Biggest Swing

The film drops significantly during its middle act where reviewers found it predictable and slow, before surging back with Rattlesnake Jake's intimidating entrance

Rango starts strong with praised visuals and humor, suffers from significant pacing issues in its middle act that left many reviewers bored, but recovers with strong villain work and action sequences. The film's ambitious blend of western homage and animation impressed critics despite its structural problems.
