The Lone Ranger Trailers

This version takes a look at the character in the years before he became a legend. It all begins with the introduction of Luke Hartman, a 20-year old Boston law student who witnesses the murder of his brother, a Texas Ranger. He himself is wounded in the midst of the chaos, but is rescued by the Apache Tonto... and subsequently becomes smitten by Tonto's sister Alope. He then devotes his life to avenging the death of his brother and fighting injustice, and in the process becoming a worldwide legend.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Manthast Absolutely amazing
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
mattachine This is a very light, made for TV movie. Much better than the campy original TV show. But fans of the original TV show will obviously not enjoy this particular. movie.If you were born in the 1980s or above, you'll enjoy this up to date take on the Lone Ranger.Personally I quite liked the relationship shown between Lone Ranger and Tonto (it seemed much more even than the original show) in this movie. It could have been easily called "Tonto and the Lone Ranger".Of course it doesn't hurt that both the Lone Ranger and Tonto are extremely hot guys, so they're not exactly hard on the eyes. It's unfortunate that this show didn't get turned into a TV series, but if you want a light hearted movie that's going to be a-okay for the whole family, you can't go wrong with this movie.
richsqueakychair Listen - up. Some of us have waited for the Western Genre to have a comeback ~ and hopefully more historically correct for Natives and Blacks. This was far from even a hint of come-back but it was SOMETHING WESTERN at least! Let's face it. The original was hoaky too. And corny and all of that. It had all the earmarks of Hollywood of the time ~ as in hoof beats on a hollow sound-stage floor, phoney back-drops, the same local scene re-used ad nausium. Jay Silverheels and CLayton Moore were as stiff and wooden and un-western as Luke and Nathaniel in this 'younger years' version. LOL Don't take it seriously, i mean it has a modern rock soundtrack and machine sewn pin-strip shirts for gawds sake ha ha ha ... just sit back and enjoy the tale and the nostalgic trip to your childhood if you're old enough. It's a fun made-for-TV-movie that is surely DVD worthy perhaps with a few of the half hour originals as as Special Features And Interviews with both cast of old and new.
RavenMaiden I recently watched The Lone Ranger (2003), the T.V. movie and i have got to say that i really liked it. I don't think i've ever really watched a western movie before and i never thought i would, but i'm hooked now, i only hope that they decide to make it a series for this fall. The acting was fabulous, i love Tonto, he was great. And Luke is a deffinate hottie. I loved seeing Wes Studi, he's as amazing as ever. All round its a great show, very entertaining. I'll make a prediction, if this show premiers this fall as a series, its gonna be a hit. Its the best show i've seen on T.V. in ages.
alliecat138 I loved this movie! It is something I hadn't planned on watching, but I am glad I did. I want to see how everything unravels. IT was great and left me wanting to see more. Nathaniel Arcand did an excellent job as Tonto. The story of The Lone Ranger has been a favorite of mine, since I was a little girl and watched the cartoon Every Saturday morning. This definitely will live up to the WB standards, a channel I love.
