Finally, a movie everyone can agree on -- it was horrible!
This movie was so bad that the only way the producers could get any kind of buzz going about it was by legally barring Clayton Moore from dressing as the Lone Ranger when he went to visit sick kids in the hospital.
This movie is so bad that it destroyed the directing career of William A. Fraker. This movie is so bad that Klinton Spilsbury, the Lone Ranger, never landed another role, his acting apparently being so inept that his voice was dubbed over with that of another actor.
Christopher Lloyd (Butch Cavendish) managed to survive this train wreck with his career intact, and Michael Horse (Tonto) found his way into David Lynch's "Twin Peaks, so it didn't destroy everyone it touched, but I'm sure it was a near thing.
As for the movie itself: the story is dull, the pacing is slow, and the acting is wooden. So, all in all, not that far from the 2013 version with Johnny Depp.
Its not even the kind of bad movie which is fun to watch, it is just SUPER dull. If you're tempted (as I was) to watch it just to see if it is as bad as everyone says, resist the urge. Its just that bad.
