The Lone Ranger

haven't seen it, trailers looked great, but its getting panned by everyone it seems

I've heard mixed reviews about it.  Some people have liked it and some not.  I'm a big Johnny Depp fan (everything except for Edward Scissorhand, that is).  I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD so I can see it and add it to my collection.  I very rarely go to the movie theater to see movies.  I'd much rather wait for them to come out on DVD.  You can buy the DVD much cheaper than going to see it at the theater and you can watch it as many times as you would like to!

I saw it, did you like it? I thought it was okay but didn't love it.

I don't like to go to movies so I'll wait tell it come on dvd or tv.

I think this is the kind of film that benefits from seeing it on the big screen.The music and visuals probably won't make the same impact at home.(Unless of course,you have an expensive home theater system. ) So,I'd make the effort if you have an interest,to see it in the theater.

I have seen the clips on it, It looks sought of stupid to me.

I'll probably wait until it comes out on blue ray dvd and watch it as many times as I want.

I saw a this movie, (promo DVD) and I will offer this comment or two. First of all, this movie is probably NOT what most people expect it to be. That is it is in no way a 're-telling' of the radio/TV Lone Ranger story. That said, it IS a COMEDY, in the truest since of the term.

Johnny Depp, as Tonto, plays a terrific part, clichéd in every way with the stereotypical terse speakings of an 'injun'. He portrays his role masterfully. Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger really serves more as a foil for Tonto to play off of. The story line is a good one, as long as one is not looking for the ordinary portrayal most are use to as the Lone Ranger Character.

I love this film, I think it is going to be a 'sleeper' because of the reviews it is receiving. It will fall short of what the critics anticipated as to box office draw and the story line itself. That in no way will diminish this as a great film in a genre of its own making.

If you go to this film with an open mind, and have an appreciation for satire and comedy I think you will have a great experience. If you are looking for a Lone Ranger super hero akin to Bat Man or Spider Man of the wild west, you are going to be disappointed.

It takes an appreciation of subtle attentions to catch all this film offers, basically it will need to be seen at least twice to catch it all. That being said, it might be best enjoyed once you can either download it to own or get the DVD.

I haven't seen it - anxious to hear the reports from others before I spend my money.  Movies are so expensive now days.

   I can't wait to see it.  I have loved everything that Johnny Depp does.   It had gotten mixed reviews, but if you don't see it because of the critics, you miss a lot of excellent movies.

Well I finally saw the Lone Ranger and I had heard the critics gave it a very bad review.  I on the other hand enjoyed.  I did find it campy and if you view it from a comedy perspective you will enjoy it.  If you attempt to view it as serious show like the tv series, you will be disappointed.  It had a lot of action and good special effects and it was very funny, especially Tonto who is played by Johnny Depp.

How could Johnny Depp ever lose his star power?  IMHO that could never happen. 

[vickysue]

I have not seen it and i don't think i will. The promo of it are awful. Johnny Depp  is way out of his depth on this. I have never seen an indian of the olden days with their picture painted like that. And he can't even walk the stuff. In other words he walks like he has something stuck up somewhere. It can only be a comedy. I have met the original Lone Ranger and Tonto. and believe me these guys can't hold a candle to them.

Anyone seen The Lone Ranger's new movie yet?It's starring Johnny Depp & Armie Hammer.I'm going to check it out tonight.I'll give you my review later.

Looks like a really good on. Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. He is always good! Looking forward to seeing it when it goes to video. Can't afford to go to the theater, so I will just have to wait. I wonder if there will be any new stuff about the Lone Ranger that hasn't been on the old black&white episodes?

I've just come back from seeing it and overall,I liked it.There is some goofball stuff that was probably unnecessary,but I enjoyed it.I won't give any spoilers,but the big action finish with the William Tell Overture was worth the price of admission alone.  

Thanks for your reaction to it.  My hubby and I were speaking of maybe going ahead and watching it.
