Another Netflix. Didn't bother to see it in the theaters. Good thing too. It was terrible. Nobody did anything heroic or romantic or even very interesting. Nobody was very funny. Johnny Depp, who can be very funny, didn't get any decent lines. Armie Hammer, who played the Lone Ranger, did such a super nerd act that it was painful to watch rather than funny. It went on and on, for ever. Nobody ever said "Hiyo Silver", no William Tell overture. I'm not a real Lone Ranger fan, but I do remember the comic books, the TV show, and the black & white movies. This flick didn't touch any of those bases for nostalgia or for laughs.
I didn't bother to watch it to the end, I switched it off and watched Obama's great Tuesday night speech. Not sure if that was such a great idea. IMDB estimates Disney spent $215 million to make this disaster and it only grossed $89 million. I thought Disney was smarter than this. They must have got the John Carter crew to do 'em another turkey.
