From my review in Taki’s Magazine:The audience laughed hyperactively throughout the trailers for upcoming animated blockbusters. "Do talking-animal movies always have extra-long previews?" my wife asked.Read the whole thing there."You can never have too many fart jokes," I explained.
Then Rango started, with Johnny Depp voicing an actor who is (literally) a chameleon, an ugly, asymmetrical reptile. And everybody, including us, finally shut up.
Yet my mouth didn’t stay closed. First my eyebrows went up. Then my jaw dropped. And that was pretty much my only expression throughout this hallucinatory cartoon Western: few chuckles or even smiles, and certainly no dabbing at the eyes, just aesthetic astonishment. As a showcase of the cross-firing neurons in director Gore Verbinski’s brain, the densely contrived Rango is staggering.
