First Trailer of The Lone Ranger with lots of Johnny Depp

The trailer is finally here for Gore Verbinksi's The Lone Ranger and it actually looks pretty descent. Actually shows some good footage of the cool style of film with main characters (or more of Johnny Depp than the main person). I have faith in the film, but we need more Lone Ranger Armie Hammer or as most know him as the rich twins from The Social Network. Here is trailer and synopsis.

“The Lone Ranger” is a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption."

The Lone Ranger rides into theaters on July 3rd, 2013

Gore Verbinski Taking On The Lone Ranger?

Deadline is reporting that director Gore Verbinksi is thinking about making Disney's The Lone Ranger his next project.

If this news is true then The Lone Ranger would mark the 5th time that Verbinski has worked with Johnny Depp. That is so close to stealing Depp away from Tim Burton that there could be a Depp war between the two men.

The Lone Ranger was announced a few years ago by mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer and then came the news that Johnny Depp has been cast as The Lone Rangers sidekick Tonto. Although we have the sidekick there is no clue on who would portray The Lone Ranger himself. Rumors have been leaning towards George Clooney.

So is it good news that Gore Verbinski might take on The Lone Ranger with Depp as a Native American sidekick?

Alice In Wonderland Review

I know it's a little late for a review on this movie, but I need to do at least a quick review.

Alice in Wonderland is good "Burton" from beginning until the pointless last half.

The movie started out very promising and held up with good acting from stars such as Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Anne Hathaway, and Matt Lucas. The person that surprised me as being great was the main star Mia Wasikowska. She was believable at being a non girlie and odd young woman. I will say that Johnny Depp was perfect for Mad Hatter, but he ended up coming off as a slight scottish version of Jack Sparrow sometimes. That bothered me just a bit.

The story is intriguing because it isn't a remake or sequel according to Tim Burton. I think it's actually a mixture of both because it has some borrowed from the book and added some new scenes that added  emotional attachment to characters such as Alice and the Mad Hatter.

The direction Burton was going for is along the lines of his previous films, but maybe to much cgi for his taste. The 3D aspect of the film is lackluster at best and I would suggest that for this film it doesn't matter if you see it in 3D or not. The cgi was actually not bad and felt like who ever did the character and wonderland designs was tripping on acid. I mean just look at the world in the poster, it just looks like a Burton flick. The designs are very original and brilliantly colorful. I have to give a hand to them for that.

The movie just took a turn for worse close to the third act because the battle sequence felt like numerous other cg battles from average action films. It felt like they just added the scene to fill up time and could have done so much more during that part. Also, there was a utterly pointless, but entertaining dance number by the Mad Hatter. That just felt out of place.

I give Alice In Wonderland a

B-
