But from the little that I do remember about the characters, I thought Armie Hammer's Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp's Tonto were great character portrayals. So I'm not quite sure what all the negativity is all about all over the internet.
Sure, the movie was a tad long, but the entertainment factor was enjoyed very thoroughly.
The only thing I didn't like were a few inconsistencies, like why William Fichtner's character would let the pair live in the beginning as it was quite illogical. And that scene when Bryant Price's character found out what happened to his father, it was a little messy with so many people in the same room all at ounce.
But these issues were very minor and didn't quite detract away from the overall movie.
The story I thought was very well written. And Gore Verbinski really brought out the big action sequences. From beginning to the end, there were always some kind of action going on. And let's not forget the humour which were very strong from start to finish.
However, I'm not very sure about that great sense of loss in the third act when the cavalry clashed with the Indian tribe. I thought that was quite dark and serious when the whole movie had quite a light tone to it.
Young Hammer really did very well in keeping up with legendary Depp, making him seemed his name should be credited first and not the other way around. Fichtner was also great playing the ruthless protagonist while Tom Wilkinson also played a good role as the mastermind.
Helena Bonham Carter always plays a strong supporting role and that's no different here. I would love to see more of her in future instalments. I haven't seen Barry Pepper in a long while so I was quite surprised to find him here in such a small role.
Overall, highly entertaining and full of laughs.
