3.0 out of 5 stars Time for a re-evaluation, October 31, 2005

This review is from: The Legend of the Lone Ranger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Granted, this film could have received better treatment if Clayton Moore had been treated a little better. Now that he has passed, let's look at it from another perspective. It actually was a better than average flick. Spilsbury's acting was a little amateurish. Over-dubbing his voice really showed a lack of confidence in his abilities. It's time to release it on DVD so a new generation can express their opinions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time to bring the Ranger home on DVD, July 15, 2005

This review is from: The Legend of the Lone Ranger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This Movie is available on DVD Region 2 in Europe. How unAmerican! It's time to bring him home.
I saw this movie several times when on first run, back when the nearst 1st run house was 45 miles away. People cheered when he first wore the mask and "that" song came through the speakers, laughed at President Grant's threat to Col Custer to send him to Montana, marveled at Christopher Lloyd's villain Cavindish and Michael Horse's dignified Tonto.
After seeing the movie I saw the televised review by two "Windy City" reviewers and was amazed at the inaccuracy of their description of several scenes. It made me wonder if they'd bothered to watch the film.
Some have even described it as "Hoaky", if dignity, devotion, and duty are hoaky we need more hoaky. This film is one you can enjoy with your parents or your grandchildren and it's time for it to be available on DVD inn the USA.

3.0 out of 5 stars He couldn't take Clayton Moore's place, but who could?, September 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Legend of the Lone Ranger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There are few movies that come to mind that receive such a bashing as this one. The musical score/narration is almost painfully campy and some of the dialog is as wooden as the delivery by the actors. However, there is still a great deal to enjoy in this film. Some film characters are icons that simply must be experienced by a child and the Lone Ranger is one of them. Klinton Spilsbury is no Clayton Moore, but who could be? Clayton Moore IS the Lone Ranger as much as Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes. When one thinks of the Lone Ranger, who comes to mind except Moore and Jay Silverheels as Tonto? Who can live up to an icon like that? Anyway, Spilsbury and Michael Horse do the best they can, but unfortunately this film was received so badly, it probably killed any chance of a new Ranger film ever being made again. With the classic Clayton Moore adventures all but impossible to come by (AND THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED!) in watchable condition, this is an enjoyable and (for now) available addition to the Ranger's screen adventures.
