The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger was one of my most anticipated movies this year. Did it live up to the hype? Sort of...

This was a fun movie that had some really good parts. If you like Pirates of the Carribean, this movie is along the same lines. It's the same kind of humorous action we see in those movies. 

I loved the memories of my childhood watching Tonto, the Lone Ranger, and of course Silver. The movie even uses the William Tell Overture in the final action sequence. It's sad that listening to the music now makes the movie seem campy, but I loved the faithfulness to the original. I also enjoyed the Princess Bride style of storytelling. 

The movie isn't great, but it's fun. I laughed and enjoyed the action. It was everything I wanted from it. There is some after credits stuff, but you can leave when you see Tonto start wandering through the desert. 

+ Memories of my childhood 
- A bit corny
+ Fun action
- I stayed the entire time watching Johnny Depp walk through the desert

Overall score: 79 (Passing)
