The Lone Ranger (2013 version) [R]

I have a hard time believing there is much more than $250+ million of nostalgia out there.

The original actor who played tonto in the 1950's lone ranger tv show was named jay silver heals. He actually lived in Brooklyn, ny somewhere on ave H

My favorite ZORRO movie the one with the great Tyrone Power and basil rathbone. Maybe the best sword fighting scene in movie history.

The best zorro that I loved as a kid was the Disney tv show zorro staring guy Williams."out of the night when the full moon was bright"

On Johnny depp who liked him in Donnie Brasco? I could not get past his little baby hands. Who could believe he could actually hurt someone with those hands. That is why you never actually see him hit anyone in that movie. He just bitch slapped them.

Is there any chance this won't be a John Carter like disaster at the box office?
Scratch that, this will make John Carter look like a massive success.

John Carter was mediocre at best. I agree that it was terribly marketed, I am a fairly big fan of the medium and I only found out about its release the day prior. My main issue with it was the fact that the two leads had absolutely no chemistry.

Depp will be a huge draw, but I'm not sure this is the kind of material that will put posteriors in the seats, Depp or no Depp. The last "big" western (Cowboys and Aliens) was a pretty big Box office disappointment.

What amused me a lot was that Disney decided to cut the title down from "John Carter of Mars" to just plain "John Carter" because they were afraid people would remember and associate it somehow with their 2011 flop "Mars Needs Moms"!
