REVIEW - The Lone Ranger

Surprisingly enjoyable if a little frothy re-re-telling of one of our schoolboy favorites - provided your schooldays occurred in, as Arthur Askey used to say, nineteen hundred and frozen to death.

The story was irrelevant. It was all about the fabulous scenery and the light-hearted script. And Johnny Depp's makeup. As Tonto he stole this one. Arnie Hammer was so-so as The Lone Ranger, but it hardly mattered.

So, not a great movie, although perhaps not as much of a stinker as most critics would have us believe.
