Lone Ranger – movie review

Grade: C+

This is a long, bloated film that went for campy, cartoonish thrills. In other words, it was made for kids and while it had moments of beauty, and maybe even moments of genius, it never really transcended its own wax figure of itself.

The Lone Ranger isn’t a bad movie; in fact, it has some of the best shot action scenes of the summer. It simply didn’t reach for the highest version of itself.

Armie Hammer gives a surprisingly heartfelt performance while Johnny Depp mugs his way through the entire movie.  Depp is such a naturally talented actor, I have to think he was forced into this bad performance by lousy dialogue riddled with half jokes.

Helena Bonham Carter plays Red, the sharpest, most intriguing character in the movie with the smallest amount of screen time. Her ivory prosthetic leg that doubles as a rifle had more dramatic and comedic juice than any mask the Lone Ranger could ever wear.

If you go into the theater with very low expectations, you will enjoy the movie.

One of the most useful apps I’ve ever come across. I’ve used it for years and recommended it to all my friends. Even if I’m not the type to have to pee during movies often, being able to pull up the app and pass my phone to my mom/friend/grandma so that they know when to go to the bathroom has been invaluable. Because then I don’t have to summarize anything when they get back!!
