Synopsis:
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster franchise "Pirates of the Caribbean", comes Disney's "The Lone Ranger," a thrilling adventure infused with action and humour, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice - taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.

Verdict:
I personally think that the movie is too long (about 2 and half hours) where I started to feel bored in the middle. Yes, indeed some of the parts are quite funny but there are a lot of craps too. I don't like the way they use storytelling mode to bring out the movie and it's kinda messy that the story keeps going back and forth where I feel lost sometimes. I was rather disappointed.

Rate: 5/10
