In 1933 a boy discovers an ancient Native American in a sideshow carnival tent. The Indian is Tonto (Johnny Depp), the old companion of John Reid (Armie Hammer), a lawman more famously known as the Lone Ranger. With this opportunity to set the record straight about his and Reid's adventures, Tonto recalls the day in 1869 when he first encountered the man who would be his trusted friend and tells of their teamwork bringing down Butch Cavendish (William Fichtner) and other Old West outlaws.

Critics Consensus

Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp make for an appealing pair of leads, but they're not enough to make up for The Lone Ranger's bland script, bloated length, and blaring action overkill.

In short, the "spirit guide" of this film would be an odious trash heap.

A horrifically boring movie that feels like a long lost sequel to Wild Wild West (1999), another big-budget western disaster.

Rated: C-

The Lone Ranger employs positive elements of the Western and doesn't stop being entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

Even if, at times, the end result isn’t coherent or well balanced, it’s laudable in its defiance of the ordinary.

Rated: 3/4

Keith & the Movies

“The Lone Ranger” loses itself in its overbearing insanity and bloated, uneven plot. It never feels like a western and it never knows when to end.

Rated: 2/5

All the critical drawbacks are valid. But when you hear Armie declare 'Hi Ho Silver' and the William Tell overture ensues all sins are forgiven.

It deserves a chance. I think overall, it was just right and provided me with enough action for a night. Personally I liked it for the overall message it sent

It's a fun and interesting movie, that makes light of the original lore. Worth the time watching it.

Extremely entertaining, some parts are a little on the slow side but overall a great film if you are looking to have a movie night with your family. Not sure why every one on here is acting like a bona-fide Hollywood critic, but whatever.
