I heard about the negative remarks about this film. I know about the problems of making it. The only good thing about the movie is that I enjoyed it very much. I remember seeing the old reruns of the original show. I enjoyed Clayton Moore being the masked avenger.
Jay Silverheels, the original Tonto died in 1980. Michael Horse did well playing the role. This movie goes back into the origins of the Lone Ranger.
He was orphaned as a kid. Raised by Tonto as a "blood brother". After becoming a lawyer and a Texas Ranger, that's is when The Lone Ranger was born. Following the ambush set up by a rogue Calvary leader(Christopher Lloyd), recovering from his injuries by Tonto, and finding the steed that made his famous. The Lone Ranger is a symbol of justice.
The movie could have been a hit if the right people were involved. Oh well. It may have been a bomb in the box office, but it is a hit with me.
The other remake I heard was a bomb, at least this version is better.
2.5 out of 5 stars
