Anyone anxious to see it? I'm not really a Depp fan, but The Lone Ranger black and white tv show used to be my favorite show when i was a kid.

I haven't seen any of the "Pirates" films other than the first one on TV so I was going to wait for this one on Blu-ray but I think I may go see it since I got a free movie money ticket from Disney Movie Rewards when I picked up "Oz" on Blu-ray the other day.

A lot of people online in other movie forums are predicting this will be a flop but since it hits on 4th of July weekend I think it will do pretty good.

I enjoyed the Pirates movies and thought Depp did a great job as Captain Jack. I am looking forward to TLR. All the previews look good. I just hope they aren't putting all the best parts in the previews.

The first pirates movie is great. The rest aren't very good at all.

I mostly agree with this. I enjoyed 2 & 3 but they were actually just one long over the top movie. I haven't seen the fourth one. Most people I've spoken with liked it better than 2-3 though.

As for Lone Ranger, I would like to watch it but it probably won't be until it makes its way to Netflix.

I've been anxious to see this. Looks pretty good. Didn't care for the Pirates movies though.

Yes I can't wait to see it.

There was a promotion for this movie in a episode The Bachlerotte.

They might as well have cast Tom Cruise for the role.

They threw credibility and believability out the window.

Depp just looks like Jack Sparrow the Indian in this movie, which makes it absolutely not worth seeing to me.

I'll admit the show when it was on tv was way before my time, and unlike most old westerns I don't ever see this as reruns. The trailers and previews make it seem this is more the Tonto show than the lone ranger. I was always under the impression Tonto was just a sidekick, but they make it look like Depp is going to be the center of the show, and the lone ranger is the sidekick.

I agree they are definitely marketing it that way. Granted Depp is a box office draw and Disney has quite a but of money tied up in him so I can't exactly blame them.

You must be pretty young to not understand and know about the Lone Ranger.

Hollywood casts based on box office appeal of actors rather than their ability to portray a part.

Depp is no Lone Ranger.

I know the name but haven't watched episodes, or listend to them if it was ever on Radio.

Are talking generally?

Unless I missed something Depp is Tonto that is a a Indian with dark straight long hair.
Also I think I recall a post saying that Tonto is Robin the sidekick while The Lone Ranger is Batman. Although if Tonto gives any advice to him like a mentor then I think you could also say he's Alfred.
