It was surprisingly...just surprisingly

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2011)

Almost accidentally I ended up in front of the big screen to see this movie. At first I wasn't very happy with this 'accident', thinking that I must have seen enough animated movies by now! I mean, yes they're all very nice with funny characters and nice graphics and all, but come on! How many of these movies can a man take?!
Turns out: at least one more! It was surprisingly...just surprisingly! Normally I find myself having a hard time laughing during these movies, due to the somewhat childish way it is presented. With Rango it was different! This movie just worked for me. Somehow the humor in it was not "too much" (for example like the donkey in Shrek, that's to much for me) and well timed!
Even though the storyline is pretty predictable, the way the storyline is presented is new(ish). Besides I love the whole western thing that's going on in this movie! And of course -and this is predictable as well- the role Johnny Depp plays is one off a kind and makes the movie!
