Super Bowl Spot: ‘The Lone Ranger’

COMMENTS (27)

• At last, something more about the plot
  I liked it was more centered on the Lone Ranger than in Tonto, this time.
  I’m sure Tonto and Silver (lone ranger’s horse) will be the funny part of the movie, but I’m glad they choose to show more of John Reid in this add

    • Plot? It’s Jerry Bruckheimer. You don’t need a plot as long as there is a really big explosion and Johnny Depp phoning in another quirky character in white face.

      Let’s see, Lone Ranger has big explosions and Johnny Depp phoning in another quirky character. Looks like a hit to me.

      • Maybe “hit” as in “break even”.

  • This trailer actually looked great. Surprised the hell out of me. And Depp looks very funny, which is what I’ve been hoping for from this movie. Finally! Man, did that first trailer suck.

• Ummm, trying to be fair, but this kind of skirts the lines. Not funny, not action, not drama, not parody. Feels like The Will SMith Wild Wild West redo which flopped. Now, understand, I’m not rooting against it, but the best news for Johnny Depp is that he’s doing Whitely Bulger next and not another character. He needs to take himself more seriously. He’s a brilliant actor and it’s time he stepped back into Brasco territory. We’ll welcome you Johnny. No more silly characters please.

• Hey you people bashing this….. Please answer this question. Did you honestly really watch the trailer? or just comment because of its production history? Just curious.

  • Seriously watched it and considered the ad. Result is that I feel even stronger that this ad and movie is a piece of rotten tripe.

    • +1 to TomW. See that, Nick L? TomW is right.

  • Nick — TOTALLY agree!

    I mean, does a western have to something so contrived-controversial as ‘Django Unchained’ and NOT be a popcorn movie to create buz?

    It’s an edgy wester superhero blockbuster in the vein of ‘Zorro’. Enjoy it and give it a fair shot!

• This won’t even bring in the young fans once they text and tweet each other. And, to think just for a moment…Disney wisely pulled the plug.

• $300,000,000 for this? I predict another John Carter coming. Wait, wasn’t John Carter a Disney movie also?

  In the words of Nelson – “Ha Ha.”

• And Johnny Depp still has a bird on his head.

• It’s a western Pirates of the Caribbean, even Johnny Depp’s mannerisms. Should do great, remember this isn’t art; they aren’t trying to make another Gone with the Wind.

• I’m a huge fan of Johnny in the POTC movies and would watch as many as they decide to make, but this Tonto reminds me too much of them. In Dead Man’s Chest when he’s with the islanders all dressed up in his crazy garb – that’s what this overly made up Tonto looks like.

  • but nobody is paying to hear the music. They’re paying to see the movie

• Loved it,patiently waiting to see it and have pre-ordered it. Wanted another POC before The Lone Ranger, patiently waiting for that also.Johnny Depp is the best actor ever and will watch any thing he does.

• Depp’s stupid white face and bird hat will turn more people off than it will attract them. He looks totally stupid but the movie looks pretty good. It’s sad that nobody in authority like Jerry or Gore was willing to tell Depp how idiotic he looks in that get-up. It’s the emperor’s new clothes in action everyone was afraid to tell him how stupid he looks like that and the movie won’t make nearly as much as it should because everyone was afraid to tell Johnny he looks like a moron.

  • His look is thanks to whoever the costumer & makeup artists are.
