VIDEO: The Schmoes Know Review THE LONE RANGER

^ says the guy with no credibility.

Lol agreed ^

Did anyone really expect this movie to be good anyway? This looks almost as bad as Wild Wild West. I will just wait for Pacific Rim thank you.

Wait, am I supposed to follow the trend of dissing some's credibility? I'm kinda new to this...

@McGee

Where the hell have you been today?

i MAY see this, just for Depp...

Not surprised this movie is getting bad review so far. Judging by the trailers it looked like Pirates of the Caribbean in the West.

The Schmoes are like Burt and Ernie...

I'll be seeing Man of Steel, World War Z and Pacific Rim.
Not seeing The Lone Ranger.

Funny about the people who say they're not credible cause they clearly consider themselves avergae guys reviewing movies hence "schmoes". But I love these guys and almost alway agree with them so i take their opinion with alot of consideration.

How in gods green earth are some of you clowns speaking as if RT is making the MOS review, the Lone Ranger review, etc. etc. Its an average compilation of many many professional reviews. Its not an average from 5 or 10, but many many reviews. The common denominator usually prevails in showing the true quality of the movie. Can you argue where each of our thresholds are? Yes...but if its in the 50s or lower, look out, because common themes crop up, and there become VALID problems/issues.

By agreeing that The Lone Ranger sucks, they have EARNED credibility as far as I'm concerned

Also, instead of this crap I'll be seeing Man of Steel for a 6th time this week/weekend.

I HAVE CREDIBILITY

Also Gusto wanted me to pass this bit of info around for tomorrow!

I'm sure you guys don't remember that leaked review from a few months back, but here it is, right on the money, as I had a chance to see it too a while back (by the way, I'm not hating in the least when I say this, but it was genuinely more entertaining than Ironman 3):

The Lone Ranger is worthy of your July 4th movie going dollars, it's that simple. At it's current cut, it's a little too intense for your 4-7 year olds likely, as there are two scenes in particular that seem a little unsettling, one involving offscreen cannibalism and another displayed as a silhouetted throat slitting. Will those scenes make it into the final cut? Probably, this is a PG-13 rendition of The Lone Ranger after all, but with that said, the initial impression could be made that its all gloom and grit. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's very light hearted and only dark when the villainous Butch Cavendish strolls onto screen or is referenced by the characters. William Fitchner is absolutely incredible and leads to the strongest performance of this film, his makeup makes him hardly recognizable. In fact, because this is the 1800s, everyone has insane beards that make them unrecognizable, a true feat accomplished by the exceptional costume and grooming departments. The cinematography is excellent as is the score and surprisingly the CG. If there was any gripe to be made, it's that around the 3/4 mark the pacing drags a bit, but this is unavoidable as it lends to building the final conflict of the film. There is a Tonto origin story that slows everything down a bit, but like I said, is absolutely necessary to the overall structure of the plot. There is one sequence that feels like it could be the final action piece that was actually slightly frustrating that it didn't end right then and there, but with a few laughs thrown in, the real climax hits and all I can say is, "strap yourself in for a wild ride". When people say, "The Lone Ranger", undoubtedly an image from the climactic finale will pop into your head and likely bring a grin to your face.

Having seen it, again, I 100% agree. If you go see a movie on the 4th, this is worth it w/ the family. It screeches to a halt at the third quarter, but if I've said it once, I'll say it again: a good movie can be sullied by a piss-poor ending, and a mediocre film can be good w/ a great, strong finish. This movie, I think, falls under the latter.

LOL, you fanboys are laughable. Rotten Tomatoes and the critics are useless until they agree with your own biases and preferences, at which point they will be used to confirm your preconceived opinion.

I caught the 7 pm "midnight screening" an have to say that The Lone Ranger was perfectly fine as a two 1/2 hour escape from reality that is satisfying enough when you're watching it but somewhat forgetable after leaving the theater.

Depp had some funny moments but the film did start to drag at one point and his Tonto is just not the magnetic presence Jack Sparrow is.

Is the film worth a look? Yes,but it will not go down as a huge summer hit coming out the same weekend as despicable me 2.
