Johnny Depp was a great Tonto, Armie Hammer not so much but part of that could be writing/directing. Great one liners by Depp. Very, very long chase scene. I really enjoyed the kid and old Tonto interaction and story telling throughout the movie. Depp should get several awards for this film.
I was a bit disappointed. I felt too much of the book was missing or changed in favor of the many love interests of the main characters. It was entertaining and the effects were well done. I heard the next movie will be split into 2 parts, which could be good if the detail is there from the book, as long as part 2 is available at the same time as part 1. If too long a time is between them, it will hurt keeping current of the happenings. Just like this one, too much was forgotten from the last movie.
Lots of action, suspense, twists & turns, great special effects and very nice camera work. I'd see it again. I did read the book before and it generally follows the same path although some of the changes were surprising. As usual, I thought the book was better and hard to put down, I realize it would have made a 4 hour movie. Ron Howard does a nice job pulling this all together, considering his limited access to the Vatican.
One of the better movies of the year. This movie tugs at your emotional strings, highs and lows. I agree with another reviewer - Dirty Harry becomes Archie Bunker. I'd see it again or will probably buy the DVD when it's available.
