    DJANGO fast paced

    by Merrily2Go

    LeMiz only had front row seats and we jumped to DJANGO instead and were not disappointed. The many plots were fast action and the almost 2-1/2 hour movie went quickly. Acting was really good and the twists took your breath. It was a bit too Quentin Tarentino in that it was gratuitously violent and closing your eyes didn't diminish the images. Wonderful casting and even some lighter moments (but not a comedy) and the character development made you interested in what happened to them.

    *BEST MOVIE OF 2012*

    by UncleBeez

    The movies name is "django unchained" but honestly after seeing this movie it should be called "Django off the chain"!!!!!! This movie is incredible. It's really funny, a bit gory but totally Tarantinos style and all around entertaining. Go see this movie, you will not and can not be disappointed:-)

    So so good!

    by SouthernNYCgal

    Django exceeded my expectations in almost every regard. It's way too long, but you almost don't care because the story and characters draw you in completely. Tarantino put his foot into this. Although this is a fantasy about a slave handing out retribution to those who have wronged him and the love of his life, too many things seemed deadly accurate in regards to Tarantino's depiction of the time period. Anyone complaining about the gratuitous use of the N-word really needs a reality check about slavery. Never before has the word been thrown around so *appropriately*, considering the time period. The acting is top-notch, Leo, Jaime, Christopher, and Samuel really stepped up to the plate, and the dialogue is sharp. I was surprised about how much humor this movie contained. It never trivializes the issue of slavery, it does poke fun at many of the players who participated in it. I do think it could have been edited down by a half an hour, but it

    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.

    Nothing can prepare you.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a Quentin Terrantino flick. But respect the content. It's fictional but it's based on real history. And yeah America, it's shameful, but it's true. And when reality stares you in the eye, you can't look away. The film is gut wrenching, but worth every penny. I'll be honest, it matured me a little. Movies like this always do. This film is far from Roots, but it's very close to home. Very sobering.

    Fairly entertaining, but...

    by CatCow

    I have to wonder what is going through Tarantino's mind lately. Plenty of wild blood spatter and guts flying everywhere, plenty of violence and bad language... Enough to keep any Tarantino fan happy. And some quite humorous parts as well, the rest of the audience was laughing pretty hard. But why is it that he tried so hard to avoid showing female parts when they were nude, but decided to show off Django's junk? Almost reminds me of British television. Other than that annoyance, it was a good movie.

    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

    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 Fiction

    by Media Matters

    "Djano" means a fun movie, gotta see it once.
    "Pulp Fiction," on the other hand, never gets old even though one can view it 100's of times. I noted a number of the audience who talked about the humor in "Django," which is funny and filled with great moments. However In nearly every scene of "Pulp Fiction" there was a take-away moment, a key line one could use later; funnier, too.
    I rate his movies in order (Directed and/or wrote) 1. Pulp 2. True Romance 3. Reservoir Dogs 4. From Dusk to Dawn 5. All the rest tie at No. 5
    Understand, of course, that No. 5 on this list will be floors above most movies, so recognize this is a very high bar by the most creative of people.

    Great western movie!

    by jmm0979

    I love the movie and just what I expected from QT, the movie was overly exaggerated and very graphic. I love the plot but I do wish Django's partner wasn't killed. My husband and I enjoyed it very much.

    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 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.

    Excellent Movie

    by

    This movie was a little long but it was still excellent. If you are familiar with Tarantino's work then you would have expected nothing less. The over the top blood and gore was superb. The fact that he used the "N" word just correlated with the time period that he portrayed. I didn't think there was an overuse of the word. I recommend everyone to go see this movie. I will be going to see it again!!
