You see, this is why I never have and never will listen to critics; just came back from “The Lone Ranger”, and to echo Jim’s review, I LOVED IT, and also have a new title to add to my list of favorite Westerns! Just a fun, fun movie! The most fun I’ve had at the movies in a long, long,time!

The original script included werewolves and other supernatural creatures from Native American myths. Those bells and whistles have been jettisoned, but according to sources who have read recent drafts, three massive action set pieces involving trains remain, including one described as the biggest train sequence in film history.
And that's my problem with modern Hollywood! Style over substance! I always thought "The Lone Ranger" was such a great character and the origins would make the perfect big screen Western. The potential is there for a good, entertaining story that would be strong enough to appeal to both adults and kids.
But these days, Hollywood just can't get it right! Instead of telling a good story, that starts with good characters...they would rather create what is basically a shallow big screen video game!
Sorry for the rant, but I just don't get it!
