Customer Reviews

Do not expect Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

The story is mostly told as a flashback by an old Indian standing in a diorama with the dead crow on his head. John Reid (Armie Hammer) is a native counselor trained in the East to think like John Locke. He is coming back home to the West. He meets bad guys and believes that they can be reasoned with without weapons. As he learns better, he is assisted in understanding how the world works by a strange Indian dressed up as a medicine man; we learn his name is Tonto (Johnny Depp). John Reid learns that you cannot trust old friends; you cannot change old loves, and sometimes force needs to be matched with cunning. Eventually, John Reid should become the Lone Ranger that we all came to expect. The characters are where the dichotomy lies. Instead of being a loyal sidekick, Tonto leads a world of his own, which includes his agenda and personality explanation. John Reid, even though quoting Locke, starts more like a version of Dudley Do-Right. Even his horses were smarter, just as Dudley’s horse was smarter. I think they might have drawn a little on Dudley for some of the scenes. Saginaw Grant plays a pivotal role as Chief Big Bear. He fills in the backstory of Tonto’s life, explains what the story is all about, and does the right thing in managing the future of John Reid and Tonto. If you come to this movie with no expectations and appreciate Johnny Depp’s sense of humor, then you will have an enjoyable time watching this movie. If you get most DVD versions, then there will be an extra “making of” section that can add to the understanding of what they are trying to present.
