The Lone Ranger - Review

Going in to this film, I was not expecting the most out of it considering the average previews released for it.  I’ll start off that Johnny Depp absolutely stole the show in this film and did such a great job of playing Tanto.  His superb acting and character really makes the stupid plot semi enjoyable.  The plot is pretty basic which bothered me a tad, a typical wife and kid are in trouble and they need to be rescued.  Imagine this going on for two and half hours, yeah…..hand over that bottle of tequila to me.  Heck make it two bottles.  The length of the movie really was way to long.  Reminded me of “D’Jango Unchained” going on and on.  Armie Hammer who played the Lone Ranger was not a good fit for this role, he appeared to be very skittish and doofy for the role.  It was like throwing Andrew Garfield or Jesse Eisenberg into this role, no Social Network pun intended.  His acting was poor and i thank god Johnny Depp stole the show from him, otherwise this movie could have felt like 6 hours with Hammer’s performance.  The plus of this movie aside from Depp’s great performance, were the visual effects and action sequences.  Both were truly great and a pleasure to watch.

Rating - 2.5/5
