The Lone Ranger Reviews
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Hi-ho, Silver! '50s-style Western gunplay abounds.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
It's a fun watch.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
The Lone Ranger should prove to be a treat for the youngsters, as well as their elders who are dyed-in-the-wool Western fans. It offers little, however, to make it palatable for those who are not particularly fond of this type of entertainment.
Christian Science Monitor
Rod Nordell
This film will no doubt draw laughter of sophisticates, with its clichés of plot and character... But the story is really only a framework for action. And The Lone Ranger offers almost everything in the book.
Washington Star
Harry MacArthur
The Lone Ranger does have enough action to keep devotees of the series happy... Cattle stampedes, hand-to-hand encounters, dynamiting and sundry other embellishments add their uproar to the noise of gunfire.
Los Angeles Times
Philip K. Scheuer
The Lone Ranger is now, for the first time, a theater movie -- and it puts the western right back where it was in the galloping flickers, be fore words like '"psychological" and "offbeat" came into the screen lexicon.
Variety
William Brogdon
[The production uses] the the scenic splendor of Southern Utah to provide beautiful backdrop for the Herb Meadow script. Stuart Heisler's direction is actionful and excellent. Some of the fight sequences he stages are thrillingly rugged.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Win Fanning
It is perhaps unfair to saddle [Screenwriter Herb] Meadow with all the blame. It is difficult to imagine just what a writer forced to work within the confines of this childish legend could possibly come up with except a "B" category Western.
New York Daily News
Wanda Hale
The new movie starring the masked rider who has given kids of the country, and some grownup kids, so much pleasure for so long a time... is a pretty good western, better than I expected.
Kansas City Star
KC Star Staff
The difference in mediums has occasioned no departure in the characterizations of Clayton Moore as the masked stalwart or Jay Silverheels as Tonto, with both living up to past traditions of cunning and daring.
America Magazine
Moira Walsh
The picture proceeds exactly according to formula. It has enough elementary action to have provided a bonanza for stunt men but its appeal would appear to be limited strictly to small boys of all ages.
Baltimore Sun
R.H. Gardner
[Screenwriter Herb Meadows] has sustained this mellow flavor of the old Saturday afternoon Western throughout.
Miami Herald
Bob Freund
It plays rather well, as program Westerns go.
Buffalo News
Jeanette Eichel
Men, women and children were exhilarated by [the Lone Ranger's] energetic bravura and richly rewarded by the unfolding episode's chills and thrills.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
[The Lone Ranger] has the unwearied spirit of a noisy kid. That is to say, Stuart Heisler, who directed this outdoor jamboree, has kept it moving at the pace of a cattle stampede, with dust flying and bodies bouncing around like kegs.
Detroit Free Press
Helen Bower
This new movie should give new life to his legend. Like their fathers before them, in she small boys may be running around with masked faces, having forgotten Hopalong Cassidy and Davy Crockett.
Photoplay
Janet Graves
Bonita Granville draws sympathy as Bettger's gentle, ill-treated wife, and Perry Lopez shows appeal in too short a role.
San Francisco Examiner
Hortense Morton (Screen Scout)
Moore and Silverheels are apt in performance. And, it's pleasant to see Bonita Granville back on a cast list... Fast riding, gallantry on the range, and virtue winning over vice, all against a colorful background, make for a tidy package of suspense.
