Watch Rango For Free

Too much of everything

Excellent but underrated film

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

If the Coen Bros made an animated-existential-comedy-western-family film (which, let's be honest, is the only kind of family film they would make), it would certainly be very similar to this. Not to simply write off Verbinski; his eye for style and comedic timing are dry and wonderful. The design is easily some of the coolest and most unique in the CGI-animation era. And before Depp gave up acting for scarf collecting, he delivered even his vocal performances with great care.

I only did not give 10/10 because I wanted the movie to last longer. It is truly entertaining, the characters are deep and alive. Johnny Depp in one of his best performances :). I've watched this movie many times, and each time I find a new awesome thing. Totally a must watch for any age, any time, fun guaranteed.

Rango is a chameleon. Literally. He is wandering through the desert, having escaped the clutches of a hawk, when he stumbles into the town of Dirt. After massively exaggerating his skills as a gunfighter, challenging the town hoodlum to a duel and (accidentally) killing the town's greatest menace, a large hawk, he is made Sheriff of the town. It is then that he discovers that the town has a massive water shortage. After chasing down some outsiders who robbed the bank, it appears the reason for the shortage may be due to intentional interference, and may be close to home.Good fun. Started pretty badly - plot was over the place and it appeared you needed to be high to enjoy it. However, from a point, around about the saloon scene, the movie finds focus and kicks up several notches. Ends having a decent plot (though a tad derivative of Chinatown), some good humour, great CGI and good action sequences.Vocal casting is spot-on, with Johnny Depp to the fore as Rango. All-star supporting cast delivers in spades.

Rango is a pet chameleon who finds himself lost in the searing heat of the Mojave Desert. Seeking water he heads to the town if Dirt, meeting an iguana named Beans on the way. Once there he is confronted by the locals and makes up some rather tall tales that lead them to believe he is a stone cold killer of a gunslinger. A lucky shot when he is confronts the hawk that was terrorising the town persuades them that what he said must be true. The mayor makes Rango the new sheriff and soon he is hunting down bank robbers who have stolen the town's limited water reserve. His posse catch the suspects but they claim to be innocent; Rango starts to suspect somebody else is behind the disappearance of the water.This animated western was a lot of fun with plenty of laughs to be had as well as a fun story. Most of the jokes can be enjoyed by all viewers but some are clearly aimed at older viewers… some may think these aren't suitable for younger viewers but I suspect most of these jokes would go over the heads of youngsters. There is plenty of action, including some which may be a little scary for very young viewers… namely any scene featuring 'Rattlesnake Jake'. The CGI animation is impressive and the voice cast do a fine job bringing their characters to life; most notably Johnny Depp and Isla Blair as Rango and Beans respectively. Overall I'd recommend this to all but the youngest of children, and especially anybody who enjoys westerns.
