'The Lone Ranger' review: The Man of Silver rides again

"This is another fine mess you've gotten us into, Kemosabe."
Everybody's a critic, especially when it comes to critics. No better example exists than the current disparity in reaction to "The Lone Ranger."

Critics hate it. The movie currently has a 24% rating on the Tomatometer, based on 117 reviews. At the same time, more than 55,000 movie viewers give the Johnny Depp take on the Western classic a healthy 68% approval rating.

Who to believe?

In this case, the public clearly knows more than the critics. Depp (Tonto) and Armie Hammer (the title role) will never be accused of delivering a modern retelling of "Hamlet." But they do give audiences a great popcorn flick.
