The Lone Ranger Movie Review: | |
| Your expectations of how bad The Lone Ranger is can't trump the reality. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone 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 It's all weighed down further by a drippy title character who wants to be anything but the title character. Eric D. Snider-EricDSnider.com Mostly handsome, it sounds terrific, and when it wants to be exhilarating, it knows how to be; but the story is an epic disaster of bloat and confusion. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy A film that is at once divinely silly, surprisingly deep and deceptively complex. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) A fresh look at the Lone Ranger legend with Johnny Depp outstanding as Tonto. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com There's a solid story in here somewhere, but sadly it's suffocated under layers and layers of overindulgence. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com If you can embrace the easy-going spectacle of it all and its general respect for the Lone Ranger legacy, you'll probably enjoy it. Matt Neal-The Standard The Lone Ranger is a film that doesn't know what it wants to be. Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Just as important as what Gore Verbinski's gleefully post-modern Western isn't, is what it is. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Each decade gets the western it deserves. For our time we get the very essence of soulless corporate excess and celebrity self-regard. Nell Minow-Beliefnet Too long, too weird and too darn tootin' unfunny. Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground I expected a mess of epic proportions, in many ways it is (almost any scene with Depp in it), but it is bold, visionary, and truly a unique piece of blockbuster filmmaking. Michelle Alexandria-Eclipse Magazine Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer project a humorous chemistry with each other while portraying Tonto and the Lone Ranger. But Silver runs away with this rollicking Western action comedy. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews The good bits are like the seeds that end up on the bottom of bird cages, tasty tidbits momentarily visible before getting covered in crap. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing I laughed, I had fun, but there is something annoyingly non-committal about the direction and tone. And why not just call it "Tonto" and be done with it? Who are we kidding? Tim Martain-The Mercury Yes, there's a cloud of dust. Yes, there's a hearty 'Hi-yo, Silver!' And yes, there's a marvelous chase scene to the 'William Tell Overture.' But it takes a long, long time before 'The Lone Ranger' transitions into the iconic masked lawman. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) A complete tonal disaster and one of the goofiest attempts at trying to execute a western with an action/adventure aesthetic Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie It begins and ends with a bang. Too bad the fuse fizzled out somewhere in the middle.This could have been the best film of the summer with some simple tinkering. But as it stands, it's just an okay movie with some spectacular action. Austin Kennedy-Film Geek Central Despite the padding, "The Lone Ranger" moves extremely well, capturing many of the qualities that made "Pirates of the Caribbean" so much fun. Jeffrey M. Anderson-San Francisco Examiner Disney spent over $200 million to prove The Lone Ranger is too old-fashioned for such a newfangled, smart-aleck world. Mark Keizer-Boxoffice Magazine | |
