The Lone Ranger, who's fight for justice throughout the old west was brought to legendary status by Clayton Moore back in the 50s, is now being portrayed on the big screen as an inept fool, better suited to play a remake of Barney on Mayberry. What a shameful way to destroy the memory of such an iconic figure of the old west. It's interesting to note how the director has taken the liberty of turning this movie into a comedy, not an action filled movie with a little humor thrown in, but an actual comedy, just not a funny one. If you have money to burn, and your time is worth nothing at all, and you've seen every other movie that's ever been made, and the power is out at your house, and your only other choice is trying to read "The History of Sock Mending" by flashlight, then go see it.

Better than Expected

After reading the reviews posted here, I had little hope of seeing a good movie, although the fact that the movie was playing at a "budget" theater was incentive enough for me to see it. I'm glad I went. Over the last couple of years, I've found that reviews on movies have become extremely undependable. It seems as though a lot of folks, who fancy themselves as reliable movie critics, have become quite snobbish in their reviews. It's so easy to be critical. Some critics like to feel that they are a step above the rest of us, and therefore more likely to understand how the movie should have been written, versus the flawed production that was actually released upon the public. I'd have missed many a good movie had I listened to the "professionals". This is an entertaining movie. It's not "The Godfather" or "Shawshank Redemption", but it's a good old fashioned action movie that keeps your attention. Get some popcorn and soda, sit back, and enjoy the show.
