I have read and heard many bad reviews about this film, so I decided to see it for myself and give it a try. And I must say I don't regret it. It is not the usual western, it's funny! It's more like a comedy in a western costume because it has all the ingredients, bandits, native americans, chinese, silver mines, heroes, villains, beautiful women and of course The Lone Ranger and not to forget Tonto! whose presence makes the film with Johnny Depp playing the role in a most magnificent manner. One can wonder, there has been many films about these two caracters and no one has ever had this fantastic concept of Tonto. It is only the genius of Depp that has had the fantasy and imagination, not to say courage to play Tonto this way. You have to see it to beleive it!

When Gore Verbinski's modern version of "The Lone Ranger" got released pretty much all the critics panned it. Watching it I got the feeling that more than anything it was a look at a shift from optimism to cynicism. John Reid (Armie Hammer) sees the law as 100% honest, and finding out that the opposite is true prompts him to become the rebellious title character.
Of course, Johnny Depp as Tonto steals the show. His campy performance as the Comanche seeking to avenge the murder of his people IS the movie. I also liked Helena Bonham Carter's brothel madam. My criticism of the movie is that the action scenes are overdone and come across as cartoonish. Then again, the movie is probably supposed to be cartoonish. More than anything it's a fun movie, affirming Johnny Depp as probably the most interesting actor of his generation. I'm going to have to watch the old TV series now.

I don't get movies like this. I mean, they got everything but the story. Is 'nt anyone during the writing process say "hey, you know what, lets keep the quality of the writing, as good as the actors and the rest of the production". I mean, the movie goes on good for a while but then it just gets dragged out forever without anything actually happening at all. We were a couple of friends sitting and watching this movie and we started it with a great enthusiasm but I realized, by the half of the movie everyone was talking about anything except the movie. I would say, go and watch the movie but you have to have great patience and even with that much patience the end isn't satisfying at all
