The Lone Ranger (2013) 7/10

Starring : Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson
Director : Gore Verbinski
Running Time : 150 mins

A young boy is told the tale of John Reid (Hammer) – the Lone Ranger – by an elderly Tonto (Depp), and explains how they met and joined forces to track down Butch Cavendish (Fichtner), the man responsible for the death of John Reid’s brother, a fellow Texas Ranger, and their plan to rescue his widow Rebecca (Wilson) from the clutches of Latham Cole (Wilkinson), a man who plans to use a proposed railroad combined with a stolen silver mine to become the most powerful man in the West.

Despite some terrible reviews, this wasn’t that bad a movie. It was far too long, and in spite of the Disney name this wasn’t really aimed at children, but the drama and action is mixed with some comedy to make this pretty entertaining, and the train chase is well worth waiting two hours for.
