The Lone Range, aka "Tonto and the Buffoon He Saved" or "Tonto: The Crazy Indian Behind The Legend of The Lone Ranger" or, "Tonto and the Hungry, Dead Crow on His Head"

Iconic Heroes should not be relegated to supporting roles, especially when they are the film's title character. Tonto, stereotypical medicine man/sidekick, calls the shots in/for TLR. The $215 million budget is obvious on the silver screen, but pretty pictures and complex, precise, action set-pieces alone do not a compelling story make. Gore Verbinsky forgot how to tell a coherent story after completing the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. And, as Tonto, Johnny Depp resorts to tacky, over-the-top, Indian shtick throughout the film. Hopefully, Armie Hammer won't suffer the same fate as the last actor who played TLR - Clinton Spilsbury - who, after starring in The Legend of the Lone Ranger in 1981, never acted in Hollywood again.
