The Lone Ranger Movie Review: | |
| Somewhere, around the hour-and-a-half mark, The Lone Ranger makes the fateful decision not to end. Worse, the movie keeps not-ending for another full hour. Christopher Orr-The Atlantic When it comes to mining boys' adventure stories, defaming pirates may be fair game, but stories about western justice and native Americans? Not so much. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail Who, exactly, was this bipolar oater made for? Peter Howell-Toronto Star Director Gore Verbinski has adopted the more-is-better approach he used in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, crowding the movie with so many extraneous characters and subplots that the film becomes an endurance test. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald A wild, wacky, wide-screen reimagining of the vintage radio serial and TV series, the film - with Armie Hammer in the hat and mask, galloping across Texas righting wrongs, and Depp as his trusty Indian sidekick, Tonto - is an epic good time. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer I mean, no wonder Depp's in disguise. No wonder Hammer wears a mask. Wouldn't you? Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Clearly they are trying to turn Tonto into another Captain Jack Sparrow, but it doesn't work. Daniel M. Kimmel-New England Movies Weekly Most of us know the short and sweet Clayton Moore/Jay Silverheels TV version, but Gore Verbinski -- as he proved in Pirates of the Caribbean -- can't do anything quickly. Gary Wolcott-Tri-City Herald ...the coin is spent on the action sequences, which don't get better than the spectacular train setpiece that opens the film...But in the middle? Maybe they should have done another rewrite... Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist You ought to provide the audience with someone to root for, and this lumbering screenplay offers nothing but lamebrains... Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks the anarchic, over-the-top third act feels pretty forced ... not surprising for a Pirates sequel dressed up in western wear. Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us A mean-spirited, misguided, overlong time-waster whose description as "popcorn" fare is fittingly appropriate, as it's an aggressively unhealthy substitute for more intellectually and emotionally nourishing entertainment. Todd Gilchrist-Comic Book Resources At one point in the movie, the Lone Ranger is dragged through manure, which begs for comment. But it's self-explanatory. Tony Macklin-tonymacklin.net I'm all for senseless violence in movies, but there is so much death and destruction going on here, you start to wish something nice would happen for once. Phil Villarreal-COEDMagazine.com Certain audience members will enjoy this Lone Ranger but it's style over substance that fails to elevate the series in any meaningful (or particularly exciting) way. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant It's as obsessive and overbearing as Steven Spielberg's "1941"-and, I'll bet, as likely to be re-evaluated twenty years from now, and described as "misunderstood." Matt Zoller Seitz-RogerEbert.com Unfortunately, the director's only good decision in this bloated action movie is his choice of when to use the William Tell Overture on the soundtrack. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice The Lone Ranger stokes the legend but its smoke signals only add to the haze. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle "The Lone Ranger" certainly won't revive the western genre. Move along, little doggie. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers At one time, the Lone Ranger's appeal was simple, but this movie seems to be doing everything possible to obscure it. Josh Bell-Las Vegas Weekly [Verbinski] crams as much big-budget exhilaration into his movie as its origin story will permit, creating a film less about its namesake as it is large-scale action sequences, explosions, and CGI stunts. Kirk Baird-Toledo Blade Occasionally entertaining but overlong and overly violent. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media "'The Lone Ranger' takes forever to get to its final destination" Josep Parera-La Opinion | |
