It's still better than the Johnny Depp disaster, but this movie isn't up to the Clayton Moore/Jay Silverheels standard.
It would have benefited from a final confrontation in the lost city. The finale is a little flat, without even as much excitement as some of the LR TV episodes had.
One of the LR guidelines was: "When he has to use guns, The Lone Ranger never shoots to kill, but rather only to disarm his opponent as painlessly as possible." But in this movie both the LR and Tonto shoot to kill.
Another LR guideline was: "Criminals are never shown in enviable positions of wealth or power, and they never appear as successful or glamorous." The main villain is wealthy, powerful and glamorous.
