    Best Picture of the year!!!!!

    by MrsDLMITCHELL

    The picture was done so well, included so much true history on slavery in this country, and the attitudes of slave owners and their slaves in which they owned and killed. There was so much to laugh about now which was not funny when it was happening, It was a true picture of the thoughts and actions of slaves, especially the part played by Sam Jackson. Some people expressed their dislike after the movie, but they are not aware of the history of slavery which was truly depicted, and have no reason to be ashamed of what was, but should strive to educate themselves and to share true knowledge of slavery with others. They should be ensure it does not happen again, and be sure that they don't enslave another.

    All acting was great and Jamie Fox and Same Jackson were superb!!! Because of the language, ages 13 and above only should see it. If you don't mind exposing your child to a large amount of vulgar language from Sam Jackson, than ages 9 and over can learn a history lesson.

    Quentin you've done it again!

    by azinno

    Django was FANTASTIC. Action packed, hilarious, and grueling all at the same time while touching on a past that many have probably tried to forget. All of the actors and actresses did a fabulous job in their roles. I highly recommend this movie! It's not for children though.

    Spectacular Acting, Accurate Accounts and Mind Boggling Mayhem

    by

    Finally! Our first black superhero of the old south. This gives me much hope that the movie industry is shifting and its about time. We need more heros and heroines in prolific roles such as this. I was proud. Thank you QUENTIN!

    Great, but a tad long

    by ProMusical

    Sometimes the movie is unclear whether it is a smiling homage to westerns or a send-up of the genre, it constantly skirts a fine line. But a good tale, entertainingly told with very strong performances, and not enough people mention Samuel L. Jackson creating a memorable and very unique character. As good as it was, though, the film felt long.
    Please go, but promise yourself to laugh at all the bloody effects (except the dogs). Skip it if dark humor evades you.

    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!!!

    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.

    Django

    by talltales509

    Quentin Tarantino has yet again brought us a well written, believable dialogue, and an all star cast in Django. As an old African American the use of the "N" word was just the way it was depicted in days where few people of color were truly free. The plot is very plausible and well worth a giant popcorn and a small drink to share with your sweetie while you sit of the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen next!

    Go ses it and wonder no more!

    Best Tarantino Film since Pulp Fiction. *SPOILERS*

    by GregCo

    Nasty, violent, foul mouth cinema never looked any cooler. One of the best "PAYBACK" flicks I've seen in a long time. The acting was superb, violent as hell (Reminds me of the gore from Planet Terror). Some parts are hard to watch, for example *START SPOILER* The scene where one of the slaves was ripped apart by vicious dogs was pretty hard to watch along with other extreme mistreatment of slaves at the time. But it leads up to a VERY gratifying ending *END SPOILERS* But if you can get through that, it is one of the best movies of the year.

    So leave the kids at home and go see it!

    excellent- remember its just a movie!!!

    by jshannon324

    Great movie and entertainment. As with all of Quentin's films I close my eyes for a few overly graphic comic book style parts but for me that does not ruin it! The story is so original and absurd that the almost three hours is pure entertainment and think provoking! The characters are unique and they all play a part in this fantastic story. Remember- its a movie and it has its own style- but its not a historical document or interpretation. all the characters when thought of realistically are absolutely ridiculous
    Thanks to a great cast of artists both in front of and behind the camera

    Another fun Tarantino outing - but could benefit from some editing

    by SandP

    If you are a Tarantino fan, you will of course LOVE this movie. He touches all the bases - great dialog, great acting from all of the leads (SLJ steals the show!) great visuals, lots of shout-outs to classic movies and actors and of course the highly stylized violence which makes his movies fun (hopefully anyone with half a brain is not going to think this is "realistic" and molding impressionable young minds).
    As much as I enjoyed the movie, it would have been much better if about 15-20 minutes had been edited out. There were several times where the movie jsut dragged and I found myself checking the time - something that I have never done during a Tarantino movie before. I understand that the uncut version of the movie is quite a bit longer - something for a DVD, where one can either take a break or FF.
    Still, a must-see for me

    Quentin Does it again

    by RLEP

    Well, if you are expecting violence, or twists in the plot, and of course seasoned actors doing what they do well. THIS IS YOUR FILM!!! Quentin has given us unusual perspectives of life and times before, and he's done it again. Django Unchained is truly outrageous and and off and off the CHAIN.!!!! I would recommend this movie to anyone over 16. Not because of violence (it Quentin, let's be real) but language.

    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.

    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.

    Django Off The Chain

    by AYHJA

    This is one of those films that has everything you could want. It is technically sound, has a great cast. It is well paced for a long film. The acting is fantastic, the characters are well done. You'll have every emotion on the human scale hit while watching this film. You'll be angry, you'll laugh, you'll want to cry, you'll cheer. Just a fantastic film. Ignore any criticisms of this movie, you deserve to see for yourself.
