What a waste of my time!!!

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

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.

Listen - up. Some of us have waited for the Western Genre to have a comeback ~ and hopefully more historically correct for Natives and Blacks. This was far from even a hint of come-back but it was SOMETHING WESTERN at least! Let's face it. The original was hoaky too. And corny and all of that. It had all the earmarks of Hollywood of the time ~ as in hoof beats on a hollow sound-stage floor, phoney back-drops, the same local scene re-used ad nausium. Jay Silverheels and CLayton Moore were as stiff and wooden and un-western as Luke and Nathaniel in this 'younger years' version. LOL Don't take it seriously, i mean it has a modern rock soundtrack and machine sewn pin-strip shirts for gawds sake ha ha ha ... just sit back and enjoy the tale and the nostalgic trip to your childhood if you're old enough. It's a fun made-for-TV-movie that is surely DVD worthy perhaps with a few of the half hour originals as as Special Features And Interviews with both cast of old and new.

I was shocked and amazed to discover that, at the the time I wrote this review, the 2003 WB TV version of "The Lone Ranger" actually had a respectable rating here on the IMDB. This movie was the worst kind of dreck imaginable - "Plan 9 From Outer Space" bad.That said, it's a must see for anyone who enjoys bad movies. This could have been one of the best episodes of "Mystery Science Theater 3000". I saw it on tape, and there were times when had to pause it for up to five minutes because I was laughing too hard at supposedly dramatic moments to hear what happened next.

Good acting, good action sequences, good comraderie--this just might add up to something. If the first episode is indicative what the rest of the series has in store, then I'll be tuning in. Chad Murray has that playful and spiritual quality that not only makes a star but which, more importantly, makes a good actor. Some good casting and VERY GOOD cinematography are going to make this a very watchable and compelling show. So far-thumbs UP!
