Dreadful

To start this movie is two and a half hours long but the pacing and structure is so poor that it feels longer. Many lines of dialogue are laughably bad and the delivery just as worse "I can't miss, I am a spirit walker!" Ugh. A good movie often shows something to the audience rather than explain it with dialogue, and the lone ranger has a lot of unnecessary explanation. I felt there wasn't much chemistry between the actors and many of the roles were severely underdeveloped. There are also two child actors who were not great either. The majority of the story is a very played out buddy western with all of the tropes. Tries to be funny, and has a few good lines but more fail. Some decent action sequences but it goes way too far to be believable. Its a step up from Wild Wild West but not by much. It was nice to hear the original theme but we didn't need to hear it three plus times.
