Lone Ranger, The

(2013) - 149 min - PG13

Retelling of the legend of the Lone Ranger set in 1869 when John Reid and his brother are ambushed by Butch Cavendish and his gang all set during the building of the Intercontinental Railroad. A few historical inaccuracies( The Stars and Stripes played in the movie was not published until 1897), but who cares. Hammer and especially Depp are a hoot.

Chief Chick Comments

A young boy in 1933 attends a Wild West Carnival and happens upon a staged scene of the Native Americans. Tonto comes to life and tells him the story of the Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp is very droll star of this movie. Armie Hammer (Great Grandson of Armand Hammer long time CEO of Occidental Petroleum) is The Lone Ranger. While a bit long, the movie is an entertaining western with lots of action , thankfully without all the modern Sci Fi Stuff. It must have taken an army of stuntmen to make the movie. Ruth Wilson plays the wife (and long time former love of John Reid, aka The Long Ranger) of Dan Reid the head Texas Ranger who leads 8 men into a canyon to capture Butch Cavendish, a ghoulish outlaw who has murdered too many people to count.Wemeet "Red" , played by Helena Bonham Carter,owner of the local brother/dance hall. 3 Times the William Tell Overture is played. If you grew up in the 50's your heart is stirred!
