As far as the Lone Ranger goes, I think it kind of shows the death of the "tall tale" in America. Though I do find that it kind of struck out of nowhere. However, when the first train blew up and only a steel beam kept the entire train from squashing the protagonists... AFTER they were thrown from the metal heap and hitting the ground without hardly a scratch. At that point you know you can't take much seriously. However, up to that point I didn't know it was going to be one of those movies, so I was a bit astonished they kind of put something so unbelievable after doing believable things up to that point.
I though it went on a bit too long. That and the 'theme' overstayed its welcome in the final conflict.
However, when one takes it for what it is. An native telling a kid a tall tale, it's not as terrible. Still if you paid money for it it would be... in his words "Bad trade"
