Critics' reviews

"A kiddie cartoon about good, bad and ugly desert critters (...) Rango is like nothing you've ever seen (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"It's an exuberant, audacious love letter to spaghetti westerns, masquerading as a kiddie cartoon. And it delivers deliciously on both levels"

Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Rango" is some kind of a miracle: An animated comedy for smart moviegoers, wonderfully made, great to look at, wickedly satirical, and (gasp!) filmed in glorious 2-D (...) Rating: ★★★★(out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Its strong suit is visual panache. It's too bad that consistent comedy and emotional resonance get lost amid the dust and cacti (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Let’s face it, a spaghetti Western with reptiles was never going to be as comfortable a watch as, say, a kung-fu movie with a panda. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Kim Newman: Empire
