“Un camaleonte che si crede un attore, e che trascorre la sua vita dentro un piccolo acquario in compagnia di una bambola rotta e qualche altro giocattolo, finisce fuori dell’auto su cui stava viaggiando, nel desertico confine fra Stati Uniti e Messico. Catapultato nel mondo reale, fra i pericoli scaturiti dagli uomini e quelli della natura, raggiunge Dirt, una cittadina popolata da tartarughe, rospi, lucertole, iguane e serpenti. Anche grazie alla sua capacità affabulatoria, riesce a mettersi in luce e a conquistare la gente del luogo, calandosi nel ruolo di Rango, un leggendario pistolero. Il problema che funesta la città però, al di là dei soliti criminali, è la siccità, che rischia di costringerli tutti ad abbandonare la frontiera.

“Guarda cosa tocca fare per vedere un western. Anzi, un riassunto di tutti i western, perché ‘Rango’ è un lungo omaggio alla Frontiera – con una spiccata predilezione per la declinazione spaghetti del verbo, a dire il vero (non ci vuol molto a indovinare a chi assomiglia lo ‘spirito del West’). Ma parlare solo di citazioni e rimandi (anche al di fuori del genere) sarebbe fare un torto al film, molto bello di suo. La storia è quella di un camaleonte da negozio (ma con aspirazioni artistiche) che viene catapultato dagli eventi in un polveroso villaggio – che in italiano si chiama ‘Polvere’, ma in orignale ‘Dirt’ – dove non c’è più acqua: la ricerca del prezioso liquido, oltre a richiamare una tematica ambientale molto attuale, va di pari passo con l’autoaffermaz” read more

Looks great, but it's hit-and-miss

“"Stay in school, eat your veggies, and burn all the books that ain't Shakespeare."

Rango can best be described as a loving animated spoof-cum-ode to classic Spaghetti Westerns, most notably those directed by the iconic Sergio Leone. And the influences run deeper than that - while director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3) clearly channelled Leone, composer Hans Zimmer was obviously influenced by Ennio Morricone, and the film also parodies aspects of the 1966 western Django. And if that isn't enough pedigree for a mainstream animated movie, the voice cast includes the likes of Johnny Depp, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Stephen Root, Timothy Olyphant and Ray Winstone, not to mention Rango is the animated feature debut of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM).

" Rango is one of the best Popcorn films I've seen this year! One of the smartest and funniest animated films with a broad knowledge of the Western genre. It doesn't shamelessly parody films but does so with heart and affection. Saw in: April 2011."

"8.25 Well, it’s a big plus to have Johnny Depp as the voice of Rango but honestly, even without him, the character will stand out. Its just a great character, period. A lizard unlike any other. Then there’s the unique range of supporting animal characters you’d have some trouble though identifying what the heck they are! All-in-all, even though it has a used, Western-style, old-fashioned plot, it is just so wildly entertaining."
