The Lone Ranger

Let me start by saying I'd love to hear what someone else thinks about Johnny Depp playing a Native American. . . . . .

Besides being torn about that--I'M SUPER PUMPED FOR THE LONE RANGER!  So I'm caving to the countdown. 

The preview is mind blowing.  I like a good action packed western with cheesy lingo and lots of dirt.  This looks like it has both.  Based on what the preview shows, I can picture this being to land version franchise of Pirates. . . . . but that might only be the way Depp makes it feel. 

So let's talk actors ^^^ these three actors.

Armie Hammer is so pretty.  His roles in big movies though always have him scrubbed in dirt.  OK maybe not in The Social Network, but do we have to count that?  Otherwise his roles have been the pretty boy on TV.  I've always pictured the Lone Ranger as more of a bad ass than a pretty boy, so hopefully it pans out for him.  Prince Alcott in Mirror Mirror is when I fell for Hammer because as a Disney Romantic you want the prince and the princess to end up together--and he was rather dreamy--dirt and all.

Johnny Depp.......oh beautiful Johnny Depp, From Cry Baby to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, your roles have been the most broad on the acting spectrum I have ever seen: and I love it.  As most women my age if it wasn't Cry Baby it was Edward Scissorhands that made us fall for you.  Even as Sweeny Todd or the Mad Hatter I couldn't get enough Depp screen time.  But as an American Tribal side-kick?  I don't want to point out the obvious lack of native looking skin color here, but the bad accent, or the lack of accent and the poor stereotypical bad-Indian grammar known eons ago in not-so-PC westerns, may not be Depp's best role.  We'll just have to wait until July to know for sure I guess. 

Helen Bonham Carter.  One of my favorite British actors, but probably my favorite British actress.  She of course plays a better bad guy than a good guy.  Other than that I really can't say anything about the upcoming. 

All in all, The Lone Ranger is going to go one of two ways.  It will either explode into instant popularity like the Pirates franchise or it will be another action packed flop like John Carter.  Let's hope it's not the latter.
