saturday morning. This definitely will live up to the WB standards, a channel I love.
