Here's what the critics are saying:
"The Lone Ranger" . . . can only be filed alongside "Cowboys and Aliens" and "Wild, Wild West" as ornate films that are so nervous about the modern appeal of the Western that they ruin it by impulsively overstuffing it. — Jake Koyle, Associated Press
This attempt for another "Pirates of the Caribbean"-scaled series tries to have it too many ways tonally, resulting in a work that wobbles and thrashes all over the place. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
This smart-looking but empty adventure — with a hero that looks more Tom Ford than John Ford — suffers from a shambling script, shifting tones and a surplus of villains. Clunky and drawn out, “Ranger” shoots blanks, even with the star power of Johnny Depp behind it. — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
“The Lone Ranger” is far from a perfect movie, but it has two things that most contemporary blockbusters lack: grandeur and craft. — Peter Suderman, The Washington Times
