Frankly dull

Rating: 4/10 (12 March 2011)

The animation is excellent in this film, but frankly it's pretty dull. You never really bond with Rango from the outset. He's not endearing at all.
The story had potential and maybe if they'd made this more comical it could have met it's potential. Why they felt the need to get a big name star to provide the voice for Rango I do not know. Johnny adds nothing to Rango at all. My wife and I drew comparison to Toy Story and Shrek where Myers and Hanks added to the character. I doubt Depp was really interested.
I was close to leaving half way through the film, but with such good reviews I thought it must surely get better. It doesn't. Wait for the DVD if your kids want to watch it.
