His shtick gets old pretty fast, as most of the time he’s just making reactionary bug eyes. Johnny Depp as Tonto is already an issue since Depp is Caucasian and playing to a stereotype, but he is also not very competent of an aid to the Lone Ranger. I’m also not a fan of the main characters.
WHY IS THE LONE RANGER NOT ON DISNEY PLUS FULL
It is full of silliness, but then you have a guy eating a dying man’s heart, carnivorous rabbits, and mass murders/war. I have no idea who is the intended audience for this film. The tone shifts from epic action to slapstick comedy to paranormal sci-fi at breakneck speeds. The biggest problem with The Lone Ranger is how it is all over the place. Unfortunately, quality ingredients are not the only requirements for a delicious dish. This sounds pretty good so far, right? Add to that Cavendish being a ruthless cannibal, a surprise baddie in a public figure, and an interesting back story for Tonto that explains why he is so adamant to help The Lone Ranger. However, a spirit horse and the Native American Tonto (Johnny Depp) bring him back to life to avenge his brother’s death and save his sister-in-law and nephew. Unfortunately, they are ambushed, and seemingly all the Rangers have died. When the outlaw Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) escapes a train on the way to town to be hanged, Reid’s brother Dan deputizes him as a Texas Ranger, and a posse goes out to get the criminal.
Set in Texas in 1869, Armie Hammer plays John Reid, a lawyer who is on his way to his hometown, which happens to be at the frontier of a new cross country railroad track. Does this remake, directed by Gore Verbinski and written by Justin Haythe, Ted Elliott, and Terry Rossio, live up to the legend? Find out after the break. The character debuted in 1933 and is famous for the lines “Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!” and “Ke-mo sah-bee”, as well as its use of the William Tell Overture as theme music. Disney’s The Lone Ranger, a reimagining of the classic hero from radio and television programs, opens in theaters tomorrow.
