    Excellent

    by memphis834

    I really enjoyed it. It was action packed in the typical over the top at times styling of Tarantino. The acting was great and there were plenty of humorous moments despite some of the film's serious content. It certainly is graphic at times and topic of slavery combined with the N word being used quite frequently may not be everyone's cup of tea but overall the film is surprisingly quite enjoyable. Leonardo DiCaprio has another wonderful performance under his belt. And that goes for the rest of the cast as well. Jamie Foxx playing the title character is excellent and Christoph Waltz is simply fantastic in his roll as Dr. Shultz. Kerry Washington & Samuel L. Jackson are both great as well. I honestly find no fault in any of the characters and thought they all performed well in their respective rolls.

    Django Unchained

    by dohservices

    Django Unchained is a must see movie! It's interesting, entertaining, and keeps your attention throughout the movie. I enjoyed the variety of music! Great job Mr. Tarantino and all involved in the making of this film.

    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.

    One of Tarentino's best films

    by

    this was a very fun and enjoyable movie. One that could easily be Tarentino's best. From the opening credits all the through it is a great watch. All the actors involved did an excellent job. I really cannot recommend this movie enough

    Tarantino's newest gets 5 stars!

    by seeleykaye

    I have never laughed so hard at truly repulsive subject matter! Tarantino provides an honest depiction of the South during slavery, and the attitude of folks during that time. I enjoyed seeing Jamie Foxx in the lead role because he grows as an actor with every new opportunity.
    It is a gore-fest, though, so be prepared. I was weak-kneed by the end because of all the blood, but it didn't seem to bother the other movie-goers as much.

    Django Unchained

    by cathiecapps

    It was entertaining but way too long.Jamie Foxx and Leo Decaprio acted their parts well, but Tarantion's Pulp Fiction is so much better. The character development in Django wasn't there and the relationship between Django and his wife wasn't believable.

    A master doing his thing

    by Namikis

    Quentin is only getting better at this. Excellent cast (clearly recycling good casting experiences of movies past). Solid acting, and the script has just enough quirky "why the hell did he put that in there" twists to make any Tarentino fan smile. Recommended.

    Impressed!

    by

    So even though the trailer looks good you still think this might be kind of stupid... WRONG. This movie has so much substance! You will love it! It is quite graphic and the language is pretty rough but it does not take away from the film. You are going to love it!

    So good

    by ambarlow1

    Great characters, great plot. Loved the music, too. Had to close my eyes a couple of times for the usual Tarantino graphic scenes. Go see it.

    Fab

    by hgoldman77

    A fabulous movie full of wit, grit, glory and gore, with on-point performances by all. An important statement about the history of the US that's shamefully ignored and buried. Here, as in his earlier film about the holocaust, "Inglorious Basterds," Tarantino rubs our face in the the sadistic cruelty and hypocrisy upon which the nation was born, and not with the high-toned words the Declaration of Independence.

    Excellent!

    by sdavison889

    Tarantino succeeds, again, in creating a great satire about the ills of slavery. Of course, true to his style, it is extremely violent (almost excessively so) and I had to cover my eyes for parts of it because it was just too much to see. That being said, the social commentary and witty dialogue (especially Christopher Waltz and Samuel Jackson's characters) is exceptional. This is what makes Tarantino films so poignant; at the same time that they are hideous, dark, and disturbing, they are also funny and smart.

    Great Actors with a good script and too much blood

    by cantwelljanie

    it actually became unbelievable. I liked the story line, Jamie Fox and company pulled it off well. But after the 4th or 5th multiple blood splatter, I thought is was overdone.

    Django Unchained

    by robinson24

    Overall I thought it was a good movie and worth watching, as it was a thriller with comedy, love and action. Where I part ways is the language used in the movie and I completely understand the dialogue is used to set the stage of the western and pre Civil War era. I beleive this type of dialogue was over emphasized and if scaled back could be appropriate and appealing to a variety of audiences. Educated folks speak better than what was peresented in the movie. Thanks
