1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE DVD Transfer of a Mediocre Movie from 1981, August 27, 2008
By atrac (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
First of all, indeed -- amazon.com has the reviews section wrong. Most of the other reviews are referring to the old television show, NOT the 1981 movie starring Klinton Spilsbury.

Now that we have that out of the way, there's little else to defend about this movie. Klinton Spilsbury (who looks like a more chiseled version of Rick Springfield), just isn't very good in the part. Admittedly, his voice was dubbed by actor James Keach, and I think this makes his performance even more wooden. It's way too monotone. I would love to hear Klinton's real voice some day.

The movie does have some saving graces. John Barry's score is absolutely terrific (the Waylon Jennings "songs" are quite the opposite though -- any time his one man "Greek chorus" comes from the speakers, it's flat out embarrassing). Jason Robards is quite good (although with limited screen time) as Ulysses S. Grant). Christopher Lloyd is actually pretty good as the bad guy (although I don't know how people SO familiar with his "Taxi" character could not laugh when they saw him in this.

What makes this a one-star review is the HORRIBLE DVD transfer of this film. It literally looks like they took a VHS copy and made the DVD out of it. It's 2 channel Dolby Digital (and sounds as flat as could be) and the picture is 4 x 3 and not formatted for 16 x 9 screens. It's embarrassing. This is 2008 -- I KNOW they could have done better than this.

As another reviewer said, "don't waste your money on this."

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my Guilty Pleasures, November 11, 2008
I remember watching The Lone Ranger with my Father and when the movie came out, I was excited to relive that feeling. I thought the movie was a good retelling of the origion story and that it gave John Reid/Lone Ranger more of a human feel and that I could relate with him. I know that others didn't like the film, but I can still watch the film and feel like a kid again with it. I almost feel like yelling "High-Yo Silver, Away" everytime I hear the William Tell Overture. It's one of my personal favorites.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is the one from the 80s, October 23, 2008
By Rodney Langley (Baton Rouge, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The description on this item had me confused, but I bought it anyway. It's what I was hoping it was, the Lone Ranger movie from 1981. The movie was actually a little cheesier than I remembered with Merle Haggard narrating it (don't get me wrong, I love Merle, but it was sooo 70s sounding). Also, they did absolutely NO remastering of this at all. I could have done just as good of a job recording my VHS copy to DVD. Over all, it's better than not having it at all and something nice for kids to watch to get an idea of some of the heroes that were around in older generations.
