A real west lizard

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2011)

Rango, I really liked this movie. To see a CGI film in the essence of Sergio Leone's western spaghetti style was refreshing. Johnny Depp (Rango) plays a domestic chameleon who is lost during a family trip. Dying of thirst, he befriends armadillo who in turn puts Rango on the path of destiny. Now in a town called dirt, Rango must help the townsfolk of animals to get water back into the town before they all die of dehydration. Yet in the midst of Rango's assured plans, the towns people learn of how Rango is not a gunslinging hero they though he was. Because a snake named Jake (Played by Bill Nighy) told them who he really was. Now all have are becoming victim to the Mayor who is keeping the water under his control. What was a good part was when Rango crossed the highway to meet the spirit of the west who is voiced by Timothy Olyphant. The likeness of Clint Eastwood was amazing, hearing his particular and sage advice given to Rango was fantastic of how a hero does not do the right things for himself, but it is for the people. That is what the hero is. And Johnny Depp was brilliant in giving his performance as the drastic Chameleon who found his calling. Another good scene is when Rango was flying through the air from his family trip and bouncing from car to car including a particular car which was driven by Johnny Depp in another movie called Fear and Lothing in Las Vegas. What a great mixture of delusions adding to the flame of Raoul Duke. The semi autobiography of Hunter Thompson. Recommended film to those who love CGI as much as I do.
