Rango

Went to see 'Rango' with my daughter and her 5 year old, so we had a whole range of ages there. We really looked forward to seeing this, were very positive going in, and got the expectant wind knocked right out of us.

This was the longest 1 hour and 47 minutes in recent memory. A few days ago I actually ran for 1 hour and 48 minutes nonstop, and that went by faster and less painfully than this movie did.

None of us found the characters to be endearing, or even interesting. The animation is purposely grotesque, the story makes no sense, the pacing is slow and boring. We kept thinking what a waste for Johnny Depp to be doing *this*. It is an easy paycheck though, I guess, just doing the voiceover for an animated movie.

We didn't find this to be for kids, and not really for adults, so I don't know who it's aimed at. It just wasn't fun and wasn't enjoyable for any of us. We gave it a '2'.

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place. Good popcorn!
