The Lone Ranger stars Johnny Depp as Tonto, a Native American who teams up with the Texas Ranger John Reid. Together, they hunt down the outlaw Butch Cavendish. Unfortunately, The Long Ranger has a bloated run time at 2.5 hours long, of which it takes 30 mins to an hour before the plot starts picking up pace. Dragging it out for this long means that most of the film is quite boring and bland, and despite the efforts to make Tonto quirky and charismatic, it never succeeds in keeping your attention. It doesn't feel like there is chemistry between the two leads and it is only at the climax of the film where the big chase begins that The Lone Ranger delivers what it promises to. Surprisingly, there are a few disturbing scenes such as the cannibalistic nature of the villain Cavendish, to the onscreen deaths of characters. While the presentation was predictable and cliched in having an older Tonto as the narrator, there are enough thrills to make The Lone Ranger passable.
