The concept had a lot of great possibilities, but they apparently overreached and were trying too hard to have a blockbuster when they could have had a solid story as the start of a franchise that might have turned into a good series of films.

Ghost Rider sounds like a fascinating read.<br />I saw The Lone Ranger on a plane. It was so weird; I kept thinking I didn't know what was going on because I'd jumped into the story too late. An hour or so later I realized I was wrong--the story was just a mess ... so I took a nap instead. :)<br />Kirsten @ <a href="http://ascenicroute.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">A Scenic Route</a>Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874132907100541624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-34406831747810151802014-04-21T20:26:08.253-04:002014-04-21T20:26:08.253-04:00The Lone Ranger trailers don't entice me at al...The Lone Ranger trailers don't entice me at all.
