I think Johnny Depp ‘Tonto’ getup turns a lot of Lone Ranger fans off. I for one have no desire to see this movie.
Dep spends the entire movie with a DEAD BIRD on his head! What did Depp and Disney think was going to happen?
I knew nothing of this production but since one of the characters is a minority I couldn’t doubt that he was the engine of the team and that the guy in the mask was along for the ride. I still don’t know much about the movie but I haven’t yet heard a review that focuses on the ‘lone ranger’ at all. One reviewer called it ‘Captain Sparrow is an Injun’.
I saw a short clip of the making of the movie. It was pretty lame.
I saw it, at the cheap morning matinee. I thought it was good. Not great, but good.
We’re going to see it tonight.
I saw the movie with my family last night and enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a farce, similar to the Pirates of Caribbean. Johnny Depp is a powerful presence whenever he is on a movie screen, but the Lone Ranger was not underplayed. If you are looking for two and half hours of laughs and excitement, this is a good movie. If you want a drama with a lasting message, it is not. I will say, being over 50, when the William Tell Overture kicks in about two hours into the movie,it was like a flashback to my youth. So, my short review; fun, laughs, exciting, beautiful scenery, great effects and poignant ending. That is all.
...That said ... I encourage every human being on the face of the earth to go and spend their money at theaters, watch cable TV, and buy DVD/Blurays because it pays my bills LOL.
How about bringing back some original well-written scripts and solid, heart-grabbing acting, and cut down on the computer generated images about 95%?
It was good.
Sorry!
Beautiful scenery, which I admit drew me as I have visited the very scenes shown in Utah, Colorado, Texas, Arizona.----outstanding cinematogrphy.
I would not bring kids younger than 12....(but that's just me)
I wanted to like it for a lot of reasons....also as the leading lady ( British actress Ruth Wilson) is my favorite Jane Eyre....and she was quite good in this movie.
I found Depp ridiculous (but maybe that's where he was aiming).....
One of the best parts is the ending which was quite fun, including the William Tell Overture.
I don't think it will do well at the box office.....word of mouth should deter folks, imo.
It just didn't reach the level of 'great movie, must see'...in my opinion.
went to see Copperhead today.
Great movie about the War of Northern Aggression
Most people don’t with to see a movie about Captain Jack Tonto and his inept sidekick.
It’s summer; the kids are home from school; “G” and “PG” movies tend to pull high ratings when the young ones are out of school; and besides, the young and digital-annimation fans of all ages (like myself) make an existing big fan base for Despicable Me 2, ever since the original Despicable Me.
I like Depp as an actor who likes to be different, but his Pirates of the Carribean group has not been among my favorites for him. If his Lone Ranger reminds me too much of those roles I will not likely be a fan of this one either.
As an old guy who grew up hearing and seeing Jay Silverheels as Tonto in practically every species of Lone Ranger ever produced, I have a hard time imagining anyone else in the role, maybe especially Johnny Depp - Edward Scissorhands/some pirate as Tonto - I think not.....
