Kind of challenging for younger viewers to contemplate, but it's a fun ride throughout with ongoing works of terrific animation.

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2014)

No one can deny Johnny Depp playing the voice of a little chameleon named Rango! This little reptile is just too lovable. Depp has the perfect voice for playing Rango, an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff. Looks like it's gonna turn cold blooded in Dirt! Rango is a riot to watch stumble upon new challenges. Gore Verbinski as a director knows how to please sophisticated audiences who still enjoy a terrific tale of creative animation. This film is honestly not suitable for kids under the age of nine or ten. There's lots of WTF moments that feel like something out of an old western that is way over younger viewers heads. That's the beauty of this film. It allows adults to stumble out of the cutesy animated crap that flood multiplexes nationwide, and experience a warm story that despite a reptile as a lead, is warm blooded. There's tons of fun action and funny moments that never lead to anything stupid or slow. "Rango" stays kind of still for some sequences, never really cutting to the chase and wrapping up the story, but you'll be thoroughly entertained by a new animated gem. Buckle up and throw this lizard a bone! He'll make you laugh your tail off, and stay tuned for a sequel in a couple of years.
