I liked very much. Depp is in top form. Hammer grows on you overtime and makes a great Ranger IMO. Overall, if you liked Pirates of the Caribbean, then you'll surely like this. A long film (149mins), but I never found myself getting bored or restless. Top entertainment all around. 9/10 from me.

What this movie suffers from is being too LONG. Though, despite that, I can't say all of it was boring. The final train sequence made it worth sitting through. Great VFX work by ILM! And not to mention Depp shining in a role that was obviously made for him. This is a movie I wouldn't actively recommend to someone, yet I wouldn't object if someone wanted to watch it. In other words, not a bad movie, but not a memorable one either.

It’s not as bad as they say. The action is pretty well done for one. The movie just didn’t need old Tonto (Johnny Depp) telling the story. That to me is the worst aspect of it.

There's been a lot of hatred, almost venom, spewed at "The Lone Ranger". I personally stayed away because I didn't want to see a Western version of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Well, I could only stay away for so long and I did get a "Pirates" western. But you know, maybe I didn't know I needed to see one. The opening totally threw me for a loop. A little boy, wearing a Lone Ranger mask, visits a carnival with an old West area featuring a wax figure of "The Noble Savage". This savage turns out to be the real life but ancient Tonto. The movie often cuts back to old Tonto, who is telling the boy the story of The Lone Ranger. I enjoyed this method of telling the story. The old Tonto was creepy, though. Speaking of Tonto, he's played by Johnny Depp, and he is totally off the rails (no pun intended). Depp is a joy to watch. His Tonto is a smart but insane and smart-assed take on the legend. Depp is hilarious. However, the Lone Ranger himself, played by Armie Hammer, is not nearly as appealing. He is the ying to Depp's yang, but the character is too clumsy and unskilled as a lawman to really enjoy. I know he's supposed to be, but it didn't work for me. The beginning and ending action scenes both feature runaway trains and they are spectacular, especially the final multi-train climax which features the William Tell Overture in all its glory. "The Lone Ranger" is mostly a comedy but there are some disturbing moments like genocide and cannibalism that give the movie an edge. It's really an odd combo platter, but it made it a real kick to watch. The thing is much too long, though. The story meanders when there's absolutely no reason to. It's hard to grade "The Lone Ranger". I was surprised at how much it entertained me, it's just that I'm certain it's really not a very good movie. Depp and the great bookend action scenes are its greatest assets.

Awesome. Although i would've liked a bit more controversy.
