Purely Joyful Movie!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

...you can't really go wrong.This version of a classic story line is so stupid and silly that is actually entertaining. If Johnny Depp had input on some of the dialog, it explains why some of the prat falls are so ridiculous...I would say he did a passable, if a bit dumb, job as Tonto. We see his background through flashbacks, so the dead crow with a broken neck gets explained...and the mysterious Gold watch as well, although we have to wait til the end to see the connection...This was supposed to be a vehicle for Johnny, but frankly the horse becomes the prank star right from the beginning. How can ya not love a horse that can climb trees, and gallop across roof tops, heh heh...Yes, this was fun, AND dumb at the same time...

An interesting take on the Lone Ranger story with the lead character being Tonto played by Johnny Depp.Some of it has great humour and is fun to watch and some of it has great special effects and is stunning to watch.But much of it is just nasty - the film doesn't seem sure where to tread the line between being likable and just being horrible. Many films manage to make the bad guys bad but the film still fun but this one misses that target by a mile for a lot of scenes.The entire end section is fabulous - dramatic, special effects and stunts and a lot of fun. Wish the rest of the film had been as well made.A big let down on what it could have been

The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp is the story of tonto and the lone ranger and their adventure. I am pretty vague about it since no spoilers. The good stuff : The acting was generally good , I loved Johnny and the villain. Pacing was all right. Direction was normal, nothing extraordinary. The bad stuff: the film is too long . It gets boring after a while . However it was a good movie .

The plot line about how The Lone ranger and Tonto came about is perfectly acceptable and hasn't be altered very much at all from the original source .I enjoyed most of the Film once I got used to the quirky portrayal of Tonto by Johhny Depp. It seems that if a movie tries to have a plot line, tries to have a dialogue , few explosions, no nudity, NO cute little cartoon creatures, {that can be sold to kids on many products} has actors that have lived in faces, rather than plump crew-cut college looking dream boats, what appears to be the case now is that very many of the audience are mystified and have oh so short attention spans. I wonder what today's audiences have made of The African Queen, and Bad day at Black Rock,or even One flew over the Cuckoo's nest ?????????????????
