I love Westerns, but I don't think this is going to be your
typical 'Western' with Jerry Bruckheimer producing and that's
not a bad thing if they don't mess with the Lone Ranger
mythology. This is after all coming from Disney, so I don't know
how watered down this could get since they are aiming this at
the kids. I will Wait For The DVD release most likely.

I just can't bring myself to want to be excited about this.
Didn't the head of Disney say that story didn't matter? Just
checked. He did. And the picture accompanying the article?
Johnny Depp. And considering how much I heard they spent on a
movie about two people on horses, I just... nothing. I got
nothing. This is gonna be like Alice in Wonderland to me.
Don't care.
If you have a good reason for me to care, do let me know.
And I don't say all this to be snarky, I'm just being honest
with my feelings.

I'm the opposite of you Chip.... I so don't care about Westerns.
That's me. I also don't care about musicals or war movies. I
thought the genre fell out of favor with most movie audiences.
When was the last western that registered well with audiences?
Anyway, the only thing I know was the price tag and Neumatic,
trying to conceive where the expense came from.

Very lucky. It could have been worse. I'm surprised with any
Studio in this day and age that anyone, especially someone high
up on the pay scale that Depp is, would even be allowed to do
any stunts, even one as "simple" as riding a horse.

To me, the western is... I don't want to say cheap, but they're
gritty and close to the sand and grime. To me, big scale
westerns that truly rock are "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly"
and "Duck, You Sucker" which I feel like should have been more
the model for this flick than Pirates of The Caribbean on
Horses. The thing about the old west is that they were still
building it, everything was outdoors, you were drenched in sun
and up to your elbows in the elements, you were self reliant
because you needed to be and life was cheap because it was so
easy to lose.
Now, I actually like the idea of putting a superhero or a
Batman-esque figure in this world, but how is it not those
big-budget Zorro movies? And I remember liking the first one,
but how often do we think back on those? What is the comment
they're trying to make on the old west?

Oh my god, if someone doesn't say that in the movie...
See, here's how I see it: movies are a constant conversation,
this is why screenplays age like fish, you're making a comment
on something and trying to push the conversation forward. If
your movie doesn't say anything, even if it's a joke, people
won't care.
