The Lone Ranger

Well, hello again! I've just finished watching my new favorite movie, The Lone Ranger, directed by Gore Verbinski, featuring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as John Reid, the Lone Ranger. Yep, this is the same guy who directed Pirates of the Caribbean and who starred Johnny Depp once again in one of the best movies ever made. Filled with comedy, action, and plenty of suspense, The Lone Ranger makes you wish it never stopped. (It also makes you want a stress ball to squeeze during some of the really intense moments so that you don't make your friend's arm go numb). Tonto, the "lunatic" Indian, as one of the bad guys puts it, is hilariously witty and seriously clever. He partners up with John Reid, a lawyer and strict man of justice, as they fight against the railroad business and its greed. John Reid has a lot to learn about being an outlaw, and the way Tonto makes a fool of him keeps the movie theater full of laughter. Below are some of my favorite quotes from the film:

[from trailer]
John Reid: Why're you taking to that horse? Why am I covered in dirt?
Tonto: I buried you.
John Reid: Why am I alive?

[from trailer]
[Silver climbs on a tree branch]
Tonto: Something very wrong with that horse.

Tonto: Nice Shot.
John Reid: That was supposed to be a warning shot.
Tonto: In that case, not so good.

Tonto: [Scorpions covering Tonto and Reid] Nature is definitely...
John Reid: ...out of balance.

John Reid: [Silver has appeared on a rooftop to save them] The horse can fly?
Tonto: Don't be stupid.

Tonto: Horse says you are spirit walker. A man who has been to the other side and returned. A man who cannot be killed in battle. Something very wrong with that horse.

[from trailer]
John Reid: If we ride together, we ride for justice.
Tonto: Justice is what I seek, Kemosabe.

Tonto: [translating "Kemosabe"] Wrong brother.

John Reid: Hi ho Silver, away!
Tonto: Never do that again.
