Reviews for The Lone Ranger

Review - Lone Ranger, The

This movie lost millions of dollars for Disney and I can't say I'm hugely surprised. It's not awful, but it is too long and too over-the-top in typical Disney fashion. The Lone Ranger, as portrayed here, is pretty meek and Tonto is really the boss. The story involves townsfolk and bad guys and Indians and railroad men and the cavalry and a mother and her son and explosions and thousands of bullets that don't hit anything except for in two scenes when every bullet hits. If this review makes the movie sound like a mess, I've done well.
