The UnPopular Opinion: The Lone Ranger

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!

Trying to ride the success of PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, Disney made a big marketing misstep with THE LONE RANGER. A bomb on par with JOHN CARTER, Gore Verbinski's western is an epic blockbuster we don't get these days with solid performances from both Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp. So, join us as we revisit the remake of the classic serial and show you why THE LONE RANGER is a great movie that deserves a second look.

Oh, and if you have any suggestions for The UnPopular Opinion I’m always happy to hear them. You can send along an email to [email protected] or spell it out in the comments below. Provide me with as many movie suggestions as you like, with any reasoning you'd care to share, and if I agree then you may one day see it featured in this very column!
