Rango is basically a giant homage to all the great westerns, from spaghetti western of Sergio Leone for the comedic parodies of Bob Hope. A wealth of references to a plethora of classics make an appearance in the entire movie, and even if they do not recognize these author clever allusions to find entertainment in the action, the sly comedy, and brilliantly twisted character design. Rango can be typical fish-out-of-water main person trying to discover its own identity, but when transplanted to an old West town inhabited by stingy turtles, gun-toting rattlesnakes and hillbilly varmints, all the while plagued by intermittent surreal visions, deep metaphors and pessimistic narration from an avian mariachi band, his story seems anything but normal.
The desert city of dirt is in a crisis of epic proportions. A terrible drought have swept over the country, the Bank's water supply is almost dry and outlaws pine city's citizens. Fortunately for dirt, has heroic lizard Rango (Johnny Depp) just arrived to create a new order of Justice and peace as the latest city Sheriff. Unfortunately, the crafty Chameleon for both dirt and Rango, actually just aspiring actor desperate for playing the role of a fearless gunslinger. When his theatrical antics find him appointed an official lovhåndhæver, Rango must collect all his courage and is a seasoned Save Miss Beans (Isla Fisher) ranch, restore the city's precious water supplies and road freight transport system even outlaw Rattle snake Jake (Bill Nighy).
Character design in Rango range from the comically bizarre that really inspired and ends up stealing the show from every creature individually eccentric personalities. From bug-eyed toads and mangy dogs for wheelchair-bound turtles and possums brought the various skeptical animals to life with such vivid visualizations, you may find yourself laughing before they even speak. Many of the animals is hideously deformed and deranged, or their characteristic features so exaggerated that you will not be able to tell what creature they represent. A bird with an arrow in his eye, a rabbit, is missing an ear and an excessively hairy mouse to select just a sampling of the curious and fascinating creatures who share the screen. The few people who makes an appearance are clean caricatures of their actor counterparts, and nearly every design screams of innovation and inventiveness. In addition to the brilliant character design achieve texturing and animation to a new level of authenticity thanks to work by Industrial Light and Magic, a company known for their expertise in creating special effects.
With its clever references to classic Western movies and spatte ring of dark humor, Rango will almost certainly appeal as much to adults as to children. In fact, apart from the slapstick action sequences and goofy seems unfortunate bug of title lizard, most of the jokes, surreal dream sequences and intelligent marvelous dialogue geared to a more mature audience with a solid appreciation for genre film spoofs so thoroughly.
