DISNEY appears to have another huge flop on its hands if early reviews of Jerry Bruckheimer's latest epic, The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, are anything to go by.

The film, which was almost five years in the making and cost around $225m, has been savaged by the critics. The bad reviews keep on coming. The first critical salvos were fired over the weekend, and things have only got worse since then.
