Mike's Note:  Here Is the First review from a new 'guest reviewer', Our big brother Jobo!  We hope he keeps his reviews coming! Thanks Jobo!

Jobo’s Review:  Johnny Depp pulls off another crazy character!  With that said it’s a shame that more than likely a franchise will not rise out of the disappointing box office ashes.  This movie was overall Great!  It starts out a little confusing and I was not a big fan of the story being told from the perspective of an elderly Tonto.  But it was not enough to ruin the show.  The Chemistry between Depp and Hammer was spot on.  Hammer, a relative new comer to the industry and young 27; pulls off the Lone Ranger even with the bad writing that has him look like a bumbling fool at first.  But when the “William Tell Overture” plays He cements the Role!  Helena Bonham Carter as (Red) does a nice job, but the role could have been played by any other actress as the role did not call for a big name.  Ruth Wilson as (Rebecca Reid) did a solid job as the love interest/Mother/Sister in-law.  Tom Wilkinson as (Cole) does his usually good job at playing a good/bad guy!  And William Fichtner as (Butch Cavendish) plays a really good Bad Guy that you want to see get his!  It’s hard to pigeon hole this movie as a certain type as it contains Comedy, Drama, Action, Romance.  The best description is Adventure!  The action scenes in this movie are worth the price of admission.  If you go to the movies for entertainment then this is a must see movie.  But do yourself a favor see this roller coaster of a movie on the BIG SCREEN!

Best Scenes:  When Lone Ranger fires his gun for first time!  And when the “William Tell Overture” sounds!

Jobo’s Rating:  Worth the price of the ticket!
