Amidst the other ugly animated characters of this movie, Rango, the self-made hero of the "west" almost looks less crocked and annoying.
The fake hero plot is old, we've seen it in animated movies too, like Chicken Run. The liar with a potential good heart returns to save the city...The rotten leader who sells out his people is not a bright and blossomy idea either, only in this here movie, we have the tortoise, usually an animal of wisdom, representing the corrupted character, in a rather uninspired association made out of negligence or just to avoid a more clicheistic animal.
The rest of the fauna is not so detailed, but they are all an ugly bunch, even the hero's girl is one uninspired piece of animation.
The humour is as dry as the desert, the western genre a bad choice, are they trying to revive it or what? The music certainly is reviving a lot of previously heard vibes.
The violence is present, in the dialogues as well as all the killing, fighting and frightening stories of the West. The rattle snake is so horrible that it suffices to make the kids have nightmares for at least one year. The movie should have a warning that specifies it will introduce such ugly images.
Hated it and even more hated it for the viral early promos which falsely gave the impression of a nice retro-themed movie, with a funny wacky chameleon. Well it is not, we can barely remember that Rango is a colour-changing lizard, it is not funny at all, not even wacky, more like lame mixed with ugly sad life enquiries like "who am I?"
I would answer to that: an animated chameleon in bad bad movie, sheriff.
