Review of The Lone Ranger (2013) by Stamatios M — 11 Jul 2014
Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski went for "Pirates of the Caribbean" set in the Wild West, but they unfortunately used the latter films in the series as their template. The result is a directionless mess of a film.
A large part of the blame falls on the cast too. Johnny Depp is stuck on Jack Sparrow mode, while Armie Hammer lacks both charm and presence. The script has moments of brilliance, but is buried under the landslide that is Verbinski's editing.
Whatever hopes Bruckheimer may have had for a new trilogy, they were certainly put to rest after the film's (well-deserved) poor reviews and earnings.
