    So so good!

    by SouthernNYCgal

    Django exceeded my expectations in almost every regard. It's way too long, but you almost don't care because the story and characters draw you in completely. Tarantino put his foot into this. Although this is a fantasy about a slave handing out retribution to those who have wronged him and the love of his life, too many things seemed deadly accurate in regards to Tarantino's depiction of the time period. Anyone complaining about the gratuitous use of the N-word really needs a reality check about slavery. Never before has the word been thrown around so *appropriately*, considering the time period. The acting is top-notch, Leo, Jaime, Christopher, and Samuel really stepped up to the plate, and the dialogue is sharp. I was surprised about how much humor this movie contained. It never trivializes the issue of slavery, it does poke fun at many of the players who participated in it. I do think it could have been edited down by a half an hour, but it

    Pure Entertainment Movie

    by Gjnsgeneva

    I enjoy this movie. I was expecting this movie to be story of slavery. However it was a movie of entertainment rather than a sad movie of black history. In the end the black man won. If you can't get pass the use of bad language or the N-word the movie isn't for you.

    Just a Fun Movie

    by portezbie

    At first I thought I wasn't enjoying Django Unchained because it wasn't really what I had expected, but then I realized I hadn't stopped smiling since the movie began.

    not all fun, but very good

    by nfrutiger

    This movie is about slavery in all it's grisly reality. Tarantino delivers his signature violence and profanity, and a few scenes of the kind of witty writing that he does so well, but the nature of the content keeps him from some of his characteristic goofiness and over-the-top laughable moments. So taken NOT as a fun romp (like Grindhouse) but as a action movie + social commentary, it is VERY GOOD. Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio blew me away with their whole-hearted investment in roles I can't imagine being brave enough to play. I heard Kurt Russell backed out, and I can't blame him. You will have to search far and wide before finding a movie that uses the N word this much. Everyone. Constantly. Without blinking.

    It always frustrates me when parents take children way to young to see violent movies, but if they are taken to this they'll at least have some idea about how truly horrible this part of our history was.

    Christopher Weltz was also wonderful.

    Django Unchained

    by lesliehomes

    It keeps you pinned to your seat from the moment it begins. The story and acting are superb by the outstanding cast. Yes, t is very violent so watch out for this. Glad we picked this one to see rather than wait for it to be released on DVD.

    Django is my new Super Hero!

    by airlakers

    Tarantino has done it again! If you liked or loved unglorious bastards, you'll love Django. In my opinion Django is funnier and a little more suspenseful. I've read some reviews in which people where offended by the movie's depiction of slaves and it's use of the "N" word. I'm a minority and have personally experienced racism in my life as a young youth. I can tell you Django doesn't regress BlackPeople 100 years as stated in some reviews. The movies setting is set in1865 and racism and slavery was a daily part of life and now part of our nations history.
    It's a MOVIE AND A REALLY ENTERTAINING MOVIE AT THAT. DJANGO IS MY NEW SUPERHERO.

    SOOOO GOOOD!!

    by juliachan33

    So entertaining yet gives you a sense of how ridiculous slavery was. Acting was great and storyline even better! Don't even think twice ...Just go and see it. Just be prepared for some bloody scenes - expected for a Tarantino movie.

    Mel Brooks has to envy this movie

    by mkkonderla

    This is a modern day Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks has to be jealous that he could not push the envelope as Tarrantino did with Django Unchained. This movie will last the ages. If you go to a Quentin Tarrantino movie and are shocked at the racial slurs and languange well then that's like expecting to go to a Jewish Deli and order a pulled Pork sandwich. It's Good vs. Evil and the movie does expose some of the brutality that did exist in the late 1850's in regards to slavery. It was a reality that this country had to overcome. A must see movie. The acting is great but the writing is over the top.

    cinematic creativity in a historic backdrop

    by bmarshall_1980

    Django is not a documentary. Yet the background of the movie
    is steeped in the world of slavery. This movie is a forbidden love
    story that is strung across the horrific brutality that erupted
    from slavery and that of the pre-civil war era. In between
    the story lines there is humor. The humor on the
    surface brings laughter yet if you pause for a moment
    the humor is a product of twisted perspectives.
    I hope you enjoy this movie. I sure did!

    Classic Quentin

    by theonepf

    Better than expected. Great cameos by Bruce Dern and Don Johnson. The movie keeps you interested and it did not feel like a 2hr 45min movie once it was done.

    One of Tarantino's masterpieces

    by stevecrossrock

    This film is one of Quentin Tarantino's masterpieces. It has all the trademarks of his greatest films. In many ways this film echoes Inglorious Basterds, but I find it even more satisfying for some reason. Tarantino takes the satisfying revenge of an oppressed class of people and weaves into the framework of a classic spaghetti western. The result is as satiating as a big juicy hamburger loaded with all your favorite toppings. Yum.

    Fairly entertaining, but...

    by CatCow

    I have to wonder what is going through Tarantino's mind lately. Plenty of wild blood spatter and guts flying everywhere, plenty of violence and bad language... Enough to keep any Tarantino fan happy. And some quite humorous parts as well, the rest of the audience was laughing pretty hard. But why is it that he tried so hard to avoid showing female parts when they were nude, but decided to show off Django's junk? Almost reminds me of British television. Other than that annoyance, it was a good movie.
