Saw Lone Ranger tonight (Review, minor spoilers)

[valet]

Saw an advance screening and if the lines are for the advance screening are indication, this will be huge hit. It was the same way for Furious 6. But will it be a hit with audience? Well, it's def. not your parents Lone Rangers.

Tanto, played by Depp is what you expect. A buffoon character who's smart but makes it seem like a parody film. The Lone Ranger dude is sorta "Batman-esque" where he has a code of not killing people but more about bringing people to justice. That's cool but I'm not used to Lone Ranger being this naive. The villain who's name is Butch, did a good job at his role. A pretty smart villain, who lives up to his name, "Butch" as yall will see.

Now, the costumes are dope. Wouldn't be surprised if they get nominated for that. Really did a good job in getting you back in that time. The scenery was dope as well especially the desert scenes. Dope camera work.

As I stated earlier Tanto was your typical Depp buffoon. And the movie has that buddy movie, action adventure feel to it. Sorry to use this example, but at times I felt like I watching "Back to the Future 3". Dialogue then action. Mostly how are they going to get of this impossible situation which they faced a lot times. Explosions, etc.

Even though the Indians are called savages, it's pretty clear that the White man is the real savage in this movie in many ways. The film clocks in at 2 1/2 hours which is too much, imo. I'll give it a B-. The action, adventure is going to bring people in show and of course, Depp.

movie is supposed to suck.

This film is a catastrophe of tone, a truly tortured screenplay that seems embarrassed by its central character, and at two-and-a-half hours, it may be the single most punishing experience I’ve had in a theater so far this year.

… a terrible film by any standards.
…grim, ugly, and deeply unpleasant. -HitFix

Both joyless and seemingly endless. -TheWrap

An indigestible swill of forced humour and oversized, overbearing action sequences. -ScreenDaily

Depp’s shtick is that he wears a dead crow as a headdress and, on a regular basis, tries to feed it birdseed. -HollywoodandFine

Verbinski uses a framing device to assert, repeatedly, that his movie is actually sympathetic to Native Americans and not just taking advantage of stereotypes. He clearly doesn’t trust his audience to get his point of view; worse yet, he has to keep showing us how much he doesn’t trust us.

So, between reminders of all the atrocities committed by white men, we’re supposed to laugh and have fun. -VillageVoice


deathly dull… a tone deaf movie that doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going. -RopeofSilicon

dreadfully dull. The movie will keep jumping back to this kid to ask obvious questions about the plot throughout the movie, a tedious bit of narrative that grinds an already too long movie, nearly to a halt every time. -ThePlaylist

Monotonous, loud and relentless, [the action scenes are] a punishing example of the self-satisfied, digitally augmented ephemera that typifies modern Hollywood moviemaking, and House Bruckheimer in particular. – TimeOut

How deeply stupid is this film? Let’s start with the fact that Silver, a white stallion, is played by a mare. And then let’s talk about geography.

John Reed and his brother dikk are Texas Rangers. In Texas. Because it’s called “The Lone Ranger” – get it? Yet, somehow, the story of the film centers on the completion of the transcontinental railroad – which happened in Utah.

The film’s press kit makes a special point of noting how authentic the costumes were constructed to be (No zippers!). But somehow they had no problem taking a seminal moment in American history and relocating it by almost a thousand miles. -HollywoodandFine

The Lone Ranger may refuse to fire a gun unless absolutely necessary, but the film hardly shares his pacifist philosophy, its abundant carnage ranging from scary carnivorous rabbits to an ambush in which Butch kills half a dozen Texas Rangers and finishes the job by eating Dan Reid’s heart. -Variety

The Lone Ranger may look the look and talk the talk, but it does not walk the walk. If it strutted into an old town saloon, be sure it’ll be thrown out onto a pile of cow dung. -Matt’s Movie Reviews

Someone needs to drag this thing out behind the barn and put a silver bullet in its brain. It’s the only kindness this movie deserves. -Hitfix
