Anyone stay 'til the end of The Lone Ranger?
I had to leave and couldn't wait for the end after all the credits...
Last I saw the elder Tonto was shuffling across the desert with a suitcase...anything else happen or did he just shuffle off into the sunset?
Try YouTube. They usually post end credit scenes.
BTW was it good?
just shuffled across the desert
The kids said they liked it. Wife and I agreed the story went from stupid to worse. If it was on TV, I would have changed the channel about halfway through. Depp is good as some characters, but an Indian isn't one. The ranger was a complaining anti-violent puss the whole way through. I guess I am spoiled from having watched the TV series growing up. Too much PC crap, but what do you expect from Disney.
It won't win any awards, but was entertaining. Reminded me of the Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles.Quote:

I was annoyed by the heavy handed leftist/critical theory politics that has become standard fare for Disney movies lately. White, capitalist, Christian, Americans are all evil/greedy/stupid/meanies. The only good White American was an atheist with a college education and all the native Americans were saints and the military exists to serve the interests of evil, greedy and mean Corporations ... bah.
When the army captain charged in with his sword drawn yelling "For God and Country!" I almost got up and walked out.
I think that cavalry captain was supposed to be a caricature of Custer...long blond hair, etc.Quote:

It had some music segments from Hell on Wheels and Once Upon a Time in the West...wonder how they got away with that?
I avoided the movie just because Johnny Depp was involved. The trailers looked stupid too -- Clayton Moore must be rolling in his grave.
Yeah, it wasn't very "lone ranger" from the radio broadcasts I used to listen to (on tape that is), more "Pirates of the Caribbean" than LR. Still, it was ok, maybe "go see at the cheap theater/borrow from the library."
Although, the long rendition of the William Tell overture they did during the fight scene was pretty cool, kept changing keys/slightly different variants during highlights of the fight. (And I now have to link to another fun rendition, done by my fav Youtube guitarist erock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djcYX...eature=mh_lolz )
Oh, and yes, as others said just shuffled. I was hoping there'd be something, but no, just....shufflin...
I made it about half way through....
