Stitch's Movie Madness: Rango
15 years ago
General
Stop what you're doing right now and go see "Rango". Here are ten reasons why:
1) It's the antithesis of all the mediocre CG-animated junk that's been crammed down our collective throats for the last several years.
2) It's smart, vibrant, fun and original.
3) It's the best surrealist western since Alejandro Jodorowsky's "El Topo".
4) It's not really for kids. Nothing an older kid couldn't enjoy, mind you, but it's really a movie for grownups.
5) It doesn't treat you like you're six years old, and instead trusts that you'll "get it" without needing to have everything explained.
6) The voice acting is outstanding.
7) So is the animation.
8) Bats + gatling guns = one of the best extended chase scenes in recent memory.
9) If this movie is a hit, it might just encourage Hollywood to start letting talented people tell interesting stories again.
10) In an era where every movie is a sequel, remake, or adaptation of a breakfast cereal, "Rango" is both a loving homage to the spaghetti westerns of yore and a uniquely weird existentialist action adventure unlike anything you've ever seen before.

I doubt it, remember, the media is geting tired of anthro animals, unfortunatly.
I enjoyed the movie (and will get the dvd), but i enjoyed Tangled and going to enjoy Kung Fu Panda 2 and Rio for some reason more
After the reviews started coming out, I was astounded at how many people said it was a must-watch. :o
It's a movie that seems in the same vein as Fantastic Mr. Fox, in that it's an animated film (yes, that one was stop motion, just work with me here) that's almost aimed specifically at adults and isn't about the opposite of what passes for cute these days (most would just call it ugly these days, in terms of character design). Also looks to be the most original animated film this year (since everything else seems to be sequels or Hop), which is bonus points for it.
it wasnt too mundane and was a little bit on the wierd side
My fav quote out of all the movie: "that ther be a bellybutton" *pokes
