American film critics “slit the jugular” of ‘The Lone Ranger’, according to star Armie Hammer.

Yahoo! Movies sat down with ‘Ranger’ stars Hammer, Johnny Depp, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski in the aftermath of the film’s disappointing US opening.

The team all agreed that US critics were the reason for it’s not-too-impressive $29 million box office opening, and that reviewers pre-judged the film based on behind-the-scenes problems.

“I think the reviews were written seven-to-eight months before we released the film,” said Johnny Depp. “I think the reviews were written when they heard Gore [Verbinksi] and Jerry [Bruckheimer] and me were going to do ‘The Lone Ranger’. They had expectations that it must be a blockbuster. I didn’t have any expectations of that. I never do.”

Ignoring his disapproving publicist, Hammer agreed with his co-star. “I have a delightful opinion about that that she’s gonna get mad to me about sharing [his publicist]. But I’m going to tell you.

“This is the deal with American critics: they’ve been gunning for our movie since it was shut down the first time, that’s when most of the critics wrote their initial reviews.

“If you go back and read the negative reviews, most of them aren’t about the content of the movie, but more what’s behind it. It’s got to the point with American critics where if you’re not as smart as Plato, your stupid. That seems like a sad way to live your life.

“While we were making it we knew people were gunning for it. I think it was the popular thing when the movie hit rocky terrain they jumped on the bandwagon to try and bash it. They tried to do the same thing with to ‘World War Z’, it didn’t work, the movie was successful. Instead they decided to slit the jugular of our movie.”

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who made billions with the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise, thinks critics will eventually re-appraise ‘The Lone Ranger’.

“I think they were reviewing the budget, not reviewing the movie. The audience doesn’t care what the budget is - they pay the same amount if it costs a dollar or 20 million dollars.

“It’s unfortunate because the movie is a terrific movie, it’s a great epic film. It has lots of humour. Its one of those movies that whatever critics missed in it this time, they’ll review it in a few years and see that they made a mistake.”

. . . orrrrrr maybe spending a quarter of a billion dollars on a mediocre cowboy movie just isn't very wise.

Weird coincidence.
Was reading this post and watching 49ers game.
Saw 'This is the End' on the the list than imagination returned to the end of the movie, and how weird it was that heaven was [spoiler alert!!] a Backstreet Boys reunion.
The 'Backstreet's Back' chorus was faintly playing in my head, and right as the 49ers went to kickoff, the key change/glissando towards the end of the song* played in my head and suddenly over the Candlestick PA system SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!

Plate of Shrimp!!!

I just bought this movie and was planning to watch it tonight. No lie.

Use the spoiler tag, Douche. That's what it's for.

Bruce Willis was dead the whole time, shitbird.

Though about spoilering, in an abundance of caution for the biggest nellies on the board [you know, the .0001% of the world who have any interest in the subject matter of 'This is the End' yet still know nothing about it], but I realized that anything outside of a spoiler tag besides 'something weird happened to me' would still spoil it anyway.

Nice. That's very courteous of you.

Demonpenz · 10-06-2013, 08:35 PM

I am glad that it was a slide to a different pitch and not a complete change in the octive singing, because that would have really creeped me out that you knew that 2 verses were in one octive then the finisher was a bit higher.

So basically Lone Ranger was so bad that the only thing worth discussing is the spoiler etiquette of mentioning the Backstreet Boys appearance in This Is The End.

What a dick. He spoils a movie in a completely unrelated thread. The ****in' movie has been out for just a few short weeks on DVD.

BabyLee, you one who sucks the penis, I'm going to PM and Rep EVERY SPOILER FOR EVERY NEW MOVIE UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

Dickface.

You might want to be a little more concerned about when your Hollywood friends find out you're still capable of being spoiled regarding this movie in 10/2013.

As I pointed out, I couldn't even bring the occurrence up, something that actually happened and I found interesting, without spoiling it somehow. So, I figured that this movie had been out long enough, been discussed long enough, and was niche enough that people already knew the story or had no interest in it at all, that there was no use in exercising valiant means to mask the details of the anecdote.

I'm still capable of being spoiled for a reason, and everyone knows it.

I have a one year old daughter, a wife recovering from cancer and major cancer surgery and a MIL seeing her final days due to cancer.

But thanks for the concern.

Count me outside the circle of 'everyone.'

Must've missed the updates amongst all the 'I'm awesome and know all, **** your flyover country bumpkiness' bluster of the past decade.

And thanks for turning my post in this thread into my supposedly maliciously kicking 'Make a Wish Foundation, Dane Division' square in the nuts.
