The Lone Ranger (2003 TV Movie)
8/10
I've had enough of slanderous comments.
29 April 2003
While reading many of the comments about this movie, I noticed that a fair percentage of them are inflammatory. While this version of the Lone Ranger was aimed at teen girls(I happen to be one) as is obviously depicted by placing Murray as the Ranger, what viewers tend to overlook is that it is just that, a version of the story. I've heard many comments on the lack of good costuming,and I agree it did look way too modern, the actual Lone Ranger costume is a legally bound costume. No one but Clayton Moore can wear that costume legally. Also the William Tell overture, that to I'm afraid cannot be legally used in its original form. And the hip- hop? I have to admit I was paying more attention to the beautiful sets than the background music.While hip- hop is not exactly the best thing to play, I can definitely see why it was, considering the target audience. The dialogue was not fabulous, I know. Oh, and the changing of the character's name? Once again I'm afraid the law gets in the way. On a special note, I suggest doing a little research before condemning a VERSION of a classic show.
