Watch The Lone Ranger For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Pretty Good

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

When it was announced that the Mouse House would adapt this classic radio drama, it was a strange but possibly compelling project. After all, Armie Hammer from "The Social Network" was tapped for the title role and Johnny Depp would costar alongside him with Gore Verbinski in the director's chair. However when production issues becoming making the headlines, this was a warning sign of potential failure but we continued to hold out hope till the release. Ultimately the skeptics weren't entirely wrong to be worried as the film became a massive bomb following the train wreck known as "John Carter". The story is definitely an origin story about how John Reid became the title hero. I won't spoil the main plot as the radio drama delivers a vastly superior tale that is the actual origin and not what Disney's film shows. While the filmmakers do somewhat actually show how John and Tonto meet later in the film's first act, the overall execution is sloppy beyond measure to faithful devotees of the TV series or radio drama. In the lead role of the Lone Ranger, Armie Hammer's compelling talent from his earlier success in David Fincher's "The Social Network" is severely thrown to the wayside. I doubt this is the actor's fault completely because Hammer is one of the finest actors of the new millennium and is more the fault of the writers. The Ranger's legendary bravery is woefully left in the dirt and replaced with ridiculous scenarios that paint him as hapless or needing to rescued unlike his previous incarnates who held their own. While nailing the action sequences and attempting to have chemistry with Depp, the delivery of lines and charm are sorely wasted and is more laughable than engaging.Creating controversy for the film was the decision to cast Johnny Depp as the Native American sidekick, Tonto. The Oscar nominee has claimed he might have Cherokee ancestry, but whether its true or not there is an issue with casting a Caucasian in non-white roles. From Scarlett Johannsson in "Ghost in the Shell" from 2017 to early examples like Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's (playing an Asian man)" to blackface, this is a casting notice that needs to be addressed in Hollywood. While Depp tries to be sensitive, the portrayal by the eccentric actor comes across as cringe-worthy and horribly embarrassing. The writers, like writing the title character, seems to forget the true origins of Tonto from the original programs. As already mentioned, the chemistry between Armie Hammer and Depp is virtually absent unlike Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheel in the original TV show. It's also clear that Disney decided to make it more of the "Johnny Depp movie with the Winklevi twins guy" which misses who the movie should actually be about.The film's sole highlights would have to be its creepy villain played by character actor William Fichtner, the action sequences (obvious where most of the budget went aside from Johnny Depp's salary), stunt work (Armie Hammer learned to ride a horse while shooting a gun on a moving train which is pretty impressive) and the driving score by Oscar winning composer Han Zimmer which includes a great revamp of the original radio and TV show theme (the final movement from the "William Tell Overture"). If only the rest of the film could've been on the same level.

Given that it bombed at the US box office on release, I found THE LONE RANGER a surprisingly enjoyable movie and a nice tribute to the TV series and characters of old. Yes, it's a typically overblown Hollywood blockbuster, all style over substance, and with a running time of no less than two and a half hours it's grossly overlong and padded out with endless action sequences which verge on the tedious at times.Elsewhere, THE LONE RANGER proves fitfully engaging, and features a winning performance from Johnny Depp as the mostly silent Native American sidekick, Tonto. It surprises me to admit that I enjoyed his performance, because I haven't liked much he's made in the last couple of decades, with SWEENEY TODD the only time I really warmed to his character. And I actively dislike his silly overacting in the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise and DARK SHADOWS. Here, he fits the role nicely, and is a real asset.That this film is flawed is a given. Armie Hammer's hero veers on the side of slimy rather than likable, and there's too much of the CGI-enhanced action to entertain audiences. The climax, with all kinds of madcap stunts, explosions, and effects, is a case in point. I'd much prefer a film which is more grounded in reality, but the trend for outlandish, incessant CGI puts paid to that kind of thing. Still, for a modern-day Disney film, THE LONE RANGER isn't bad at all, and certainly better than many rival productions that are lauded by audiences (THE HUNGER GAMES series, for instance).

A painfully unfunny wraparound story of Tonto, in the 1930s, maybe, narrating this story, his memoir, basically bookending this preposterously overlong, overcomplicated to the point of absurdity western/ comedy/ SciFi, taking place decades earlier...I can barely think clearly after this one.I like Armie Hammer, I have ever since I saw him in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and I (usually) like Johnny Depp as well, but they are given the most oddball screenplay to work with here, as the film veers wildly from western genre, to zany slapstick, and I kept getting a science fiction vibe in a lot of the scenes, as there was so much of an overuse of CGI.The comedy elements are silly and juvenile, and occasionally tasteless (why do we see a horse taking a dump, only to see Hammer dragged through it?) and the action never looks real, the story lacks any sense of adventure, and I couldn't help wonder why we, as an audience, should care about any of this?I give it a 4/ 10, again, just because I like Hammer and Depp, and because the film does have some impressive looking cinematography in desert southwest, when it isn't drowning in CGI.

The plot line about how The Lone ranger and Tonto came about is perfectly acceptable and hasn't be altered very much at all from the original source .I enjoyed most of the Film once I got used to the quirky portrayal of Tonto by Johhny Depp. It seems that if a movie tries to have a plot line, tries to have a dialogue , few explosions, no nudity, NO cute little cartoon creatures, {that can be sold to kids on many products} has actors that have lived in faces, rather than plump crew-cut college looking dream boats, what appears to be the case now is that very many of the audience are mystified and have oh so short attention spans. I wonder what today's audiences have made of The African Queen, and Bad day at Black Rock,or even One flew over the Cuckoo's nest ?????????????????
