a movie which is a complete act

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2012)

Rango comes as a complete package. While the movie is animation, the characters touch the mature audience with as much ease as a kid's imagination. The protagonist and his quest to realize who he is takes everyone on a riveting journey. Though, the question seems old, the treatment by Gore Verbinski ensures that there isn't a dull moment. The backdrop of the Wild West makes you almost nostalgic of the classic action movies. Rango mixes the character with shades of humor, wit and effortless storytelling. The animation is good but it has yet to come at par with the expressions and finesse of the already established studios. The supporting characters were not that clearly defined but created an interesting ensemble anyway. The background score of the movie, mostly a compilation of Wild West themes, is simply perfect. Many-a-time you'd find yourself anticipating the exact music sequence, if you're a fan of course. The sequences are action packed and entwined with main plot are many secondary layers of a more philosophical and deep sense of understanding. It's the kind of movie that can be watched over and again. A must watch movie for 2011.
