the untold origin of the lone ranger . it show who he be and how and why he become the ranger . legendary bomb . the idea be not a bad one reinvent and introduce the lone ranger for 1980s audience . right off the bat though there be problem . the studio order clayton moore ( the original ranger ) to stop appear anywhere a the lone ranger . it lead to a nasty little battle that make headline . i know of people who refuse to see the film because of how moore be treat . also they hire the awesomely untalented klinton spilsbury to play the ranger . spilsbury be very handsome and muscular but have absolutely no charisma and just couldn not act . in fact his whole vocal performance be redubbed by another actor . also his off screen antic ( public drunkenness and beating people up ) do not help matter . act aside and the script be dull and slow . also the ranger himself doesn not show up until an hour in . there be some complaint at the time that the movie be too violent for a pg . however i do not think it be that bad . there be a few ( very few ) thing do right here the photography be truly beautiful while michael horse be excellent a tonto while christopher lloyd be lot of fun a the villain and when the lone ranger finally show up ( with the william tell overture boom from the soundtrack ) it really rouse . but and all in all and this be a boring and terrible attempt to bring back the lone ranger . it easy to see why this bombed . a 4 mostly for the photography .
