Day 8 - The Lone Ranger (US)

"In 1869 Colby, Texas, lawyer John Reid returns home via the uncompleted Transcontinental Railroad, managed by railroad tycoon Latham Cole. Unknown to Reid, the train is also carrying Tonto and outlaw Butch Cavendish, who is being transported for his hanging after being captured by Dan Reid, John's Texas Ranger brother. Cavendish's gang rescues Butch and derails the train. Tonto is subsequently jailed. Dan deputizes John as a Texas Ranger, and with six others they go after the Cavendish gang."

I really loved this movie, Johnny Depp and the others were amazing. The make up was superb but the CGI needed more time as it looked really fake at certain parts. The script is slightly corny but really works with Johnny's delivery. A surprise (not really) visit from Helena Bonham Carter as madam red, as well as many more famous people taking small roles in this film.
The direction could have been better, I feel like he rushed throughout the film making progress.

Just because it is a Disney film doesn't mean it is for children

3/5
