Rango is wild, woolly and weird, and the first movie of 2011 that I must see again.

Rango 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.

Verbinski's greatest triumph is that he allowed the animation to free rather that confine him. There is indeed a new sheriff in town, with Rango destined to become a classic.

Rango, which may take place entirely within its hero's head - that kind of ambiguity worked in "Inception" and "Black Swan," so why not here? - is about the appetite for myths and stories, whether or not they make sense. It is about the worlds we dream inside our fishbowls, helped by the weird reflections on the walls.

No goggles, no gloom. And no competition for the coolest, orneriest, funniest, best-looking movie of early 2011.

The best of Rango is a lot like the best of the first "Pirates" movie – crazily funny and rambunctious.

Johnny Depp isn't the sort of star to blend in, so it's saying something that his turn as the world's most conspicuous chameleon in Rango is so full-bodied, you forget the actor and focus on the character.

Most exceptional is the visual style, which makes even the best animated 3D look like a poor cousin.
