I became a huge fan of the Lone Ranger TV show and expected the movie to be just like it. I was wrong.
This movie felt like a typical western movie rather than a film adaptation of the TV show.
Tonto, played by Johnny Depp, was insulting to Native Americans and the character from the show. Armie Hammer could have worked as the Lone Ranger if the character was written correctly, which it wasn't.
In all, this was a rip off that should have been better and more faithful to the show.

The Longer Ranger Is a movie starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, and William Fichtner. Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice. Despite a very well known and solid cast of talented actors, great make up and very good special effects and cgi 'The Longe Ranger' feels more like 'A Pirates of the Caribbean' film than what it should be and don't get me wrong i love that Franchise but this movie needed it to be it's own thing and it wasn't. Hammer was really boring, Depp was totally miscasted and the running time of 150 minutes was way way long for a film made by Disney let's admit it. (4/10)

Little late to the party on this one, I accept, but maybe the TV experience will be slightly kinder than the harsh glare of the cinema screen on this notorious flop from a few years back. The answer.... not really. It's still an overlong, vaguely racist, horribly predictable, second rate action-adventure. Armie Hammer plays John Reid a pacifist district attorney who joins his brother's posse to help track down notorious murdered Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) and his gang. When the posse is betrayed, Reid's brother is killed and he is left for dead. He's restored by Silver, a Native American spirit horse and Tonto (Johnny Depp) who then forms a reluctant partnership with Reid and in going after Cavendish, they discover a larger conspiracy. There are a couple of reasons why "The Lone Ranger" doesn't really work. Much of the blame was landed at Johnny Depp's feet, as this was right around the time opinion turned on him and to be fair, much of that here is justified. Though spending some of the running time in awful "old man" make up doesn't help, the film never really settles on who "Tonto" is. At times he's possessing "native" insight and wisdom, at others he blunders around taking pratfalls and "feeding" the dead crow on his head, sadly, most of the time, he's just irritating.But those tonal problems roll out to the rest of the film too. It veers wildly between high farce and mild horror. Various scenes of slaughtered Indian Villages, and of Cavendish removing and eating Reid's brother's heart don't mesh well with the ladder riding pratfalls of the films climactic scenes. There are odd character choices too, such as the decision to make Reid in love with his brother's wife. . as if somehow he wouldn't be as motivated to save his brothers widow and his nephew if he wasn't also in in love with her. The reveal of the extra villain at the end was very underwhelming, if you can't work it out from the names on the poster, then you really haven't seen enough movies. The final action scene is a really good one, with a train split into several carriages that then traverses numerous crossing tracks that are (inexplicably) all going in the same direction, but unfortunately it's too little, too late, to justify the horrendous running time.

All right folks, I need to tell that this was a mixture movie. Those who go to watch this movie for only entertainment might encounter a few cruel scenes or scenes touching the reality of the time. They may be upset. Those who go to watch a real story and do not expect protagonists escaping dangers miraculously might find a few miraculous escapes. They may be upset.My recommendation is to be very open when going to watch this movie. And if you are you most likely will see many folkloric events proceeding one another.The plot is predictable and the flow is somewhat long, but the real fun is in between. Good acting, good effects, positive atmosphere with a touch of reality here and there. These will make you continuously exchange between smile and thoughtfulness.
