"Rango" is a modern, edgy and genuinely weird western full of manic exuberance, as well as loads of (often awkward) pop culture references. The animation is beautiful, the "camerawork" delightfully playful and, although it does settle for the conventional "messages" that every animated film has to convey (hysterically enlisting Clint Eastwood in the process), it remains a fully entertaining and funny cartoon, that never fails to surprise thanks to its wacky dialogue and talented voice cast.

It begins well. Really well. But it feels long and my admiration soured as the jokes turned monotonous and the loving western tributes became broad and lame homages. If only Verbinski would have restricted himself to genre conscious moviemaking and cut down on the obvious references. Yet, I have to recommend it. For the voice work. For the denizens of Dust in all their glorious detail and ugliness. And, particularly, for the beautifully realized animation and "camerawork".

Verbinski's best film to date, a practically flawless western, is an outstanding achievement; Perfect voice cast, gorgeous animation (leaving no doubt that 3D is unnecessary), and a marvellous screenplay which takes itself not seriously at all and just seriously enough make this one hell of a watch. I loved True Grit as much as anyone, but not until Rango was I convinced that the western is truly back. Love it.

Other than about 20 minutes in the middle of the movie, Rango is a consistently funny (computer) animated film. The animation is stunning, leaving me wondering if a couple scenes were actually live-action or not, and the voice cast is top notch. The story isn't anything new for westerns, but it's very fun overall in a more grown up "Fievel Goes West" kind of way. Hearing Timothy Olyphant (who I'm normally not a fan of) voice Clint Eastwood in the desert is worth the price of admission alone.

Rango's soul searching adventure unfolds through a series of events that are beyond his wisdom and maturity as he remains completely oblivious to pretty much everything which crosses his path. It slows down in the middle but more than picks itself up in its final, refreshingly mature act. The animation is gorgeously rendered and Verbinski, who may have honed his artistic sensibilities to the fullest, provides more than enough laughs to make it an enjoyable western. Also, leave your kids at home.

Manages to be a western homage without being formalistic; to be contemporary without feeling soulless; and most importantly it manages to be an American (non-Pixar) animation, that doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator.

Oh okay, so this completely freaking ruled. Almost definitely the best-looking CGI animated movie I've ever seen, with a wonderful style and flawless, perfectly-paced action sequences. Top-notch voice cast all round. Just fun and funny and clever and EXCITING - definitely an animated film for everyone (in fact, I probably enjoyed it more than the kids in the screening).

The animation, first off, is amazing; probably the best I've seen from any CGI feature, besting anything even Pixar has done to date. And it's also got a very entertaining story, paying obvious homage to Chinatown and westerns at the same time. The humor is occasionally oddly vulgar, but it's pretty funny on the whole. All in all, damn fine entertainment.

Not the kids movie I was expecting! "Rango" is very smart, self-aware, & satirical. Although the plot is nothing orginal, (in fact it's archetypal Western) Verbinski is very clever in using the films satirical nature to play on & have fun with the very notions of what makes a good Western. The animation & character design is flat-out fucking incredible & is strengthened by an excellent voice cast. Most of all I enjoyed how "Rango" often shied away from easy laughs for something more subtle.

The animation is the best I've seen, even beats out Pixar, which is saying a lot. Not just the amazing textures and character design, but the shot composition and action direction are fantastic. The movie is surprisingly weird and mature, relative to what I was expecting from the trailer. The first "kids" movie where I think some of the references went over the heads of a lot of the adults in the theater.

It appears that one of the greatest Westerns ever is animated. Well, why not? In fact, "Rango" has pretty much every characteristic a proper Western should have: gunfights, haunting small towns, bizarre residents, bad guys. Moreover, through "Rango" Zimmer proves once again why he's such a great and renowned composer, while the shots are just stunning and the acting fantastic. "You don't tango with Rango".

Probably the best full-length CG-animation to date. Amazing rendering and lighting which make everything to feel like a very expensive live-action movie (bravo, Deakins, once again!) Even though the slapsticky humour is not completely absent, the unorthodox main character and his strange, surreal journey to the obligatory self-discovery can't be further from the generic storylines and caricatures spilling out of every animated movie nowadays. The only let down is Zimmer in the action sequences.

Decent adult humor without being too gross, but dang it Nickelodeon, could we not go one movie without a fart joke? Solidly animated, interesting characters, and it plays like a campy western. I can't say I found much in the way of a moral, though, unless it's fake it til you make it. Worth seeing, but not awesome.

Rango is a surprisingly mature, witty film that managed to blow my expectations away! I can't praise the film's unique animation style enough; seeing the 'ugly-cute' detailed animals, gorgeous desert/Western settings, and stunning 'effect' animations for things like the water were as much a joy as the characters and plot. As for them, the characters are quirky and memorable, and the plot is a love-letter to all things Western, but will still entertain and engage those like me, who have little in

I can't deny that this story has been done before, it's indeed a lot like A Bug's Life (which is a lot like Seven Samurai but hey A Bug's Life was animated). With the general plot being nothing not everything else is very well done. The entire cast is superb and comedic timing is usually spot on with just a few misfires. The animation and character design is very impressive, I've never seen so many disgustingly created characters. Highly recommended.

Rango has an admirably sick streak and an awesome tactile quality. Only caveat is how it softens the amoral/nihilistic edge of the films to which it's obviously paying homage -- that Noah Cross basically receives his long-awaited comeuppance obliterates the dark potency of Chinatown. Verbinski hits all the notes precisely but misses the music. But I guess I'm asking a bit much from a children's movie...

An alarmingly adept, modern, and unsuperficial western-comedy. The action scenes are what they are, but the narrative excels: this is clearly more El Topo than Puss in Boots, and its disturbing blend of grotesque imagery and existential foregrounding is moderately shocking, if you went in looking for Stupid. One of those few films where the narrative itself is the real villain - and that's why the unapologetic homaging makes perfect sense.

you can see at the beginning that the filmmakers were striving for something a bit more imaginative than the usual animation, but by the end they largely failed. along with that is an awful polemic objective. what is the defense against progress this time? oh yeah, nostalgia for the old west. there's a thousand valid criticisms of the process of industrialisation, but this conservative nonsense is tiring.

This movie is the evidence that animated movies are not a genre on its own, but merely a media for movies to be shown in. Rango is an okay animated film, but a GREAT western! Forget all about True Grit bringing back the western, Rango shows how it's surposed to be done. Rango, game, set and match!

I'm not sure who liked it more at the screening I attended, the squealing kids or the bemused/alarmed adults. Rango's repartee is so rapid-fire and verbose that it is probable that most of those parents grasped only a few gulps and a thimble-full more than their stink-brood. One of the best looking animated movies in ages. Please keep making them in 2D.

One of the better animated movies this decade, Rango falls just short of a "genre" classic. The writing is mostly Pixar-esque in that it defines a sociological framework to relate the fantasy to reality and create a world that's insular where the happenings in it are significant. The CG is unbelievably detailed in texture, giving a grittiness to the western setting. Character designs inform character roles. Long action sequences are a chore and the writing can dip into Dreamworks stupidity.

One of the most technically impressive animated films I've ever seen backed by a great cast and story with loads of sly humour and jabs at the western genre. This is what animated films are all about: great for the kids with enough nods for the adults and solid acting with well developed characters. It isn't perfect, there's a few drags and a few corny moments but all in all this is a movie that grabs from the start and doesn't let go. The music is damn awesome too.

The animation was really good, and there was nice voice-work (particularly from Johnny Depp). I also enjoyed the western style and it was occasionally funny. Otherwise, I didn't really connect with it. It certainly lacked the heart that animated films by Pixar possess. I wasn't always sure if it was intended for adults or children either - it walked a thin line. I did really enjoy the references to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), I've gotta say.

Rango is a fun animated feature that's full of life, color, energy, charm, and humor. It's also a loving recreation of a bunch of scenes from a lot of different Western films. But because of how derivative it felt, I was often bored because I had seen all of it before. Still, adults will enjoy the references to the more mature films that inspire Rango, while younger viewers will love the action and, of course, the talking animals. It's generally fun, and it looks great, but it needed originality

An animated movie that does EVERYTHING right. It pays tribute to the western while at the same time acknowledging its place in both real history and film history. It has a strong protagonist, a stronger female lead, and character designs that tell you everything about a character just at first glace (right down to Rattlesnake Jake's Angel Eyes mustache). The action scenes have a perfect rhythm, working within both the logic of cartoons and action flicks. Very much a film for adult film buffs.

You can tell Verbinski is a big fan of Westerns (I still hold that the POTC films can be considered Westerns), and the love shows through in Rango. The animation might just be the most gorgeous CGI I've ever seen, and it's consistently funny and endearingly weird. I look forward to the future of ILM, especially if they continue to provide such a refreshing flavor of animated film.

In some moments the animation reaches some of the highest peaks that i've ever seen and music is always on top.

Recommended also because of the great direction by Verbinski

With a terrific cast and gorgeous animation how could this movie possibly fail? Well the answer is a cliched predictable plot. At times brilliant and other cringe worthy this movie really shows how hard it is to make a kids movie appeal to adults. For instance the introduction (no matter how brilliant it is), still does a horrible job of setting up Rango's life before the accident. Then the finale was just predictable and rushed. That said the guts of the film were for the most part enjoyable.

Excellent animated film is a surprisingly clever (and at times very funny) send-up of both the classic Hollywood western (and more specifically the Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, with one bar sequence particularly echoing OUATITW). Well chosen voice cast are all fine, with Beatty especially standing out as the oily Mayor (with more than a touch of Eli Cross in him). Great fun, especially if you can pick the references.

Superb animation, but the plot, aside from a few good laughs, lacked much of an attraction for children, and the over-the-top attack on Las Vegas along with its hyper-environmental bias, was a huge turnoff. Johnny Depp's career, going into POTC IV, multiple "voice talent" parts and other assorted lackluster roles, is on life support--at least quality wise. Probably doing OK all-the-way-to-the-bank-wise.

This movie was really adorable. I thought that the animation was really great. The music was really catchy and all the characters were so lovable, even the bad guys. Being a theater nerd, I love how theatrical the character of Rango was. They even put on a little play in the movie and it was hilarious. I did think that the movie was quite suspect as far as a kids movie goes i.e. kids pointing guns at themselves or placing a gun in their mouth. Depp has a good voice, so does Isla Fisher.

And while it's sometimes too straightforward or derivative, and it can't live up to some of its sources (which, to be fair, are some of the best movies of all time) it's hard to describe it as anything less than fun. Absolutely wonderful animation and voice work too. It's still clearly built to be a family film, but it's one of the best this side of Pixar.

The second time through some of the psychedelic stuff caught me and I enjoyed it quite a bit more. I'm upgrading it to 79 (from 70).

Good movie, but I cringed everytime one of the characters cursed (this is supposed to be a movie mostly for little kids right), it didnt' add anything to the movie and it kept it from being better. Lazyness on the part of the screenwriters. I guess that's why Pixer rules.

Well, so apparently Gore Verbinski doesn't know how to make a kids' movie, though it is pretty entertaining if you get some of the references that it relies too heavily on. It mostly works. Some of those character designs made my skin crawl, I probably would have run screaming from the room if I was 8 years old.

Fun movie with terrific references to Chinatown, Fear and Loathing, Eastwood and more. It's darker than most kiddie fare and the comedy isn't quite as inspired as I'd hope but it looks crisp and the voice talents are fantastic.

i had been told time and again that this movie lies in a zone that is simply to adult oriented for children, yet i think that those sentiments are mostly unjustified. i found it to be a downright enjoyable movie, that is overwhelmingly intricately detailed in animation. give it a watch, the adults of the audience will be the ones who most appreciate this.

I have no idea why people like this movie so much. It was mostly boring, made liberal use of cheap laughs and had a story that didn't impress. To be fair, it's one of the most beautiful and visually unique animated films I've ever seen (especially one produced for mass consumption) but that isn't enough.

Incredible animation and character design, as well as a witty and action-packed ride. Loses pace in its 3rd act, but forgivable.

As much as I can appreciate an animated film striving to be different, 'Rango' is an odd western fantasy that isn't made for kids. I'm not sure if it's made for adults either. In fact, I think it's made solely for fans of 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' The film succeeds at being bizarre, but is hardly funny or likable or enjoyable.

I'm a complete sucker for westerns and I've been wishing for a great film (Red Dead Redemption filled the void for a while but that doesn't count) for years now. This isn't exactly what I had in mind but goddamn was it fantastic. Pretty much flawless, 'Rango' features a perfect voice cast, great humor, thrilling action sequences and is probably one of the best looking animated movies EVER. If not for some eye rolling sections in the middle, and no Clint Eastwood, this would have been perfect.

Charmless characters a world of inconsistent animal 'heirarchies' that didn't make and a clunky environmental message about water conservation dumbed all the way down to 'golfers are cunts -amiright!'. Didn't disagree with it all.

Although initially appearing to be a bit of a throwaway concept surprisingly this is an excellent animation, as well as managing to be a great little western in its own right.

Epic. I loved it. The most bafflingly, thrillingly original animated movie ever made, maybe? The best Western since "Open Range?" The most exhilaratingly weird thing Depp has done since "Fear and Loathing?" Super, super easy to overrate, because there's simply never been anything else like it, ever. But wow, is it awesome. Is it too early to deem this thing the best movie of 2011?

Rango is a charming and gorgeous production. I often enjoy a John Logan screenplay, though so much of the film relies on Depp's hilarious performance. That and the many classic film references; I got a real kick out of those. Nice to see an animated film not afraid to be a little more adult in places.

Nice, trippy little tale. Good for kids & adults. The plot isn't the most original, very reminiscent of The Three Amigos, but the rest of it is very imaginative. I found it quite charming.
