Th Lone Ranger: Blockbusters' Heaven's Gate?

Critic Gabe Toro posits, "Effectively, Heaven’s Gate marked 1980 as the year that the most exciting filmmaking period in Hollywood died, because no one had the stones to say no to Michael Cimino.

"For years, Disney has had plans for a film based on The Lone Ranger...[but] the fact is the Hollywood studio model is showing its cracks. Films are becoming far too expensive and a studio is more likely to grab a profit from a few mid-to-low budgeted films per year rather than one big dopey blockbuster. A Hobbit or a Batman franchise can feed the studio for a good while. But the odds that that will work aren’t always in the studio’s favor. A little bit of 3D won’t exactly keep your company from losing hundreds of millions."

The Lone Ranger Review | GES

ges-sa.com | "The Lone Ranger is a western with lots of hilarious moments, action packed and has a brilliant plot filled with several twists and turns. I had no clue what a huge fan base The Lone Ranger had, until I saw all the comics, merchandise, radio show and TV series since 1933. With little to no knowledge of the massive legacy that follows these two characters, throughout America and abroad, I wasn’t too eager to sit down for a two and a half hour Western, however this movie turned into something that I would advise anyone to watch."

This movie was grossly underrated upon release. I didn't catch it until Blu-ray and was shocked how great it was. It wasn't just that I thought it wasn't as bad as critics made it out to be, I genuinely thought it was awesome.

4/5..seriously? this movie was absolute junk.
the story was poor, the comedic elements were old. <we seen them done too many times in the pirates series that now its just old> kinda like retelling the same joke 3 years later.
the theme song is only for like 3 mins in the entire 2 hours.
johnny depps acting as tonto was layered <in a bad way>. it was more like johnny depp acting as captain jack sparrow who was acting as tonto. its tired.
after all that, what really disappointed me about the entire movie was that they even dissed his signature move. what the hell possessed them to do that. thats what makes the movie instead they turned it into a joke.
this movie was just poor all round. had they named it anything unrelated to the lone ranger it wouldve been average at best but the fact that its lone ranger makes it awful.
