Great animated movie!

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2011)

I went to go see this movie with my family and I definitely enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I mean, don't get me wrong I love Johnny Depp and all, but looked to me like this movie just wouldn't live up to his reputation. I was wrong. The storyline is very well put together, with just enough comedy that's understandable for younger children and just enough action to keep you entertained without having to make the rating PG-13. The character of Rango very much showed traits of Jack Sparrow, probably Depp's most well known character from Pirates of the Caribbean, and was definitely appealing and easy to relate to for the audience (we all want to feel like a hero sometimes!). What blew me away though was the absolutely incredible animation! The characters seem so lifelike and not even the simplest detail is ever forgotten in each scene. Overall, it's a great movie for all ages and I recommend seeing it on your next trip to the theater!
