'The Lone Ranger' first trailer review

The first trailer for the 2013 action-adventure film, The Lone Ranger has appeared out of nowhere and normally, I woudn't even consider writing about this, but since I am dealing with the diseases known as bordom and a need to practice writing, I have decided to review this trailer. Now the movie is actually coming out in July, so you could probably expect a teaser trailer, but this is basically looks more like a second half of a real trailer, and it's pretty decent. The first half of it are studios showing off their logos and then you see some kind of a typical Western-ish town and people talking about powerful people and then some cool music with Johnny Depp as some Indian shaman (refreshing to see him as a weirdo, isn't it?) and Armie Hammer as some kind of a Cowboy Zorro and that's practically it. You don't really know much about the story, but it looks like you don't really need to. 


If Armie Hammer is The Lone Ranger, why are Johnny Depp's eyes on the poster?


Before this trailer we didn't really have much info on the movie. We knew it was directed by Gore Verbinski, produced by Disney, had the title The Lone Ranger and was starring Depp and Hammer as a Cowboy and an Indian, as the only possible teaser picture on the planet illustrated us. And we that info, I was kind of thinking to myself, that the movie could really go into two directions. It could either take itself too seriously and try to be some kind of a western-throwback or it could just be a slightly ironic and entertaining   western-y adventure movie a.k.a. "Cowboys of the Caribbean". I think they will probably go for the second direction, since the movie is produced by Disney, for god's sake. I also hope so, since it could turn out to be quite a fun film. Just as a piece of interesting trivia, the movie is actually based off an old TV-series, in which the main character's (Lone Ranger's) nephew's son eventually became The Green Hornet in a spin-off series. I'm pretty sure this will not tie with the entertaining 2011 Green Hornet film, but it could relate to it in "butchering" and at the same time, ressurecting a dead franchise.


So what do you think of the trailer? Are you interested in seeing the movie? What kind of movie do you think will it turn out to be? Check the trailer out here, comment below, let me know!
