Review of Rango

Rango (2011)
6/10
Artistically, it's very well made, but the writing was familiar.

I love how realistic the sands, roads and buildings are. This feels like the crew went on location to film real scenes (maybe with live actors filling in for the CGI characters) and digitized in cartoon like characters with slight animation on the scenery to make the audience not know which was real or drawn. Unfortunately, nothing else was of much interest. The story is the same meandering tale of a guy (in this case lizard) who moseys into town and makes a name for himself. He also lies about said name and about his adventures in the past. Of course, the town is in danger and they need his help. Inevitably, he will go from zero to hero, but be a fraud until the big climax. None of the supporting characters stood out and neither did most of the scenes. This needed improvement.
