Overall I enjoyed it, but it’s not very memorable. The animation was very good, it was realistic too. The voice acting was good also. I thought the story needed work, it was a little predictable, but it was mostly fun to watch. I reccomend it.

Rango

Contrary to other animated feature that goes deep in depicting fine detailed peculiar world that differentiates from the "human" world, the makers in here decided to instead resonate it as much as possible which is where it stands alone. Gore Verbinski's vision is projected clean and crystal clear that easily connects and communicates with the audience through excellent execution skills. Johnny Depp is perfectly fit for the role; as it resembles too much with Jack Sparrow and is supported with a great cast like Isla Fischer and Bill Nighty. Rango is a typical western feature that is seasoned by some new spices and flows with genuine emotion which keeps it upbeat despite of its predictable script and seen-this-seen-that conflicts.… Expand

Rango must be one of the best looking CGI animated movies even til this day. It looks like a movie that was ahead of its time with its amazing photorrealistic visuals.

It looks like a movie that was ahead of its time with its amazing photorrealistic visuals. It's wonderfully written, it's funny, it has a wonderful score, the voice acting is great and might be one of the best roles Jhonny Depp has had in recent memory and for an animated movie it gets dark at times. This is not a kids movie, or at least not one that searches to appeal to them as it has guns, alcohol, murder, don't get me wrong, I praise the movie for being a PG rated movie that has all those things, not too common in an animated movie with that rating. My only issue with the movie is the story, the theme of finding who you really are could've been developed better, and many characters serve more as plot devices, rather than actual characters.

Despite those issues this is a great movie and easily one of the best animated movies of the 2010s, it truly deserved its Oscar.… Expand

Rango it's a movie that succeeds at almost everything it sets out to do.

A true love letter to spaghetti westerns (a certain man with no name makes a cameo), it captures the essense of the genre while also doing its own unique thing.

Sergio Leone would be proud.
Also maybe Hunter S. Thompson.… Expand

Its quite a bright and vividRango is a bright, quirky and mostly family friendly comedy film filmed in (or with?) CGI. It has a very wild west feel to it, given the area Rango ends up in, with him being regarded as very much an outsider. Its quite a bright and vivid film, with plenty of different characters to interest older kids, although I'd warn that perhaps some of the characters may seem slightly scary to very young children (animals with long, sharp talons and/or bright red eyes etc.). The CGI is quite impressive - I remember when I first saw Toy Story in the 90s and thinking how good that was and this has been made around 15 years after that came out. Ok I wouldn't claim that I'd have had no idea it wasn't a real life set but then thats mostly (although not entirely) due to the quirky plot but it did look really quite realistic to me. I liked the voices of the characters - the 'rootin', tootin' locals', some Owls who appear to be a Mexican Mariachi band and so on (I realise how stereoytyped it is but I suppose thats to be expected in kids films(?)). I felt that the voices really added an extra sort of a spark to the characters. Cast wise, Johnny Depp voices Rango himself, while Isla Fisher voices a local female character called Beans, Abigail Breslin voices another called Priscilla and other big names include Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton and Ray Winstone. I felt that Rango came across as a character easy for the viewer to like and care about, being a happy-go-lucky curious and brave individual.

Thematically speaking, Rango is about community, fitting in and identity. Content wise, as I say it may be somewhat unsettling for very young children, given there are scenes with angry characters, there are guns shown and some locals which are scared due to their fears for the town but I'd imagine most kids maybe 8 or 9 or older should be fine with it, at a guess. There's obviously no strong language or other explicit content.

There is a comedic element to this film - I'd definitely say the term quirky and perhaps wacky applies. Its a good bit of fun - I found it amusing recognising some of the voice actors and seeing how the plot played out. I don't often watch kids/family films but I did enjoy this. Finally, here is one quick quote of an amusing piece of dialoge (moreso for adults than kids I'd imagine) "thespians? aren't they illegal in 7 states?!" (I presume the character mistook thespians for lesbians(?!). Yes I'd recommend this film, as its quite quirky, funny in parts and has good CGI and voice acting from a good cast. If your looking for a film you can watch with slightly older kids (maybe 8 or 9 or older) then I'd say this is worth a look at - that is if you haven't already seen it numerous times, of course!.… Expand

That was a kind of flowery fragrance of the setting and betting up a brilliant portrayal of a cowboy like a theme. Johnny Depp's voice was so remarkable and the exact representation of Clint Eastwood cuddles all the way. On flowing with smooth, mass and comic elements was a power-packed outcome from Verbinski. As a debut animation director Verbinski gone above the mark. We welcome a lot more kinds of stuff from you, man.… Expand

It deals with who we are as people and who we sometimes try to be in this world. It shows the ups downs of that kind of lifestyle and how it can lead to destructing things. No spoilers so a 10/10. Defiantly a must watch!… Expand

The cinematography is amazing, and the animation is stellar. While most animated movies strive to have symmetrical characters, Rango is greatly benefitted from its characters' imperfections. For example, Waffles' (The lizard's) right horn is broken, and some of his teeth are missing. That single design is not only creative, but it can fit a lot of backstory behind it, and I love that. The plot taking a look at political corruption and tyranny is a great decision, and the voice acting is superb. The writers weren't afraid to make adult jokes and references with their audience. It was a perfect choice. TL;DR: Animation is amazing, jokes are hilarious. Rango isn't a story about redemption. It's a story about discovering self-identity.… Expand

I really liked Rango. The Animation was on another level, very detailed und beautiful to look at. The overall plot was nothing too outrageous but still very entertaining. The humor really made it for me!
