    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.

    Best Picture, Director, Actor and Supporting Actors

    by Gabreli

    This movie was one of the best that I have seen in a long time. Tarantino, Foxx and Jackson all deserve Academy awards. All contribute their immense talents by taking a historic, tragic period of human life (i.e., see Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards) and blending a fictional story into the fabric such 'revenge' against the bad guys is almost plausible. The underlying, or perhaps graphic, reference to the savagery of slavery, the unbelievable pretenses that it was allowed to exist; and deemed acceptable as a way of life and pitted slaves against one another, is truly disgusting. At times, the scenes are hard to watch and accept that humans can treat other this way. Still, the acting, plot and character development is phenomenal. Lastly, to Tarantino's directing genius, he can inject farcical scenes without destroying the movie flow. Given the acceptance of such a brutal institution as slavery, the absurdities are ' truer than life'. This is a classic.

    Django

    by oscar1

    Funny, great acting, a spaghetti western,with a few surprises. A Western which takes in pre Civil War South, where the bad guys get their due. The audience loved it and applauded at the end.

    Classic Tarantino!

    by spongebobkay

    Fantastic Story & awesome camera work. Jamie Foxx is great as Django, DiCaprio is awesome as the villain, & Christoph Waltz flat out Nails it as the bounty hunter partner. Tarantino does it again!! Must see!

    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.

    OMG...LOVED IT!!!

    by Uneeke919

    Django Unchained, was an awesome movie, after Roots, what other movie let's a black man seek revenge by blowing the heads off their slave master. The scene with the KKK when they were talking about the bags, that was the funniest scene ever. I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants. All the actor's did a great job playing their characters, I almost didn't recognize Don Johnson as Big Daddy. Quentin Tarantino did an awesome job on this kick *** movie. You must go see it but with all the violent scenes and killing it is not for small children.

    Just Excellent

    by FanaticFan71

    I have to say that I now understand my reasoning as to why I don't listen to critics. If I had, I would have missed an amazing movie. From beginning to the end. It wasn't at all what I expected and the acting was great. Loved, Loved, Loved this movie. Funny in some parts and others made you think. In the end........great movie.

    Good Movie, but hard to watch!

    by movieblu

    There is some really excellent stuff in this film,(the acting, cinematography, soundtrack, etc.) but it was very difficult for me to watch. There is also a lot of violence and brutality that harkens to a very, very ugly time in American history that so many wish to sweep under the rug. Watching it made me quite uncomfortable during many scenes.

    Django!

    by 215max

    After seeing some of the previews I was thinking I would see something with a , "Gone With the Wind," feel...Oh contraire! Tarantino puts his creative fabulous spin on this story of slaves owners and relationships. The music is great and works tho the period is the 1800's.

    I feel this is a must see..I did put my hands over my face a few times but.....it was fabulous!!!!

    Foxx is amazing as is the rest of this brilliant cast...

    Django "Holy @%$&"

    by mwilling07

    Make no mistake about it this is a Quintan Teratino movie. If you have never seen a QT Movie (i.e. Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Reservoir Dogs...etc) prepare yourself. I do not suggest bringing any children under the age of 18y/o. Why would you though? It's a QT movie. Did I mention, THIS IS A QT MOVIE!!!

    Quintessential Tarrantino

    by carx15

    If you love gratuitous violence and have a good laugh at the same time, you are gonna love this one.
    This flic really got me emotionally involved. Good guys bad guys, original sets and scenes.
    Waltz is great as a laid back mentor to Foxx.
    Some parts were too long pero overall, I could not have done a better job of keeping me in my seat.

    Best Tarantino ever, say two out of three!

    by ohbother

    Awesome performances, great plot twists, lots of action. Characters were a little cartoony and one dimensional, at times, but when they were, they were funny. So far, friends and family from ages 18 to 60 have loved it!

    Explosive

    by

    It?s all Tarantino and his exploitative ways, Nazis, now the Slave Trade. Quentin delivers on the difficult and disturbing of human existence in an entertaining way. Compared to many of his other films, the narrative is A to B, with not much sub-plot. It?s ?seek and destroy? for Django. A cleverly written script and edgy characters brings awe inspiring performances Shultz (Christopher Waltz) deserves an Oscar Node for is calm and charismatic German bounty hunter. Django (Jamie Foxx) is strong and defiant, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) sticky and fierce. Samuel Jackson is evil. As always Tarantino, there?s with a groovy score and originality with Spaghetti Western concepts - quickest man in the South (plus his fair share of tributes). It's probably unnecessarily long at 2 hours 45mins, with a few token scenes but the beauty of Tarantino?s cinematography and BIG scenes keeps you going. Watch out for the totally random Aussies!!

    Best Tarantino Movie Since Pulp Fiction

    by 19biker59

    If "Pulp Fiction" is a favorite, you will love Django. Smart dialog, interesting characters, great story line & great direction. Outstanding performances by the Stars and some less-known actors. Lots of action without the CGI crap and unrealistic super-human athleticism that I have come to hate in many action movies. I hope Quentin continues to make these types of movies. It's what he is best at.
