My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Rango (2011)

So far this is the best Animated film of 2011.  Johnny Depp voices the title character, a lizard who finds himself in the desert mixed up in a western cast by desert creatures.  With animation in par with Pixar (at least technically) and writing that's exciting and witty and fun, all I can say is bravo.  I'm not a huge fan of Gore Verbinski but if he wants to make animated films from here out, I say go for it.  The only element that keeps this film from being great is it lacks the emotional impact.  That said it's a winner in my book.  Grade: A-
