Rango is a smart, giddily creative burst of beautifully animated entertainment, and Johnny Depp gives a colorful vocal performance as a household pet in an unfamiliar world.

My Dad one time put on this film to watch but him along with my sister just up and left during the opening scene leaving me alone, bored and annoyed, however, this quickly led to intrigued and excited. A wicked underdog story.

Excelente película, una de las mejores cintas de animación del ultimo tiempo. Esta película me parece que esta mas enfocada en un publico adulto ya que creo que ellos son los que mas van a disfrutarla al tener chistes o diálogos que los mas chicos no van a entender. El mensaje que deja me parece brillante, te presenta a un camaleón con una crisis de identidad y como a través de un largo viaje va descubriendo quien es y para que nació. La cinta se complementa muy bien entre momentos divertidos con un humor que funciona muy bien a mi parecer, y además se le agregan momentos mas serios enfocados mas que nada en el personaje de Rango y su evolución. El villano de la cinta me parece aceptable, tiene una buena motivación pero lo que no me termina de convencer es que lo hicieron muy obvio de quien era el villano detrás de todo y me hubiera gustado que se le de un poco mas de intriga. Por otro lado, la animación junto a la fotografía son fantásticas, tiene momentos que se ven muy bien y que podrían ser tranquilamente un fondo de pantalla. También hay que destacar la banda sonora compuesta por el magnifico Hans Zimmer, se complementa muy bien con el tono western de la cinta y tiene momentos épicos. Por ultimo, me gustaría destacar también el doblaje latino, ya que me parece excelente y tiene algunos diálogos cambiados que quedan muy bien. En conclusión, una excelente película animada que me parece que esta algo infravalorada (a pesar de haber ganado un Oscar), ya que no veo a mucha gente hablar de ella y creo que es genial, con una trama tremenda que pueden disfrutar mucho tanto adultos como los mas chicos. Muy recomendada.

I don't understand why the good movies get more hate than movies that forced themselves into success.Some say underrated films don't deserve a spot on best children films.This movie was unique and awesome.

Funny and inspiring. Guess lots of us can relate to Rango. We are feeble, awkward, but at the same time aspiring to be great. Well what stops you? You cannot walk out on your own movie. Life is a movie. So play it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Time Out

Several quick-witted touches — such as a hilarious nod to Depp’s role in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — can’t make up for Gore Verbinski’s leaden direction of this digitally animated feature.

Rated: 2/5

A gem that doesn't get talked about as much as the big Pixar movies, but well worth checking out.

Rango is a superbly-written, masterfully-shot feat of making us believe that yes, ugly critters can also possess the kind of heroic qualities that this world needs more of.

Deep Focus Review

Rango is a cineaste’s delight, a rare example of how filmmakers can take inspiration from earlier classics and still put together something that doesn’t feel derivative.

Rated: 4/4

... this southwestern goof is really for big kids with a love of movies, a sense of whimsy, and a soft spot for the hideously gorgeous creatures of the desert.
