Rango: the chameleon who can’t blend in


Finally taking a break, I went to the cinema for a movie with a friend, who is always full with surprises. Our original plan was to watch –I Am Number Four-, then my full-of-surprise friend, surprisingly, found out that –Rango- is available. And so, being excited over the surprise, we watched –Rango- instead.

I was never fond of lizards or any slippery wet creatures which are covered with scales. To my surprise, i found the lonely lizard Rango adorable. Then as i watched the movie, i found another surprise: RANGO IS A CHAMELEON!

I was even more surprised to realise the movie, which is an animation, is actually an adult movie disguised as a kids’ stuff. For those who expected the classic Disney-FairyTale-kind-of-movie or the usual-motivating-teens-animation, RANGO is far beyond what you would expect. Somehow, it does reminds me of Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Carribeans. You can tell it’s from the same director from the geeky characters and the hilarious comedy-adventure storyline. Well, here’s a little introduction of the movie:

Directed by: Gore Verbinski from “Pirates of the Carribeans”

Voice Actors: Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin

Synopsis: An ordinary home-pet chameleon faces identity crisis. He accidently ended up in a dusty desert town, the Dirt Town. Convinced by his exaggerating stories, the townfolks believed that he is a legendary hero who killed 7 guys with 1 single bullet. He is then named the new sheriff of the town, Rango. Rango soon finds himself embarking on an adventure to seek for the bandits who escaped with the town’s entire supply of water. To save the town which is in deep trouble of water crisis, Rango has to face the manipulation of the town’s mayor and the threat of deadly villain, Rattlesnake Jake. In the end, upon the calling of the Spirit of the West, Rango finally manage to free the town and discover his true identity.

The movie received high ratings from movie critics. And yeah, it also receive a high rating from me too. I enjoyed the movie pretty much as I enjoyed popcorns in cinema. So, if you longed for some laughter and adventure, go for RANGO!
