Somewhat dreading this movie after having heard nothing but negative things about it, I was almost about to pass up on watching it. But still, I decided to give it a go, as Johnny Depp usually manages to make anything watchable.
And now having seen "The Lone Ranger", I must admit that I am glad that I did sit down to watch it. This was indeed like taking a trip back to being a little boy, running about outside while playing cowboys and Indians. There was just something very nostalgic to this movie, and it worked out so well.
I just have a very vague memory of the Lone Ranger character from when I was a kid, so I really have no particular connection to the story, the characters or the background story for this.
Watch the movie for what it is, a wonderful western adventure, mixed up with just the right amount of action and comedy. And the story told in the movie was enjoyable and there was a good, continuous flow to it.
Ignore all the bad reviews and the critics on this one, and do yourself a favor and sit down to watch this. If you grew up playing cowboys and Indians, then you definitely don't want to miss out on this one.
The cast in "The Lone Ranger" was actually quite good, lots of great names. Johnny Depp really carried the movie here with his performance as Tonto. Much can be said about the eccentricity of the character and any possible resemblances to the Jack Sparrow character, but who cares? He did a great job here. And also a big tip of the cowboy hat to William Fichtner, playing Butch Cavendish. He was so well-cast for this particular role.
With a feature length of 149 minutes, it might seem somewhat long. But time flies by while watching "The Lone Ranger", because you get so caught up in the storyline and there is a good fast pace to the movie.
