Movie #460 "Rango" is not really for kids ----at least, the kids in my audience didn't get it --- too fast and over their heads. This film has a lot of chase scenes, violence, and an unfocused script, in my opinion. Disclaimer: I don't like westerns that follow that mythic hero thing ---- it usually has a lot of chase scenes, violence and an unfocused script or such a basic one, it comes across boring. Didn't like this script ---- lots of problems with it ---- This is a strange film to critique for me because I appreciated all the tech stuff (including a fabulous musical score by Zimmer), and I liked the voices, but I didn't care about it one iota --- didn't care about any of the characters or their plight. And if I don't care about it, I am easily bored, and so I start to look at my watch and the rest is history. This was a "look at my watch 3 times" and it is only 107 minutes, so needless to say, I don't recommend it. I guess if the trailer looked intriguing to you, you might like it, but I would think the majority don't have to see this. Back to the films I'm critiquing for the Naperville Film Festival. That's why I haven't been doing a lot with this movie blog lately. Pretty soon, I'll be at it more!
