Yeah, I was really really insulted when I found out they didn't actually film "Apollo 13" in space.
I thought "The Lone Ranger" was fun. Exactly what I expected.
This.
I thought it was funny which is what it was supposed to be, i didn't go to see a documentary on the wild west.
And this.
I saw it today and I enjoyed it. It was a fun way to kill some time that I would have spent watching reruns on the Science Channel. It had some good suspenseful moments, some good action moments and appropriate placement of comic relief. The TCR was used simply as a tying point for the plot. Lush mountains were used because the mountains that Texas has are uneventful in the eye candy department. Saying that you didn't like it because it wasn't historically accurate is like saying you don't like Looney Toons because you can't survive a fall off a cliff, it was made by Disney after all.
The real Lone Ranger and Tonto.

In regards to that, I think the characters in the remake were portrayed better historically (awe crap now I'm doing it) than what you posted. I didn't know they had the Village People in the 1860's.
