Editorial Review:
This much-maligned big-screen version of the well-loved radio and TV show stands as one of the rare cases in which the entire performance of one of a film's stars was redubbed by another actor. (For the others, see Andie McDowell in Greystoke and Harvey Keitel in Saturn 3.) In this case, it was youngster Klinton Spilsbury (and whatever happened to him?), cast as the famous Texas Ranger, ambushed by villains and left for dead, only to return with silver bullets, a horse named Silver, a mask, and a Native American sidekick named Tonto (Michael Horse) on a one-man mission for justice. In this film he battles a vicious group of bad guys led by a flinty-eyed Christopher Lloyd. Spilsbury's every line was redubbed by James Keach. Despite a critical drubbing, this is actually a better Western than you would expect, given its long-sullied reputation. --Marshall Fine

So many BAD reviews.
I was surprised.
This movie "bombed" because it made people angry, and the film was subsequently boycotted on principle, but NOT BECAUSE IT WAS A BAD FILM.
As some reviewers suggest the main actors performance was so bad he never worked again! Wow. That's an uneducated and lame remark. The main actor probably never worked again partly because of the films lack of success. Which I've already noted had nothing to do with the actually quality of ... Read More
Rating:  - Who Was That Masked Man?
Once again a great movie that can not be found on DVD. This film is well worth the search if you have not seen it. Incredible cast Jason Robards, Christopher Loyd, Richard Farnsworth even the other lesser known actors (Klinton Whosbury)pulled off realy good performances. I Would cut off a toe for a widescreen version on DVD, It's that good! I know you will enjoy.
Rating: - Time for the Legend to arrive on DVD
This is a great film. I still have the movie on VHS and going to watch it tonight. I hope the studio brings it out on DVD (with extras hopefully) soon. I know there are a LOT of people who are anxious to see this wonderful movie on DVD.
Rating: - Bring The Lone Ranger Home!
This was easily one of my favorite films as a kid. Every once in a blue moon it comes out on cable and I always seem to miss it. When are the distributors going to get around to releasing it in region one format?Come on already!
Rating:  - Plain Awful!
This is one of the dullest, slowest, most insipid, most boring, most rotten dialogue movies ever made. The poetry narration is assinine, too. What a piece of junk. Glad I got it out of the library so didn't have to pay a cent to see it.
