The Lone Ranger (2:29) 2013

The Lone Ranger is getting terrible reviews, and while I  agree with some of the criticisms, it really is an entertaining movie. Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger are good as the crime fighting duo. Johnny Depp is an excellent Tonto as the story unfolds through his eyes. The main drawback was the gory violence that Cavendish commits. The movie is long - two and a half hours - but covers a lot of ground including how John Reid became the Lone Ranger and Tonto's previous unknown boyhood story. I wasn't crazy with the opening scene which takes place in 1936. I was absolutely thrilled with the ending when William Tell's Overture was played - it took me back to my childhood watching Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels on the 1950s weekly television show. Hi Ho Silver, and Away.

  1. The Lone Ranger rides again with this big-budget Walt Disney Pictures production starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the famed gunman. The story centers on Tonto's recollection of the adventures that found lawman John Reid transformed into The Lone Ranger, legendary hero of the Old West.
