"Rango" received an 88% praise rate from American film critics, and the mainstream review also exceeded 79%. The film’s CGI technology is amazing, and the ability to capture details can be called the pinnacle. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The biggest highlight of the film is that it makes the story of a small animal trigger human thinking about identity. With considerable depth. (

As the best animated feature film of the Oscar, "Rango" can truly be worthy of Oscar's heroism. A chameleon that dreams of an actor every day, living in his own dream of building, even if it is only a half-meter square water tank, it can enjoy itself. As a marginal figure of modern civilization, it does not possess the ability of a savior, but in the face of crisis, the doubt of "who am I" forces it to become a hero in the west. From a bluffing big talker to a real hero, this transformation process makes Rango's image three-dimensional and full. The weird-looking but likable chameleon Rango has won the aesthetic needs of the public, coupled with the expressiveness of Johnny Depp's voice, all add a lot of points to the film. All the good elements have pushed "Rango" into the ranks of high-quality productions in a similar manner, and it is not a vain name.
Today, when 3D is popular, "Rango" can be said to have created a miracle of 2D movies. The film adopts the way of live shooting in the early stage and animation processing in the later stage, which undoubtedly guarantees the authenticity of the characters. The Rango portrayed by Johnny Depp is the guarantee of the film's success. Its smiles, downcasts, or arrogant gestures reveal Depp's temperament in every gesture. And this, for young Hollywood audiences, is not just watching Chameleon’s Western Rhapsody, but more like watching Johnny Depp’s crazy journey, which is exciting and joyful.
But as an animated cartoon, the western style and heroism of "Rango" is too esoteric for children's audiences, and conscientiously speaking, except for Rango, the other animals in this animation are really ugly and countless at all. Not as cute as a child would like it. The four owls that come out to sing from time to time are also quite abrupt to children of linear logic. It can be said that "Rango" is not a cartoon dedicated to children, but an adult film that pays tribute to western-themed movies. Moreover, there are so many deep and obscure and nostalgic feelings in the movie, even adults may seem to understand it. Doubts. For example, the deep "Nomancanwalkoutonhisownstory." (No one can escape from his own story.) is enough for the audience to think about it for a long time. Fortunately, the cartoon itself has a lot of stalks, and the joy is constant. The excitement of the brain.
There are too many lies, even Rango himself believes it is true. After wearing the mask for a long time, he will think that it is his other face. Fortunately, Rango finally found his life-saving feelings in the lie, and found his responsibility as a hero under the mask. As for those dreamy and poetic depictions, such as Rango’s opening one-man show, the bugs holding up Rango, half of the mannequin, yellow plastic fake fish, and obscure words of the old man who was pressed by a tire, we shall be the director. Imagine talking to yourself! "Rango" represents a feeling of the West. From a certain perspective, the film is to express the director's selfish desires, while rejecting the audience from understanding. ()
