The Lone Ranger Movie

I’m curious about what the older generation thinks about The Lone Ranger movie that just came out (2013).  I have seen several bad reviews.  People really did not like this movie.  However, when the movie was ending and I looked up, the only people there were from the older generation waiting for the credits to finish.  I thought that was interesting because usually it is the younger generation wanting to sit and wait for the end credits to see what else will happen and others are just ready to go (or go to the bathroom).  I just couldn’t help wondering what they were thinking.  I understand where people are coming from with the bad reviews but if I were around 70+ years ago when the show first came out, I wonder if the movie would have been thought about differently seeing it today.
