Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I became a huge fan of the Lone Ranger TV show and expected the movie to be just like it. I was wrong.
This movie felt like a typical western movie rather than a film adaptation of the TV show.
Tonto, played by Johnny Depp, was insulting to Native Americans and the character from the show. Armie Hammer could have worked as the Lone Ranger if the character was written correctly, which it wasn't.
In all, this was a rip off that should have been better and more faithful to the show.

The Longer Ranger Is a movie starring Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, and William Fichtner. Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice. Despite a very well known and solid cast of talented actors, great make up and very good special effects and cgi 'The Longe Ranger' feels more like 'A Pirates of the Caribbean' film than what it should be and don't get me wrong i love that Franchise but this movie needed it to be it's own thing and it wasn't. Hammer was really boring, Depp was totally miscasted and the running time of 150 minutes was way way long for a film made by Disney let's admit it. (4/10)

I was thrilled when I read there was actually going to be a new, big-budget Lone Ranger film, especially since the last attempt at this franchise failed so badly. However, I was a little reluctant when I also read that Johnny Depp was to portray Tonto. Don't get me wrong, he's an exceptional actor BUT, he's also very eccentric.Your first sign of trouble is when "Tonto" gets top billing over the lead, not good. If you are thinking about watching this movie-don't. I tried every which way to like this movie and just flat out couldn't. "Tonto" practically spends the entire movie making the "Lone Ranger" look like a complete idiot. There's nothing romantic about the movie or anything that made us love this classic hero and his faithful sidekick, which, by the way, this movie centers around. This was obviously ego-driven. Adding insult to injury, the movie lost millions. There are some good moments, the story has potential, but every time there seemed to be a chance the movie would get better throughout, it took a turn for the worse. It insulted the legacy of this beloved character(Lone Ranger), it also insulted my intelligence.

A painfully unfunny wraparound story of Tonto, in the 1930s, maybe, narrating this story, his memoir, basically bookending this preposterously overlong, overcomplicated to the point of absurdity western/ comedy/ SciFi, taking place decades earlier...I can barely think clearly after this one.I like Armie Hammer, I have ever since I saw him in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and I (usually) like Johnny Depp as well, but they are given the most oddball screenplay to work with here, as the film veers wildly from western genre, to zany slapstick, and I kept getting a science fiction vibe in a lot of the scenes, as there was so much of an overuse of CGI.The comedy elements are silly and juvenile, and occasionally tasteless (why do we see a horse taking a dump, only to see Hammer dragged through it?) and the action never looks real, the story lacks any sense of adventure, and I couldn't help wonder why we, as an audience, should care about any of this?I give it a 4/ 10, again, just because I like Hammer and Depp, and because the film does have some impressive looking cinematography in desert southwest, when it isn't drowning in CGI.
