The film opens circa 1933, where a small child in a cowboy outfit is shocked, and likely permanently traumatized, when a Native American mannequin on display in a local fair inexplicably comes to life and recounts his adventures alongside “Kimosabe”. Now, replace “Harry Potter” and “Hermione and Ron” with “The Lone Ranger” and “Tonto”, and rejigger the contents of the above paragraph accordingly, and you have as accurate a synopsis of Disney’s “The Lone Ranger” as you will ever come across. And throughout 95% of the series, Harry’s friends Hermione and Ron show themselves to be infinitely more adept and proficient in their wizarding ways than Harry, so much so that Harry does precisely nothing to provide even the most minor assistance to them and, in fact, actively hinders (not to mention thoroughly annoys) his friends in their struggle against Lord Voldemort. Potter not only proves himself to be the most incompetent wizard to ever set foot in Hogwarts by far, but he makes no visible progression from his ineptitude until the last twenty minutes of the series, at which point he takes down the evildoers simply by deciding to man up and displays a level of skill with his wizard’s wand that Snape himself would be envious of. Whenever out hero encounters a minion of Lord Voldemort, or the Prince of Darkness himself, he provides as much of an obstacle to the villain’s plot as a chicken-wire fence would. Review: Imagine, if you will, if the “Harry Potter” film series depicted it’s title character as having the courage of Ichabod Crane coupled with the combat prowess of Pee-Wee Herman. Plot: Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.

On the plus side Johnny Depp is very entertaining as Tonto and it’s not the “Pirates of the Wild West” that it looked like it would be in the trailers.

The Lone Ranger is every bit as bad as you’d heard and it doesn’t know what it wants to be this version of The Lone Ranger is the most incompetent action movie hero there ever was.
