The internet has changed the world we live in. That’s a statement we’ve all heard and, possibly, even said in the past. However, when you stop and think about it, the reality goes way beyond a catchy soundbite. When you take stock of the industries that have been reshaped by the internet, the results are staggering.

Gore Verbinski and Jerry Bruckheimer's Lone Ranger is a lot better movie than the media line and box office receipts so far might suggest.  The filmmakers succeed here, and bring home the silver if not the gold, by proving their  respects to  the entire Western film tradition through strong story-telling, solid performance, glorious visuals and technical excellence.  It's a different kind of classic with a lot for eyes willing see what it offers and heads ready to have fun.
