The preview already showed the train scene with a subsequent train wreck. I'm pretty sure that's the entirety of the movie right there.

I mean, what else are you going to film apart from a steam engine--perhaps the most prevalent/sophisticated/mainstream piece of technology of the time.

It did bad in the box office http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/07/10/lone-ranger-disney-tentpole-strategy/ That's a shame because it's a big fun movie.

Let's face it. No one under the age of 40 remembers the Lone Ranger. And Depp's schtick is getting old. As such, all you had was a western and those just don't do well anymore, even if they are entertaining.

I'm under 40, and I remember the Lone Ranger. The cartoon was on Saturday mornings as a kid. Plus, I watched the old Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels on one of the local channels on Sundays.

Still, I don't think they know 1) how to do a western anymore 2) not just rip off the Pirates of the Caribbean formula without really trying to work off the concepts of the character. The recent comics were a pretty good updating of the concept for the 21st century audience.

I hadn't thought of Tonto as being a formaulaic rehash of Jack Sparrow. I suppose it is, to a greater or lesser extent.
