Wasn't expecting much after reviews but really enjoyed film, cinema was full and were times when everyone laughed out loud, plenty of action and a good story. Will and already have recommended to friends

what were they laughing at in the 2nd third? anyway, glad I stayed for the end, a very decent action fnale albeit totally impossible. pity the rest was so long and so drawn out.

I was pleasantly surprised with this film, considering the bad reviews. Before the film started, I warned my OH that the film might not be that good. However, we both enjoyed it a lot and thought it was quite funny. We didn't notice the time pass by. 8.5/10

Really enjoyed this. Is it a standard practice that the lights stay down during the credits there's something more to see?

I too wasn't expecting much from this film (I've never understood Depp's appeal and some of the reviews were not too encouraging).

However, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was funny, interesting and not too taxing o/

I think your son and mates are an ideal age to enjoy Lone Ranger. I think it would be appealing to most teenagers rather than small children who could be dragged along because of "Disney" in the title. o/

I saw this on Monday and I did enjoy it, not the best film of the year, but it was funny in quite a few places. I agree about the keep going back to the funfair was pointless and it left lost of unanswered questions and that it was too long, but if asked I would recommend it and I would give it 7/10. My only real disappointment was that we waited after the credits hoping for an extra bit, as happens a lot nowdays, but wished we had not as it was not worth the wait. Not wanting to give anything away for those who have not yet seen [spoiler]all it consisted of was Tonto walking into the desert from a distance, I did hope for maybe a last funny bit but all that happened was he just got further away[/spoiler]
