Kiddie movies have a built-in box office bonus...junior wants to go; mom and dad get dragged along. Three ticket sales in the bag. I wonder how these movies would do if parents didn’t have to tag along. (Yes...I realize there are actually some adults that want to see these, as well.)
I saw the last LR movie and I’ll see this one. Big fan of the TV show as a youngster.
I already know I won’t like Pirates of the Lone Ranger.
Can’t we just have a simplier old time western without train hopping and such.
Do we really need a stronger Tonto stealing the scenes. Wasn’t he strong in the series. Do we need a Goth Tonto?
For me the Lone Ranger was Clayton Moore and Tonto was Jay Silverheels. End of story. First Johnny Depp messes with Dark Shadows, now this. He looks like a freak.
I’m wondering why no one made a fuss when Johnny Depp, who thinks he might have Cherokee blood somewhere in his ancestry, plays a fake Indian. Exactly what tribe is he supposed to be from? Apache? Navaho? Commanche?
His thin body is not consistent with these tribes, any more than was Diamond Philipps (a FilAm who played an Indian in the Young guns series).
Yes, I know Hollywood often casts across ethnic lines, but things seem to be getting worse lately. There are a lot of talented American Indian Actors (Canadian Graham Greene for example): Apocolyptico and the movie on the code talkers come in mind.... Or they could have cast a Mexican American actor in the role, since most Mexicans who come to the US are metziso with Indian blood.
At least the original Long Ranger had Jay Silverheel play Tonto...
By PC I guess they mean a really smart minority and a dopey white guy.
Every time they refer to Johnny Depp as "Tonto," they will be saying something like "Hey, Stupid."
I saw Despicable Me 2 today and LOVED it..gotta love those adorable little Minions..the theater was packed, every screen playing it was packed. I checked out the screen playing The Lone Ranger and hardly anyone was there, but this was in the afternoon so maybe the evening rush more will come and see it
I won’t see the Lone Ranger. I can’t understand why in the previews Depp gets top billing as Tonto when it’s supposed to be about the ranger.
And yes, Depp looks ridiculous as Tonto.
Despicable Me 2 has a distinct advantage that The Lone Ranger does not.
It is, by most accounts, an entertaining movie.
muwahahaha
More garbage I can ignore.
I saw it. It was not a very good movie. And yes it was politically correct...
when I saw that idiot depp with a bird on his head I knew the movie was DOA
