People not wanting to see it even before it came out killed it. Add that to what looked like a WILD WILD WEST meets SHERLOCK HOLMES retread where Johnny Depp plays the old west version of Captain Jack Sparrow and (I believe) most people felt like they had been there and done that over and over again.<br /><br />I never watched the old Lone Ranger stuff so I went in with no emotional baggage. I simply wanted a more balanced, more engaging and more entertaining movie than what I was served... This was tonely all over the map.<br /><br />Glad, however, that you and your mother enjoyed it - as that means YOUR money was well spent.

If you went in expecti...I really don't get it. If you went in expecting old school Lone Ranger you were probably disappointed, but I think this was one of the best action comedies of the year.<br /><br />My mom who grew up on the old school Lone Ranger even loved it. I over heard comment where people were disappointed, but if you went into a Johnny Depp / Disney movie to be serious, you shoulded be allow to go to movies.<br /><br />I strongly believe the only reason this movie is failing financially is because the movie critics bad mouthed it so badly.
