The Lone Ranger (blu-ray) 2013 Western staring Johnny Depp as Tonto and
Armie Hammer as his trusty sidekick, the Lone Ranger.  I saw this once
before and liked it.  On second viewing, I still liked it.  One of the
main things I like about the movie is the framing device.  The movie
starts out in 1933 and has Tonto relaying his past adventures to a kid
dressed up like The Lone Ranger.  Except there are various plot holes
and inconsistencies in his story, which the kid keeps point out as he
tells it.  The movie is directed by Gore Verbinski who also directed
Depp in several Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and has a similar
sensibility.

I had zero interest in Depp hamming it up as Tonto.

I had an above average score and had the good sense to feature Rossini's
"William Tell" at the appropriate moment.

Hans Zimmer, as subcontracted to Michael Einzinger

I hadn't paid attention to Armie Hammer before this movie, even though
he played the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network (2011).
