Please no sequel!

Rating: 4/10 (14 April 2011)

Rango, a lovable character let down by the story. Rango needs much improvement if they are thinking about a sequel. If you are looking for humour like that of Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda, Flushed Away or even Over the Hedge, then this would not appeal. The story line is basic; Majority of it slow and leaves you waiting for a punch line. Johnny Depp is excellent at his expressive tones of the character and I would hope he continues to do animation voice overs. For me, it just didn't appeal. I wanted more humour and more purpose to the story. I even felt a moral lesson could have been learnt, if the producers had thought of one, I for one didn't pick up on it. The movie doesn't leave you wanting to see more and each scene you feel let down you didn't get the full value of the time spent on the animation due to the weak script. There is also some singing in the movie, sort of a narration - totally unnecessary and made me question whether they had a decent story to tell and if so, then just let it be told naturally. If you have some spare time watch this movie only after a heavy lunch or Sunday dinner, not after a night out, as the thought of sleep is tempting.
