i saw the lone ranger this week and i thought it was pretty good johnny dep was awesome in the movie i thought he did a great job but the guy that played the lone ranger i felt was kinda good thought more people were raving about johnny dep i guss cuzz hes a bigger star then the guy.

i saw that critics gave the movie like a 5 or 6 pretty much though i would of gave the movie a 6 or 7 lil more then that . i mean anyone who saw the movie tell me what you think .

I liked it. I also disagreed with the critics. Thought it was pretty funny. It wasn't meant to be a super serious western movie. Johnny Depp was pretty good in it. The movie reminded me of western Pirates of the Caribbean lol.

Is it better than the original film?

**sora2k10** · 07-14-2013, 06:29 PM

i would say it was good but i would not say it was better well it depends how big of a fan you are

I watch old westerns and they are often inaccurate, so is this new movie accurate? I don't look for stunning realism but I'd like if these movies respected history a little more.

**sora2k10** · 07-15-2013, 01:33 PM

oh i get what your saying . not sure i mean i was looking cuzz i already figured the movie would not have much realism in the movie cuzz its the lone ranger

And that's exactly why it's getting hammered by critics and it was beat by Despicable Me 2.

You're looking for any realism in a big budget Disney movie starring Depp as a native american? Come on now you can't be serious.

Honestly, its only because of Johnny Depp. If Tanto was cast by anyone else, it would've just been another western flick. I still enjoyed it. Great action, funny, ending battle scene was brilliant.

But if the cast someone else they wouldn't act the same way. Depp is kinda type casting himself at this point. His roles have to be silly and over the top. Also make up.

What ethnicity is Tonto? I'm not sure?

**Dudebro** · 07-16-2013, 11:53 AM

Potawatomi originally, Comanche in the recent movie.

**Mikman** · 07-16-2013, 01:54 PM

Are any ethnic Comanches in the movie?

**Dudebro** · 07-16-2013, 05:41 PM

I wouldn't know and it's not something I'm gonna go look up. What's your point?

**Mikman** · 07-17-2013, 09:12 AM

I just like to know these things but it's not important.

How does this movie compare to other westerns?

**Dudebro** · 07-17-2013, 04:22 PM

Don't ask me I didn't go see it and I probably won't see it for a few years. I doubt it's a very good western, it seems more like an action movie set in that time period.

**Mikman** · 07-20-2013, 07:45 AM

The majority of westerns are action movies which exist in a fictionalized version of that period.
