I just saw this at a friend's house and it didn't seem as horrible as many people claim it was. Though I do remember the action figures being really cool.
shareAt least it's better than SUPERMAN RETURNS...
The 21st Century deserves a Superman worthy of the Colbert Nation -- STEPHEN COLBERT FOR SUPERMAN!
Oh jeez. here we go.

I also remember when the action figures came out. I never had any of them though I do recall wanting them. Last year I was at a toy and collectible show and saw a couple of the action figures still in the package. Brought back memories.

Hardly.

No, it's not that bad.
the cinematography is outstanding.
Loyd rocked it.
Michael Horse was perfect as Tonto.
the Lone Rangers brother nearly stole the show.
his rant on the president fits my outlook on our current situation like a glove, very Texan, very independant and he can't stand the president, not unlike almost everyone i know.
but
The Ranger didn't have a Texas accent.
after seeing Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday, this is un-acceptable.
though i think Doc was a more Georgian accent.
the william tell theme was just corny...they should have saved it for the end credits.
Spillsbury had a "really not Texas" hairdo
Haggards poetry hasn't aged well.
Robards was great as grant.
the friendship between the two boys was perfect.
the scene in the canyon was just flat BRUTAL!...it may be edited on the vhs release, somehow it was more shocking in the theaters but i was 7 i think.
the female lead is a real knockout!
give it a shot, it's no apocalypse now, but it has a bit more gravity than Silverado...just nowhere near as fun.
can ya'll tell i'm a fan.
i'm sure you can tell i dissregard spelling and punctuation, but hey, i'm a comic book artist, i leave that stuff to the writers and editors:)
I agree with batfish. I also felt that Lone Rangers brother was cooler than him. I always thought they sould have had that actor play Lone Ranger.
shareActually, the film itself was great. It did a great job of script, Robards and others acting. Most of the stuff that people may not have liked were news stories about the guy playing the Ranger and not the movie itself. When I went to see it in a full theater, the audience loved it. And viewers commenting on local radio didn't say anything bad about it.
As far as I could see, the public liked the film. Today, with the clean cut "Spiderman" I think this would be bigger than it was when it first came out.

Absolutly. I think if the studio had left Clayton Moore alone, or even embraced him this movie would not have been a flop. I'm not certain that it would have spawned any sequels but it would have prbably made a good profit.
shareIt was a very good film.
As far as The Ranger not having a "Texas accent", did ANY of the actors who played him have one????? (And remember, in the story, he had been sent to Detroit as a young child, you could use that excuse)
