Don't let reviewers make a decision for you if you want to see it. I'm gonna go see it tomorrow. I plan on kicking back and enjoying. Not expecting an Oscar contender.

I knew this would underperform... it suffers from Land of the Lost/Speed Racer syndrome, meaning that the much needed younger audiences havent the faintest idea what in the hell its all about because they've never heard of it in their lives.

The parents know, but the kids could care less.

There's nothing deep, it's just fun. Not an astounding movie by any means but if you're in the right mind set (aka ready for some brain candy) you'll enjoy it.

I just saw it and that's what I thought--it's dumb, but it's a fun dumb.

I heard that the William Tell Overture is in this to great effect...so now I HAVE to see it.

There are some really dumb people in Hollywood. WTF were they thinking?

Just watched it. I enjoyed it. Its not nearly as good as PoTC, but its a fun way to spend a few hours. I was actually surprised how serious a western it was.

it has a fair amount of violence in it. And yes the William Tell Overture makes a great appearance during the final action scene which was tremendous. Gore Verbinski truly knows how to build an action scene with scale

They shut down the pass north of Creede to film this piece of shit. I wanted my parents to see how beautiful it is there, BUT NO.

For what it's worth, the vistas and scenery in this thing were incredible. The funny thing is, they tried to pass it off as Texas in the movie. ROFL

Yeah, it was shot in N.M. although half of N.M looks like Texas.

I think I may be officially sick of Johnny Depp. He looks like he's just doing his Jack Sparrow schtick again.

Did you see the film or are you making a generalization based on nothing other than your brain playing leapfrog?

I'm making a generalization based on nothing other than my brain playing leapfrog. That's why I qualified it with the "I may be".

Also Utah and Nevada; it was quite a reach trying to pass off Monument Valley as parts of Texas.

Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Went in with low expectations based upon the harsh reviews, and came out wondering if I just saw the same movie all the critics were blasting.

Funny, entertaining plot, and great visuals. I found Tonto's interaction with the dead crow and the horse quite funny. Like someone said, it's dumb fun. Was a bit surprised at a couple of the violent scenes given that it's a Disney flick.

I don't rate movies, but I highly recommend seeing it.
