- 100Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallRango is wild, woolly and weird, and the first movie of 2011 that I must see again.
- 100Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertRango 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.
- Most exceptional is the visual style, which makes even the best animated 3D look like a poor cousin.
- 80Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzIt's refreshing to see an animated movie that doesn't look as though the idea for the Happy Meal came first.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe biggest strike against Rango, though - for both the movie and the hero - is that the lizard is so damn ugly.
- 50Village VoiceNick SchagerVillage VoiceNick SchagerFor all its genre-bending cleverness and technical dexterity, Rango's overstuffed plot fails to consistently blend its brainy pretensions with its chase-and-slapstick family-film obligations. Like Dirt's H2O supply, laughs are scarce.
- 50Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreFitfully amusing or not, the whole demented enterprise of Rango comes into question when you're that tone-deaf about what's appropriate for children.
- 40Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichSeveral quick-witted touches-such as a hilarious nod to Depp's role in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"-can't make up for Gore Verbinski's leaden direction of this digitally animated feature.
