Bland and Overdone Formula

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2011)

I just got back from a free screening of Rango. It was very crowded at the cinema and I had to sit at the very front and I only ordered a small popcorn that was finished around the beginning of the movie, but even without all of that i still don't think i would have enjoyed this movie.
The story was very bland and followed the overdone and boring formula of a newcomer in a town lying about his past, becoming an unlikely hero, being revealed for who he really is, get turned on by the townsfolk only to return to save the day. Sure, the animation was a fresh breath in comparison to other recent animated films but that only takes it so far.
After the movie I went to Burger King, I had a tender-grilled chicken burger with a coke and fries, my burger was not unlike the movie very bland, I usually don't eat my fries with ketchup but for some reason during this visit to Burger King I felt like it. As I had already seated myself I didn't feel like getting up again to get the ketchup and just like the movie and the burger my entire meal felt very bland.
If you're looking for a mindless film to watch, go here. If you are looking for something truly hilarious and original, skip Rango.
