Seen on December 28th, 2011Rango is an ordinary chameleon who accidentally winds up in the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West in desperate need of a new sheriff. [imdb]
Nominated for 1 Oscar:
Best Animated Feature (WINNER)
It really wasn't a great year for animation, right? I haven't seen most of them yet, but I hear people saying that a lot and I suspect they're right. I'm usually up for a great animation, let's just remember that my favorite 2010 film was the instant classic Toy Story 3... But this year we have Rango. It's gonna win the Oscar, it might actually deserve it, it's not a bad film, but not a memorable one either.
The 2 elements about it that stand out are the technical part which is quite impressive if you pay attention and some funny lines from the screenplay. It's creative, it gets better towards the ending, but it still lacks a likeability factor that would make me actually love it. Maybe because it's about a... chameleon? It could be. Though I probably don't like it so much because of how slow the first part is and it did test my patience.
My rating for the film: 7.5/10. Hey, at least it wasn't a princess fairytale... It does feel more different that many others.

Looking back I think this was probably the funniest film I saw last year. (And it gets some kudos for that).
ReplyDeleteDid it make you chuckle?
Just in a couple of scenes. :) though I only seem to remember the boring parts.
ReplyDeletethe funniest film of 2011 for me has to be Bridesmaids. by far, I guess. :)
