Helena Bonham Carter has spoken about the critic’s negative reactions to The Lone Ranger and likened it to the initial reception given to Fight Club.
Speaking with The Playlist Carter said “I’ve been in this situation before. With Fight Club, everyone hated it. My mum actually said, ‘Don’t you worry, this is going to be around a lot longer.’ And that was right after Columbine and it was just a bad time.”
She remains hopeful though, after all despite Fight Club’s less than stellar reviews upon release, the film has since gone on to achieve cult-classic status, “I hope it’s going to be reappraised. Tim [Burton] always talks about how a movie gets bad reviews and then we see it on the telly and the little description is a good review. It’s like when did you reappraise this thing? It only came out six months ago and you shat on it.”
The actress went on to say that she is actually quite baffled by the negativity that surrounds the film. “With Lone Ranger, I’m not sure why it attracted such ire. There are some great things in that movie and it’s fun. I think Johnny [Depp] gets taken for granted.”
The Lone Ranger cost Disney an estimated $190 million to produce and performed very poorly at the box office.
