The Lone Ranger

[bullets]

I'll defend The Lone Ranger on many things, but don't consider it better than the first Pirates of the Caribbean film.

Just found this:

This is the painting by Kirby Sattler called "I am Crow". It is the painting that inspired Tonto's look. Depp said, "I’d actually seen a painting by an artist named Kirby Sattler, and looked at the face of this warrior and thought: That’s it. The stripes down the face and across the eyes... It seemed to me like you could almost see the separate sections of the individual, if you know what I mean."

I saw this in a magazine a few months ago ( maybe EW) , very cool.

I do agree that it could of been better, but I enjoyed most of the humor. It probably seems peculiar to jump between comic beats and violent death , but it was done so they could get away with more. I could just imagine Armie's character dropping to knees after accidentally killing those two henchmen and screaming like Superman while Tonto tried to comfort him. It just wouldn't have worked.

I have no problem having a scene to lighten the mood like the scenes with the kid or in the case but there's no reason to take something like

burying the Rangers and make it a joke.

I agree I don't see the scene bullets mentioned as being played serious as it is in the movie. But in my opinion the way it is in the movie it's out of character.

I mean they make a joke out of TLR killing two guys but later he knocks Tonto out with a shovel because he's going to kill Cavendish. Not to mention when the Rangers enter the canyon John wont take a gun from Dan because he wont use one.

I wanted to like TLR but for me it falls way short of the mark. As I said before if the movie had just been out and out bad I would have been less disapointed. I actually don't mind TLR not wearing his trade mark outfit in the movie. I would be lying if I didn't say a part of me doesn't like the change in outfits. I don't know if they've said why they changed it but I can see how the classic LR outfit could come off tacky. I've bought two tickets to see the movie and the soundtrack but I don't see myself buying the Blu Ray. By the way I'm 31 and I really don't remember not being a fan of TLR.
