Rango update feed
Movies of 2011 (619 movies items)"Home - New The overall narrative doesn't really work, but this is a movie of moments and the moments work spectacularly well. The movie is gorgeous looking, and sounding, with an amazing visual design and a fantastic soundtrack. Bill Nighy is fantastic as the villain's henchman whilst Depp lurches between Kermit and Captain Jack as the character. "
2011 in Cinema: From Best to Worst (95 movies items)" "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.

Awesome animations (69 movies items)"I can't believe I am giving it a 7, I thought it would be like 9 star movie, but man it was boring!

We were discussing it in our class too and none of my class fellows liked it, we were all like watch it for texturing only! "
Top 10 Movies of 2011 (10 movies items)"The animation is downright amazing. I loved how they played homage to the ol' spaghetti westerns. Towards the end of the movie, there is a very special nod to a legend."
Monthly Movie Journal: August 2011 (39 movies items)" Some really stunning animation and well-drawn characters contribute a lot to the enjoyment of this film. The jokes are fast and plentiful, so even while there's a number of duds in the mix, I still found myself amused. Oh, and references galore to cinema of years past. I won't spoil anything, but among the very best moments of the film involves a convertible and a pair of windshield wipers. Priceless. Unfortunately this movie loses a lot of steam as it passes through and far beyond the 60 mi"
Saw in Theaters: 2011! (21 movies items)"A very crazy movie, but very fun! If you like westerns, cartoon animals or both, see this movie. I'm actually kind of glad that this movie wasn't in 3D. That probably would have ruined it."
