    Quentin Unchained

    by LA-Lawyer

    This film studiously hits the high notes and low notes requisite to a true Tarantino gumbo...and then adds a huge jolt of Chipotle Tabasco. Through the captivatingly charming, polished and poignant performance of (a new favorite for this viewer) Christophe Waltz and a stellar cast, Tarantino marches determinedly to his own inner symphony while still remaining true to the themes and genres he depicts. There is many a beat that resonates, and many others strike dischordant arpeggios. Certain strains of melody veer into the unexpected, but, few miss to evoke subjective conscious experience. The concept of weltschmerz has never been more clearly illustrated or executed in modern cinema. Happily, for this viewer,Tarantino reveals a truly European sensibility imperceptible in previous work. The agony permeating this film is abiding and acute. But, thankfully, as fans of Leone, Eastwood and now, Tarantino, have demonstrated, vergeltung is sweet!!

    DJANGO

    by DinDin

    Action packed from beginning to end. Jamie,Leonardo,Christoph and Samuel L - .Deliver! Kerry Washington is amazing. This movie is Roots on steroids. If you are squeamish, or faint of heart , get over it and go see this movie!

    so awesome

    by natebump77

    when it first started, i was in it and knew it was going to be good. but little did i know it was much more than i thought it would be. yes they say the n word frequently but it was an above- typical Tarantino film. a lot of gore, action and great cast. very well acted film and was very humerous at times. i overall liked the movie from beginning to end at was not in the least, a predicted storyline.

    Awesome!

    by etcd

    What's there not to love about Jamie Foxx? He was magnificent as was Decaprio and Waltz. Jackson was hilarious. This is a must have DVD for us. Loved the blood and guts too..nice touch.

    Django, the D is silent

    by brianmed5

    Django is a definite crowd pleaser for those with a taste for blood, violence and brutality. This vengeance story revolving around an indentured slave turned hired gunman weaves a tale that only the master of action comedy, Quentin Tarantino, can produce in cinematic fashion. Carrying a colt revolver, a western attitude, and furious vengeance Django embarks on a path of carnage and destruction. Armed with an all star ensemble, this classic reproduction of the original 1950's version is a must for die hard fans of the Tarantino franchise.

    No Inglorious Basterds

    by noslig1

    Entertaining.. Yes. Worth seeing. Probably.
    Nowhere near the nail biting of inglorious though.
    More funny parts though.
    Acting very good. Jamie Fox and Christoph Waltz do not disappoint.
    Of course all the wonderful blood and guts flying around.
    Definitely can tell it's a Tarantino film.

    Tarantino Bliss!

    by walysond

    The known brilliance of combining humor with tense moments, along with his '70's style bloody moments. I did notice a few "spoofs" on himself with almost diliberate tie-in's to his other movies. It's difficult to not hear Ordell in Stephen. Still an amazing movie!

    Oh my god

    by jpwhite889

    Ok, the movie is long,grim and bloody, but it's also an amazing piece of storytelling, brutal and nuanced with outstanding performances especially from Samuel Jackson. When Tarantino wraps a story within a story within the ugly historical backdrop of slavery, you get something that transcends genre, even while it plays with it. This movie is not for everyone, but it should be because too often we don't dig back into slavery and see how whites, were not just lords of the manor, but the lords over life and death.

    Unique

    by

    I was so apprehensive about seeing a movie that was rooted in slavery. (Very sensitive subject). But I am a HUGE Tarantino fan so I trusted that he wouldn't take the jacka$$ approach! I ended up loving the plot, the action scenes were perfect, cinematography was impeccable, all of the actors did their job with flawless execution. I loved Kerry Washington in this film and I generally don't care for her as an actress, DiCaprio was PERFECT as always. I just LOVED it. Can't wait for the DVD release so I can buy it.

    Typical Wonderful Tarantino

    by samuraix98

    It seems Tarantino has been up to his usual trickery. Truly I didn't and don't take his movies as seriously as the where once handled. Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs were definitely his two best in my opinion. Then the fame hit after Pulp Fiction, which I do enjoy just doesn't hit all my buttons like RD does.
    Hence I also expected nothing less after Kill Bill he's been doing his "western" thing. Seems to work for him. You've got a samurai western, then a car chasing movie in the open plains, sort of western and now a western oozing with slavery. This is definitely a great movie, fun to watch and hilarious too boot.
    I did have some discrepancies mid film to which I was awed about yet not that amazed. The random rap/hip hop music intervened. Truly I would have been more than happy with the original score to flow unanimously through the entire film instead of the wacky rap but it also didn't surprise me as well Tarantino gets goofy and that sure did it for him.
    All in all Great Movie.

    Django

    by sweetgum1931

    It was a man's movie that took you to the very brink of hate and revenge, but just as you thought you might fall off, it made you laugh.

    The screenplay was well thought out and when you thought nothing more could happen to keep you there, it went on to a most satisfying end.

    I complement all who made it happen.
