Due to critical and box office failure, my expectations of 'The Lone Ranger' were rather low, despite that, I was still disappointed by it
Yes, Johnny Depp is (probably) the most famous actor in the movie and that's why they made Tonto the central character
Satisfaction goes to a few action scenes, decent costumes and sets
Bad goes to the boring story and the over-the-top performance of Johnny Depp
Hiring Johnny Depp was a waste of money in my opinion, if there was no poster or credits, you wouldn't be able to recognize him
The rest of the cast weren't so bad (Armie Hammer, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Ruth Wilson, Helena Bonham Carter) but not so good either, Gore Verbinski's directing wasn't so bad but you can't deny the screenplay was pretty ridiculous
'The Lone Ranger' features train chases just like the train chase in 'Toy Story 3' (I am aware that both Woody and the Lone Ranger are cowboys but still very similar), a tedious cross between 'Toy Story 3' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
'The Lone Ranger' would've been better if Johnny Depp had given a better performance and if Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott had produced a better screenplay (which didn't rip off 'Toy Story 3' at all, even if they're both Disney movies, 'Toy Story 3' is a Pixar movie too and was biologically made by Pixar)
To conclude, 'The Lone Ranger' is a weak, tedious action, very average and not really worth a look even if you're a huge Johnny Depp fan (besides - like I said - he gives an over-the-top performance)
