Rango

Year of release: 2011
Genre: Animation, adventure, comedy, western
Runtime: 107 minutes


The director of Pirates of the Caribbean, Gore Verbinski, has made an animated movie, which entertains the whole family. The leading voice actors are Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher and Timothy Olyphant.


Rango is a pet chameleon that has always lived in a terrarium with a broken Barbie doll and a toy fish. However everything changed when Rango got into a car accident and he started to learn about himself. Life takes him to an old western town called Dirt and with a couple of lies he becomes the sheriff of the town. Dirty town is drying up and Rango begins searching for their missing water.


The movie beat all my expectations with its brilliant plot. Even though the arrangement is typical for western movies, Rango surprises with its hilarity. Anyway it was not only an action movie but also a story about finding oneself. There were many good parts in this movie, for example when Rango was standing on the road and he wondered who he was. It was touching.


The music of Rango is made by Hans Zimmer, who has won an Oscar for the best original score from the movie The Lion King and he has been nominated for an Oscar several times.


The movie is prohibited from kids because it contains violence, smoking, rude humour and profanities. Although you could expect it’s a kids’ movie, it has many subjects from adult movies.


In my opinion the only downside about the movie is that sometimes the characters talked really fast and that’s why it was difficult to follow.
