“The Lone Ranger tale carries a charge of excitement and adventure.” – Jerry Saravia on Cinema
“The cinematography by Laszlo Kovacs is awe-inspiring and the John Barry score soars.” – Cool Ass Cinema
“The movie does look good thanks to Laszlo Kovacs’s moody cinematography, the score by John Barry and Albert Brenner’s production designs are great, the support acting is sold, and there is enough of the requisite cowboy action and Western scenery on screen.” – derekwinnert.com
