    Wickedly Funny and Violent but Long

    by sujaybobba

    Movie was wickedly funny....some scenes were very violent but that's what we should expect from a QT movie. I personally felt that movie was a little stretched in the end specially in the last 15 minutes.

    Overall a good movie to enjoy.

    My Rating: ***

    The Reason Why People Would See This Is Because...

    by

    I normally don't write reviews; let me as transparent as I can be...

    First, THIS IS A WESTERN, period! The standard elements of love & revenge are present, yet it's done in a way only Taratino knows well: sensationally! The hyper-violence is part of the interpretation of slavery in the US, and if you feel emotionally attached, GET OVER YOURSELF! It's funny how people can argue over semantics and issues, but have no real solutions to them- SMH. Moving on...

    Tarantino once again has pushed the envelop on the impact of history with DU. Just like Inglorious Bastards, the level of action complimented the necessity of the hyper-violence. It is what it is.

    The casting was also excellent. Di Caprio was perhaps the best in his role; overall, it was a steallar movie for many different reasons, but if you are expecting the stereotypical perspective of slavery, you'll be mistaken. DU offers another account which, @ the end of the day, is still ENTERTAINMENT!

    Gratuitous Violence and "The D is silent"

    by

    Walking into the movie, one should remember that it's a Tarantino movie produced by the Weinstein Brothers. One should expect wit and gratuitous violence. You get that and so much more. There was only one moment when I had to look away. Tarantino violence doesn't ever really make me look away like it does in other movies, probably because it is so over the top, but at one point, it did. Jamie Foxx gives an amazing performance. The cameos don't fail and are, as usual, a nice laugh moment for sequences. The rhythm is unmistakable. It is choppy at times, which, for whatever reason, always works for Tarantino. Overall, I highly recommend the movie to people who can stomach the gratuitous violence. I look forward to its dvd release so I can rewatch it with more leisure to really absorb it.

    Bloody, gory but good

    by jpc019

    It was far gorier than Inglorious Bastards, and didn't have as many funny/humorous moments, but it was good, riveting and searing in its portrayal of the pain and anguish of slavery... I do recommend seeing, but be prepared for lots and lots of blood.

    Not bad but Django Unchained is far from Tarantino's best

    by

    The narrative was linear and traditional, unlike most of Tarantino's other films. It was pretty good and had some excellent scenes of dialogue and action/violence, but does not come close to Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, or Inglourious Basterds. The liberal use of the n-word throughout the movie by nearly all the characters was a little unsettling, but I suppose it was written to include that ugly term to fit the pre-Civil War pro-slave south where the film takes place.

    Great

    by stiggy56

    I know some say they are not fans of Quentin Tarantino's work. But I think this throw back style is refreshing. While the slavery subject is sensitive it also made for a great action film and some great acting from some surprising cast members.

    Django Unchained Review

    by

    The word that best describes this movie is The complete opposite of Twilight. I need to apologize to Leo, I won't refer to you any longer as Leo DiCRAPio. And If you don't know Christoph Waltz you will after this movie and after he wins the Oscar, Emmy, Tony??? or whatever it is for best supporting actor. SOURCE(R. Ridgeway). Easily could win for best actor. Tarantino may have just kicked Kristen Stewart off to make my list after this movie. The way he constantly adds layer after layer to his characters by bringing you in to their world without you even knowing it cause your so destracted by the story telling is off the chain. Should be called Django of the chain. If you don't mine just a tiny tiny bit of violence and aren't known to pass out at the site of just a little blood you should maybe think bout seeing it. Gets a 9.5. I don't go around handing out 9.5's but this is a great story that is told well with great acting. But don't get your hopes up, or you'll be let down, GO!!!

    Classic Tarantino!!!!!

    by

    This was a great action movie. It wasn't a doom and gloom slave movie. It was about a man wanting to save his wife. It was an action movie in classic Tarantino style. Good job!! If you like action go see this!!

    The D is silent

    by depp_movies4me

    Everything you expect about a Quentin Tarantino movie and more. Acting: superb. Violence: over the top perfection. The cinematography, one of my favorite aspects of films, was beautiful. Scenes of the "north" in winter, of mountains, were stunning vistas. It was refreshing to see Leo DiCaprio as a villain and Jamie Foxx carries the film on his capable shoulders. Christoph Waltz was quite memorable as Dr. Schultz and I think this is my new favorite role of his. Surprise appearances by Don Johnson, Quentin Tarantino, and Jonah Hill, who supposedly had a bigger role but didn't have time to film it. The use of original and popular music enhanced this film by helping set the mood or tone. The use of the "n" word is in historical context and those who say it to put down blacks eventually get shot, so that's good. Personally, I hate that word. In summary, this is a very good film, well made, told, and acted and I highly recommend it if you can stomach the violence.

    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

    by smlaz

    Typical QT movie, pushing the edge and great cinematography. Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz were great together. Samuel L. and Leonardo were also very good. Enjoyable but not the best picture of the year, Argo tops off the 4 on the list that I have seen so far.

    a wild ride

    by

    Rarely due a opening night, but Django.."the D is silent" was the exception. The movie is a wild ride from the opening scene to the ending with Sameul L Jackson..doing what he do best..curse up a storm. The lead actors carried the movie and the gun scenes were some of the best i have seen any "Western"..or Southern as Taratino says it.

    Go see this movie if you like extreme x2 violence, can stomach so serious realistic slavery scenes and not overly sensitive to hearing the N word said about 100 times.

    Taratino is certified... and i hope this box office gets him some help.
