So, I saw The Lone Ranger yesterday and I loved it. It is really starting to aggravate me that all the critics are saying that it is garbage, racist, and downright stupid. It really was a good movie for anyone out there who is considering. I personally believe it is suffering from the same treatment of Man of Steel. When a film is released in a certain genre, in this case superhero/vigilante, that doesn't necessarily fit in with all the others of that genre, it is hated. The way I looked at Man of Steel was that most other superhero movies today are very colorful and have lots of kid-friendly plots and action, but Man of Steel took a darker more adult-oriented approach which obviously doesn't sit well with critics. The Lone Ranger is the same issue but with a Western genre. Honestly, I would almost consider The Lone Ranger a superhero movie, I felt the same feelings in the Lone Ranger that I did seeing The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel. Anyways, The Lone Ranger is a little bit long and does get lengthy at some points, but it kept me entertained because Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer are hilarious together. I personally would give this film an 8 out of 10. It provides a neat story that is TOTALLY UNIQUE in today's modern films and takes a twist on a superhero movie. I also love the historical accuracy in the film, I won't give any spoilers away, but it definitely does not sugar coat the wild west. So, if you are considering seeing The Lone Ranger, go see it. I guarantee that if you thoroughly enjoy a story about a vigilante/superhero and don't mind a little "out-of-the-normity", then you will love this movie.

I just am worried about the 2 and a half hour run time. I don't mind long movies, but I don't think the Lone Ranger story warrants more than two hours.

I felt that way about it, but they elaborate and do some twists that fill up the time. The story I thought was going to happen at the beginning took on so many wild, but good, twists.

I'm going to see it tomorrow (Saturday)and post a review as well. It looks like to me that fans of the character are pleased with the movie, while "movie critics" aren't so warm with the final product.

And to that I say, screw the "movie critics!"

They didn't like "John Carter" (last year) and for the most part "Man of Steel," so who cares what they think.
