I watched this expecting the worst, and was actually mildly pleased. This movie is certainly an improvement over the 1981 disaster Legend of The Lone Ranger. My biggest disappointment was that the lead, though competent, is just too young to carry the role. On the other hand, he's perfect for WB's target audience, the young adult crowd. And of course, this film has "Pilot" written all over it.
That said, there were some changes I didn't quite get. Like, why did they change the Lone Ranger's name? "John Reed" becomes "Luke Hartman"? And where are the silver bullets? I mean, come on!
Oh - and who knew that 19th century Apache women were so skilled in the use of eyebrow pencils, eyeshadow, foundation and lip liner? History lessons can be fun, I guess.
