Just saw this the other night, heard it didn't do too well, but wanted to give it a try, being such a major IP and having preordered the Disney Infinity playset.
Firstly, the BBFC have a lot to answer for these days, I think they're a joke. Since the creation of the 12A certificate, they slap it on every film, no matter the violence or other content (I realise they're trying to set the villain as a real bad villain, not one of these misunderstood "naughty" bad guy types, I'm looking at you Doofensmirtz!, but ghastly stuff like that should not be 12A, it should be 15 rated.
Again, bit unsure what Disney were going for here... Cowboys and Indians is ok, but not as light hearted as Pirates, definite all about greed, revenge, but much darker than Pirates, wouldn't mind my girls seeing Pirates but not Lone Ranger.
The story did drag on, it must be said, went in circles... got a little lost, etc. the constant jumping out of the narrative, the first time was ok, comical even, but after that you grew more depressed for Tonto and more irritated with the boy, well I did anyway. So a lot they should have done better, however still glad I saw it, especially the end was very "Lone Ranger-ry", which we'd been waiting for the whole film really.
