"Who was that masked man?...I wanted to thank him."
14 June 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The Lone Ranger is simply the coolest western Hero ever. A mythological figure of demigod status. He has sculpted good looks framed in a stunning yet simplistic outfit (no spangles or fringes here). He speaks in mellifluous tones that demand attention and respect. He has style without being pretentious, smoothly spinning his gun back in the holster and gliding onto his beloved Silver whether at a standstill or a gallop.

Along with his faithful companion Tonto, who exudes excessive amounts of supreme stature in his own right, the Ranger must rescue a kidnapped little girl, stop an all out Indian uprising, and battle numerous amounts of injustice, greed, and bigotry. It's all done with wit, skill, and a fearful fighting style unequaled in the untamed West.

This movie version is a well-produced, colorful, well-written, well-done addition to the TV show that will please western fans of all ages. Not just the kids.
