Keith Uhlich 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 Aug 4, 2023 Full Review Victoria Luxford BBC.com A gem that doesn't get talked about as much as the big Pixar movies, but well worth checking out. Rated: 4/5 Apr 6, 2023 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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. Rated: 4/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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. Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Martín Rodríguez En Filme Rango's story is an excellent interpretation of a hero's journey in the purest style of a classic Western...

MayB L Rango is one of the best movies I have ever watched. The western setting is lovely and the animation is decent for an decade old movie. The story is beautiful and great overall underlying meaning, while still being decently funny and filled with action. Would recommend to ALL. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Meta western parody that is has a pretty deep theme. If you want to watch an animated western movie, This is it. Underrated movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review henrietta jane p I stumbled across Rango on daytime telly and couldn't get away. Story and sparkling dialogue strong enough to support well depicted N American desert characters, beautiful scenery and exciting action. (Mute +/- pause to see its pictorial quality). A gorgeous animated film strong enough to draw in all ages. Best of all - spoiler alert - the rattlesnake.... (Hoping for a sequel) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review McKay S A hilarious film, it's a great twist on the classic western film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Wyatt E One of the best animated movies ever made. Honestly it so good and holds up so well you swear it came out today.
