The Lone Ranger (2013)

Re-imagining of the venerable masked lawman.  I went into this expecting a total train wreck like Wild Wild West.  Alas no it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  That doesn't mean it was good either.  They could have called it the Tonto refuses to shave his girly 'stache and a white horse named Silver show.  Typical Disney framework but a lackluster build up.  It has its moments however, one of them being the rather small role of Hellena Bonham Carter and her amazing ivory prosthetic. Younger audiences may find things more entertaining but I don't know how many young people are interested in cowboys and Indians these days so it makes one wonder who their target audience was. Not as bad as a TSA cavity search but less fun than a voucher to the buffet.  If you must see it my advice is make it a rental.
