Okay movie ;(

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2011)

Where do I start? I love animated movies in general but this movie definitely "stood out." The detailing and characters are great. The storyline, on the other hand, was very poor and didn't thrill me. As a writer, I understand that some events are used to send a message or teach a lesson. The lesson I learned from this was that you should believe in who you are even when you don't know who you are yet... Confusing, right? This movie is about a lizard actor named Rango. After his cage falls out the back window of his owners' car (who in the world opens their back car window while driving?), Rango walks into a desert where he meets a female lizard named Beans *Rango's love interest*. After riding Rango into town, chaos unfolds as he attempts to help get back the town of Dirt's water supply. Signs of the person who knows where water is point to the town's mayor who, kind of, gives away that he knows where all the water is.
Every now and then, there would be a joke or two said but nothing too hilarious to keep up a streak. Being that kid movies (especially animated kid movies) usually appeal to kids, this movie didn't really capture the hearts of the young movie-goers at the screening I went to. A few children actually said they were scared when Rattlesnake Jake started choking Beans with the end of his metal tail.
I didn't really like this movie, to tell you the truth. The only thing I found entertaining about it was the Mariachi band of Owls and how the characters looked and stayed in tune: spitting, revolting, and walking like cowboys. The Owls seemed to appear everywhere Rango went and always brought up how Rango would die.
