Meh

Rating: 2/10 (2 September 2013)

The animation is superb and so is the voice acting. Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy and Alfred Molina are on top form. And it's nice to see Tim Olyphant NOT play a bad guy for once.
However, I hated the first 20 minutes. The filmmakers had no idea what to do with it. It's just Rango doing things.
Also, be sure to throw in a cameo from Hunter S. Thompson for all the Depp fans. Don't worry about the kids. They won't know who Thompson is.
Depp plays his typical weirdo role and Stephen Root is back once again playing the southern idiot like he always does.
Some jokes work and others just make you want a tumbleweed to bounce past the screen.
The plot didn't interest me and it has the clichéd "Lair revealed" (Yes, I got that from Doug Walker) and the "Meet the old legend after you've screwed up to give you advice so that you can go back to the town to save the day."
However, some scenes are creative like Rango's dream of cacti turning into snake rattles and how Rattlesnake Jack has a mini gun instead of a rattle.
Rango is just worth watching once.
