The Texas Rangers chase down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish, but the gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
I was thrilled when I read there was actually going to be a new, big-budget Lone Ranger film, especially since the last attempt at this franchise failed so badly. However, I was a little reluctant when I also read that Johnny Depp was to portray Tonto. Don't get me wrong, he's an exceptional actor BUT, he's also very eccentric.Your first sign of trouble is when "Tonto" gets top billing over the lead, not good. If you are thinking about watching this movie-don't. I tried every which way to like this movie and just flat out couldn't. "Tonto" practically spends the entire movie making the "Lone Ranger" look like a complete idiot. There's nothing romantic about the movie or anything that made us love this classic hero and his faithful sidekick, which, by the way, this movie centers around. This was obviously ego-driven. Adding insult to injury, the movie lost millions. There are some good moments, the story has potential, but every time there seemed to be a chance the movie would get better throughout, it took a turn for the worse. It insulted the legacy of this beloved character(Lone Ranger), it also insulted my intelligence.
The story is told as a flashback from 1933 with an aged Tonto (Johnny Depp) being a circus Indian attraction. In this saga, the Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) is a straight, rather green marshal who seeks justice and revenge for the death of his brother. He is the reluctant partner of Tonto whose "mind is broken." The two form a comedy duo as they go after the bad guys.The plot was secondary to the characters. The film was enjoyable, but not entertaining enough to sit comfortably for over two hours. I felt I sat there for 2 hours of character and plot build-up for one lone climatic William Tell Overture scene. The film lacked a certain cohesion and contained anachronisms. For instance the Sears watch given to a young Tonto prior to 1868 was impossible as the first Sears watch sold was 1886.Great popcorn film. Don't expect an epic. We do find out what Kemosabe means and it was not what my mother told me (king of s***), although Tonto could have lied. There was one scene which could have vindicated mom.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Brothel scene.
This movie consisted of 3 train wrecks.One at the beginning, one at the end.and a 2 hour one in between them.If it weren't for some decent special effects, it wouldn't be worth talking about.By far, worst rendition of The Lone Ranger ever made.
This movie was hated by critics and audiences and i remember when i went to see it i was expecting to hate it but when i got out of the theater i was satisfied. Let's talk about the story: It's about this Texas Ranger who's brother was killed in an ambush and he joins forces with an Indian to take out the man who killed his brother.Pros The Acting was solid especially Armie Hammer and Johnny Deep The Action scenes were fantastic and well made The Cinematography was really well shot and well directed The Ambientation felt like the old west with every clothing and manners This movie took some really dark themes i wasn't expecting in a Disney movie like Greed,Corruption and the Hunger for Power.Cons The movie was too long 150 minutes The Scenes with Helena Bonham Carter could had been taken out (Spoiler) The 1933 scenes with Tonto and the Kid could had been removed from the film Half of the second act felt really dragged out until(Spoiler) They find the bad guyVerdict: Is not a terrible movie as most people say it is heck i would even say is a really entertaining movie so i would give it a 7.5/10 for me it's worth watching at least once.
