Rango...

So I like to catch movies when I can and I LOVE to read. So I think I'm going to write little reviews about the movies I see and the books I read. I don't know about you, but I like talking to someone I know about these kinds of things rather than reading reviews from people I've never met.
So today is the movie Rango........
Well.... hmm... I was disappointed. The movie is rated PG, and it's geared towards kids. So someone please explain to me why the word 'hell' was said FOUR times and 'damn' once?  !!!!!!! Hellooooo. Really? You think our children need to watch a movie like that? I had my 5 year old with me!
The movie played out like an old western. And what are old westerns full of? Death! Throughout the entire movie they kept talking about death and saying things like "your gonna die", "he's gonna die". And they had these Mariachi Band like birds acting as narrators and they also sang of death every time they came on the screen. And to top it off, there's this scary snake character that scared my kid. And he's not a nice character at all. I even thought he was scary. And NO WHERE in a kids movie should there be constant drinking and smoking. I'm sorry, but NO!
Now I've got a few positive things to say about it. As always, Johnny Depp is very talented. And all the actors who did voice overs did a great job. And the graphics were great. I mean when they showed a characters face you saw every wrinkle and whisker.
But I really wouldn't take your kids to see this. Maybe teens and above. There are sexual innuendos, adult jokes, and only an adult is going to know who the surprise character is at the end. My husband thought it was funny, I really didn't. The whole time I kept thinking "my daughter should not be watching this". I wish we had gone to see "Gnomio and Juliet". I heard that movie was kinda dumb for adults, but great for kids. And when it comes to a "kids movie" that's what I expect. I'm thinking we might have to go see that just to get Rango from our minds.
