From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/ Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice-taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

Here are reviews from different trusted critiques:
“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.” – Rottentomatoes.com
“Depp can be a terrific comic actor. When he’s desperate, however, he tends to pull faces and do silly walks. He isn’t funny. He’s exhausting. For fans of the original radio and TV series, the film comes to life only in the final 15 minutes, when we are treated to a burst of its famous theme, Rossini’s William Tell Overture. It’s much too little, too late.” – Dailymail.co.uk
“A wild, wacky, wide-screen reimagining of the vintage radio serial and TV series, the film – with Armie Hammer in the hat and mask, galloping across Texas righting wrongs, and Depp as his trusty Indian sidekick, Tonto – is an epic good time.” – Philadelphia Inquirer
“A moderately amusing but very uneven revisionist adventure with franchise and theme park intentions written all over it…This attempt by Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer to plant the flag for another Pirates of the Caribbean-scaled series tries to have it too many ways tonally, resulting in a work that wobbles and thrashes all over the place as it attempts to find the right groove.” – Hollywood Reporter
“It’s all too much and not enough—a succession of disparate, can-you-top-this episodes inelegantly piling up like skidding cars on a freeway. And that’s not even taking into account the action scenes. Lord, those action scenes: Monotonous, loud and relentless, they’re a punishing example of the self-satisfied, digitally augmented ephemera that typifies modern Hollywood moviemaking, and House Bruckheimer in particular.” – Time Out New York
