Reviews

Los Angeles Times: Not even Johnny Depp can rescue 'The Lone Ranger'  -  2.5/5


Screenrant: The final Lone Ranger movie experience misses the bar  -  2/5

IGN: Intermittently entertaining yet frustrating and disappointing  -  2/5

The Associated Press: For 2 ½ hours, … Lone Ranger inflates, subverts and distorts the conventions of the Western until, in an interminable climax, the big-budget spectacle finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage  -  2/5

Newsday: It’s a rollicking action-adventure with locomotives, rooftop shootouts and a bright-white Silver who has the powers of Pegasus.  -  2.5/5

NPR: The Lone Ranger combines Depp's shallow, liberal seriousness with Pirates of the Caribbeanslapstick spectacle, and the upshot is horrible. It's like Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,adapted into a Disney theme park ride.  -  2/5

Firstshowing: Verbinski's 'Lone Ranger' is an Obvious, Pointless Blockbuster  -  1.5/5

Huffingtonpost: At times loving homage, at times bold reinvention, and at times winking parody, it's nonetheless an altogether enjoyable summer entertainment that manages, in its own way, to hearken back to those thrilling days of yesteryear  -  3/5

MovieMoReview Rating of The Lone Ranger  -  2.5/5
