As for the movie itself, I think it does an excellent job in the retelling of the Lone Ranger Legend. Of the many movie remakes based upon old TV series that I have seen over the years, I certainly rank this movie as being above average. Growing up as a kid in the 1950's, I had the pleasure of first listening to the Lone Ranger on radio, then watching the TV series, and finally seeing him in a full-length color feature at a local theater. Actor John Hart, who has a minor role as newspaper editor, Lucas Striker in the 1981 movie, originally played the Lone Ranger in the TV series, before Clayton Moore took over and became so widely identified with the role.
In 1981, the movie remake of The Legend OF The Lone Ranger got a bad and I felt an unfair rap even before it was released. The trouble stemmed from a dispute between Moore and the studio when Moore insisted that despite being 70, he should still have the lead role in the movie rather than being replaced by a younger actor. Moore made matters worse by insisting on wearing the legendary Lone Ranger mask at all his public appearances without authorization from the studio, which legally owned the trademark to the mask. After the studio took Moore to court and won, Moore further played on public sympathy by wearing dark wrap around sunglasses, since there was a court injunction forbidding him from further wearing the mask. As a consequence, overly zealous Moore fans went out of their way to boycott and bad-mouth the movie. I think there are still some fans today, especially Moore fans, who are still unwilling to give the 1981 movie a fair viewing as the result of this controversy that happened so many years ago.
By the way, since the TV series made a point of always keeping Moore's appearance disguised, or hidden behind the mask, fans can see what the man actually looked liked as an undisguised villain in the serial, Radar Men From The Moon, or it's remake, Zombies of the Stratosphere.
Finally, I like the soundtrack from the 1981 movie scored by John Barry. It was originally released as a LP. I really wish someone would re-release it as a CD.
From young John Reed's witnessing of the tragic killing of his parents by outlaws, through his transformation into the Lone Ranger, and, finally, his rescuing of President Grant from the stronghold of the vile Butch Cavendish with the help of his faithful companion Tonto and trusty steed Silver, this cinematic masterpiece is completely successful in its attempt to relate the early adventures of the legendary Masked Man and his struggle to bring law and order to the Old West.
Along with an excellent storyline and a well above average cast, including Christopher Lloyd as outlaw Cavendish, "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" features an incredible musical score composed by maestro John Barry - a musical genius and "legend" in his own right. Aside from the film's instrumental music, the film's theme song, "Man in the Mask", sung by Merle Haggard, is easily one of the best vocal performances ever from a feature film. The bits and pieces of story narration heard throughout the film, also vocalized by Mr. Haggard, are also exciting and very well written.
Another one of the movie's many highlights are the locations chosen for the film's scenery, which really allow the viewer to feel as though they've actually been transported back in time to the Texas of the late 1800's. Particularly exciting is the magnificent view of mountains and desert which accompanies the exciting chase and robbery of a stage coach toward the beginning of the film.
Don't listen to critics like Leonard Maltin, "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" is truly a wonderful & timeless piece of story telling that can be enjoyed by anyone, young and old alike.

Ce personnage de justicier masqué, qui n'est pas sans rappeler celui de Zorro, à longtemps nourri l'imagination des enfants que nous étions lorsqu'il est apparu cette fois en salles en deux versions cinéma plus concentrée sous le titre du "Justicier solitaire" de Stuart Heisler en 1956, puis sous le titre du "Justicier masqué" en 1958 réalisé par Lesley Selander, dont quelques héros d'une époque du western : d'Hopalong Cassidy au bon vieux Lone Ranger en passant par Kit Carson sont passés devant l'objectif de sa caméra.
Cette édition-là souffre de l'absence d'acteurs de la trempe des Clayton Moore (Lone Ranger) et de Jay Silverheels son ami indien (Tonto) ) car j'ai trouvé les deux nouveaux acteurs ( peu ou pas connus) de ce film assez peu convaincants et manquants de charisme. La version de 2013 de Gore Verbinski du "Lone Ranger, Naissance d'un Héros" avec Johnny Depp dans le rôle de "Tonto" et Armie Hammer dans celui de John Reid contient des scènes novatrices, voire totalement déjantées que l'on peut aimer ou soit que l'on peut détester, selon qu'on les trouve bien trop éloignées de l'histoire originale du Serial de 1936. C'est une affaire de goût
Toutefois, ce western "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" reprend assez fidèlement certains aspects de l'histoire originale avec cependant quelques variations plus modernes, mais sans trop reprendre vraiment en compte une certaine touche humoristique. J'ai apprécié la photographie de ce film qui lors de sa projection donne à voir de remarquables décors naturels au Nouveau Mexique, à Monument Valley , en Arizona, etc. La belle musique du regretté John Barry souligne la beauté de ces paysages et soutient admirablement les scènes d'actions.
Il faut éviter, je le pense, de comparer entre elles les différentes versions du "Lone Ranger" depuis sa création pour n'en garder des mythes du western américain que les moments distrayants de chaque réalisation.
A voir pour se replonger dans une époque de son enfance ou à découvrir par simple curiosité. On a toujours a apprendre des oeuvres du passé à conditions de ne pas en tirer des conclusions trop hâtives, même pour un western déjà daté !
Ce Lone Ranger est un divertissement au rythme sans temps mort, digne héritié de la série et des films précédents, absolument magnifié par une BO superbe et des cascades jamais vues nulle part ailleurs à l'époque.
D'abord destiné à un visionnage familiale, The Lone Ranger est avant tout un film très violent, trop violent pour son public visé, c'est à dire les jeunes enfants à qui étaient destiné toute la gamme de figurines sorties à l'époque...Ce qui n'a pas dû encourager les parents à les emmener voir ce film au cinéma. De plus avoir remplacer l'acteur d'origine Clayton Moore si chère aux fans est très mal passé, mais ce boycott était-il justifié devant l'âge avancé de l'acteur ? Du sang neuf pour remettre le Lone Ranger au goût du jour était primordial, même si plus de respect envers Clayton aurait dû être de mise.
Néanmoins The Legend of the Lone Ranger est un film d'aventure excellent, au rythme trop rapide, mais qui a son lot de scènes palpitantes servies par une BO magnifique.
Notre édition dvd française est la plus belle de ce film, largement recommandable.
Yes Clayton Moore was my hero for years as the Lone Ranger and Silverheels as Tonto, but I have made room in my heart for this Lone Ranger and Tonto too. I have also made a valued place in my film collection for this fine movie!I am only sorry that for so many years I believed the claptrap of the critics instead of finding out for myself as I just did this week, just 32 years late. Shame on me! Hi yo Silver away! Get 'em up Scout!

il faut étre realiste et reconaitre que les acteurs de ce film ne sont pas inoubliables,mais le film posséde un charme certain,la musique de john barry est toujours aussi belles et les paysages far-west sont toujours aussi sublimes grace notament à une trés belle photographie.
je fait parti de ces gens qui ont decouverts le lone ranger ds les années 80,ayant vu tous les anciens serials et films (que j'adore),je ne trouve rien de particuliérement choquant (comme bcp de fans a l'époque de la sortie du film),sur l'aproche du lone ranger,le personage est pudique avec des tones de convictions et une soif de justice sans fin comme tous les héros de notre enfance zorro,davy crockett etc..
un joli film des années 80 injustement inconu,une sortie en français ou vost avec une image remasterisée serait plus que bienvenu...il faut attendre qu'un éditeur fasse ce beau cadeau. "HI YO SILVER....AWAY"
