Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
paulclaassen Although very well made, I honestly can't say its been a pleasure watching this. In fact, there are not enough adjectives to use to describe how I loathed this film. I watched this in utter disgust and hated EVERY minute. Also, how many times must I hear the word n***** in one film??Wait, what?? Calvin Candie (DiCaprio jumps to conclusions because of an ASSUMPTION made by Stephen (Samuel L Jackson) before obtaining ANY facts and this leads to gunfight galore??? THIS is supposed to be where it gets interesting??? Two hours into the film when most films end??? What the bloody hell! And it took almost 3 hours to tell this story??My ONLY positive comment goes to Christoph Waltz, who was excellent in this film.The film won numerous awards. Yeah, blah-blah, who cares...
rs-91886 You leave the theater with the only possible conclusion you were supposed to get: white people are bad, and they need to pay for that fact. It was a tour de force of violence and the n-word, and although the story was generally good and believable, and the actors were solid, I just felt like I had been beaten over the head with pure negative propaganda by the time it was over. Too bad. I like most of his work, and Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill are among my favorite films.
asapbradley The fact anyone can diss this movie is absurd. The acting top to bottom is so much better than all the cheesy bad movies that are mad today. Sure the blood at the end is wild, but what do you expect when watching a Tarantino movie? All the people I see on here reviewing are ignorant and obviously do not understand entertainment. If I see anyone else talking sweet about Django I'm fighting them.
atlasmb There is no doubt about Quentin Tarantino's ability as a storyteller. The narrative of "Django Unchained" is further evidence of that ability, but his film-making abilities sometimes get in the way of the telling.Though Django (Jamie Foxx) is the film's protagonist, he is an unlikely partner to Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and they share the lead. Each is a unique character, but they come to align themselves in common goals and, eventually, a common quest. The slave Django finds himself outside the law and--thanks to Schultz-- possessing freedoms that challenge his moral compass. But this is a Tarantino film, so the compass never strays far from a monomaniacal drive to achieve the completion of the quest. Tarantino graces the story, which is set in the antebellum South, with inherent humor, mostly achieved through the subtlety of Christoph Waltz's acting. His German bounty hunter executes a matter-of-fact demeanor in extraordinarily stressful situations.The story unfolds gracefully, allowing the viewer to discover background stories and motivations without unnecessary voice-overs or dialogue that is merely explanatory. This is done economically and clearly.However, the story later suffers from uneven pacing. This is distracting and reduces the effectiveness of the film. Likewise, some artistic choices take the viewer out of the narrative, including some quick camera zooms, excessive gore that goes well beyond Sam Peckinpah's style, and the use of a Jim Croce song in one montage.Tarantino has created an intriguing world that is unique, then cluttered it with extraneous attention-grabbing elements. This may be attributed to self-indulgence, but the viewer's indulgence is earned through the director's creativity and his obvious love for his creation.
