The Lone Ranger has made a lot of headlines due to it's failure in America. This has been put down to the film being panned by the critics, I think some if the criticism is unfair.
Is this the best film of the year? No. Will it win any awards? No. Does it have faults? Yes. Is it worth seeing? Most definitely.
Unusually for a big summer movie, this has a strong storyline and a plot that makes sense, the way it is told through the older Tonto telling the story works really well, and despite my reservations going in, Depp as Tonto is a really great bit of casting.
The film is perhaps a little to long at 2 and a half hours, it is slow to get going and maybe you could lose 20-30 minutes from the first hour.
That Said, I really enjoyed this, it is something different in a summer of Sci Fi and Superheroes, don't take the critics word for it, go and see it yourself and make your own mind up, you won't regret it 8/10
