Looks goofy, although it’s interesting to see Tom Wilkinson in the cast; as a general rule, he doesn’t sign on to stinkers.

Timothy Olyphant would be a good Lone Ranger.

I never thought I would like the pirates flicks but those were actually pretty good.

Is he going to play Tonto a bit effeminate as he did Jack Sparrow?

I remember the Far Side cartoon where the Lone Ranger discovers after his retirement that the word “Kimosabe” means “Horse’s Rear End.”

It HAS to be better than this stink-bomb from '81 starring the unforgettable Klinton Spilsbury and Michael Horse

I’ve not seen any of the pirates flicks...almost went to the last one because Ian McShane was in it, but figured without having seen any of the earlier ones, I wouldn’t get half of it.

Armie Hammer, eh? He’s descended from the rich oil mogul who founded the Communist Party USA.
It’s short for Armand Hammer, which was originally chosen as a pun on the Communist Arm and Hammer logo of the USSR.
Rather an odd ancestry for the Lone Ranger.

Does “Tonto” mean “Bird brain” ??? When he rides real fast, does the dead bird fly off his head?...Inquiring minds want to know...
