    We love Johnny Depp!

    The kids and I just loved this one. Highly entertaining with witty humor. Johnny Depp really pulled the role! If you havent seen you can watch at [BLOCKED WEBSITE] .**

    Not appropriate for Children

    The movie started out way to slow, this is a movie that I kept checking my watch to see if it was almost time to be over, I also fell asleep during the movie. I was awake long enough to hear the snake in the movie tell one of the other characters to "sign the damn papers" and her response was to "Go to Hell". My daughter is 8 years old, this is language she should not hear and in childs movie. There is no reason for this at all. I woudl not reccomend you taking a child under the age of 11 or 12 to see this movie.

    Maybe for adults, NOT for children

    Saw this movie tonight (Mar.4) and was truly disappointed. This is NOT your good ole' Toy Story scenario! This movie IS NOT a quality movie for children and it is unfortunate that many parents will take their children anyway!!!!!Plot and story liine are boring and too long and drawn out and there is too much cursing for children (a number of 'hell's and 'damn's ) along with a rattlesnake character horrifying enough to give kids nightmares for weeks. My spouse and I almost always go to animated movies when they come out, but we both agree that Rango is one of the worst, if not the worst , animated movie we've ever seen. I''ve never written a movie review but I care enough for children to at least try to warn parents about this movie. I read all the good reviews before we went to the movie this evening and thought we'd be seeing a good movie. Goes to show you can't believe all you read.

    I hope this is NOT how the west was won

    Unfunny, not clever, not witty, not dramatic, not heartwarming, just a supremely talented cast of actors with a very bad script. As animated movies are one of my favorites, I was extremely disappointed. Neither silly enough for kids or intelligent enough for adults. Johnny Depp, Alfred Molina among my favorite actors can't save this stinker. The story is extremely stretched, a wanna be actor lizard, finds himself in the real desert in a town with a corrupt mayor who is hoarding all the water, becomes a pretend hero (through his acting) only to find himself promoted to a real sheriff to find out why there is no water. Found out to be a fraud, finds courage, saves town, THE END. Not even 1 smirk throughout. Save your money and buy a gallon of gas.

    NOT a Kids' Movie

    My 5-year-old son has been looking forward to the release of Rango for over a month. The previews make it look like a light-hearted western for kids. Well, it is anything BUT light-hearted and kid-friendly. It is DARK, CRASS, and HARD-TO-FOLLOW. The plot seemed to progress very slowly, then pick up over and over again. The rating should have been PG-13 due to language and violence. I was mortified at the language and phrases present in the film. The one good thing I can say is that the animation was incredible. However, that definitely does not make a movie worth watching. I would not recommend this movie to anyone with children.

    Great movie. For adults

    by KingFu

    This movie funny!!! Do your kids a favor and leave them @ home. The language is unnacceptable for the kids and some scenes are just too much for the little ones. If you don't care about what your kids see or hear, then take them along and enjoy!

    not a kids movie

    We thought we were going to see a cute story about a lizard. Instead we saw extreme violence, scary images, and death. Not a kids movie! very disapointed. The movie should have been more clearly marketed to adults.

    Give me my 2 hours of life back

    by 4easter

    Rango is HORRIBLE!!! From the beginning to the end there is absolutely nothing worth seeing. The characters are bland, hard to look at, have zero quality dialog, bad accents, and the scenery is brown and dismal. SAVE YOURSELVES and see anything on television before wasting a moment considering this pathtic movie.

    Story/Language/Innuendo

    I was pretty excited to go and see a cute family movie and was there with an open mind and about 30 minutes in I was extremely disappointed and it kept getting worse. I was surprised after all the sexual innuendo and the inappropriate language kept on going, I couldn't believe it stayed at a PG rating; it was not as family friendly as it appears to be. One or two comments can easily go over a child's head but that was the bulk of the humor that wasn't at all funny, it was just awkward. And if this doesn't phase you, the story was ridiculous and completely unsatisfactory and ineffectual. I wouldn't recommend for children at all, and as an adult that went to see it with my husband and we typically enjoy animations, neither of us enjoyed it at all.

    NOT for kids! Caution: Swearing and excessive violence, YUCK!

    How is Rango earned a PG rating is beyond me. FIrst of all this movie was hyped up on kids and family TV channels and advertised during our favorite family shows. But, with all of the violence (not funny cartoon violence we are all used to in our PG films), these are gun-fights I'm talking about. There was also countless "hells," as in "you're going to hell" or "I'm going to shoot you to hell," etc. Also, a strange dialogue involving 2 female critters calling each other hussies and the like. And a few "damns" thrown in as well. If you don't take young kids expecting a family movie, you may enjoy Rango. Otherwise, beware.

    Rango is a "no-go"

    I'm not sure who the intended audience for this movie really is. It isn't good for kids due to it's creepy creatures and dark themes. It isn't a wholly adult movie, either. Some of the animation was pretty amazing, but in terms of story, plot, and characters, I would not recommend this movie. I was disappointed.
