Best thing in Lone Ranger


The movie was cr*p but Fichtner nailed the role of the villain. Awesome!

Without a doubt. I wish they had given him more time to be outrageously bad a** instead of having him spend so much of his screen time captured by someone or other. They could easily have lost all of Helena Bonham Carter's bit (an actress I like a lot but who just served no purpose here) and given us more of Butch's gleeful thuggery. God knows you would not have wanted them to add a single extra minute to the run time for any cause, even one as noble as giving Fichtner more screen time.

I know I'm watching it now agree if it wasn't for his voice I couldn't tell it was him either. He is AWESOME in Lone Ranger.

Well I am sorry but I did enjoy the whole romp. It was a typical ongoing piece of action in the Pirate/Indiana Jones style. I did like Jonnny of course, how could you not?

Fichtner was was unrecognisable yet I know him from Invasion and Prison Break and a the few moments of his Batman movie. Being not recognisable [for me not all of you] now means that he played his part fully as an actor an not as someone looking to be seen as a 'be all'. This is the quality of someone wishing to be seen by his peers as genuine to the craft. He did achieve that and may well have deserved to have had more time devoted to this terrible character. If one is being bored then movie run time is perhaps noticeable. I can tell you that if the tale is pacey and in this case sometimes quite amusing then the time factor is not that noticeable.

Enjoyed the tale as told, the CGI as seen and John and Helena [always a treat].

William did a seriously good job in this well done.
