I just got finished reading Philip French's interview and question and answer session, and like "Heaven's Gate" was underappreciated, when it was first released, and appreciated for what it was today, so I think sometime in the future that "The Lone Ranger" will be appreciated for what it was, just as it was underappreciated when it was first released. Unfortunately, for underappreciated films, such as "Heaven's Gate" and "The Lone Ranger," it is always too late. They will never get the full credit that they deserve, if they had been fully appreciated, when first released, by most audience members and most critics, excluding Philip French, who were not smart enough, for various reasons, to appreciate them.
