The (deservedly) Lone Ranger

As you probably don't care, THE LONE RANGER,  a current film starring Johnny Depp as Tonto, has been subjected to a lot of deep political analysis. Forgetaboutit.  The movie is a well-intentioned farce of a sometimes hallucinatory type. It is leadenly ironic (irony escapes serious political people), and my is it badly written. The ranger is one of those sit-com characters who cannot learn from experience, so he lives out the same joke repeatedly. Johnny Depp is the only interesting thing in the film, and that is not enough. Do not pay money to suffer through 2.5 hours of wild and wacky tedium.
