Same basic Tarantino formula. Very polarizing evil characters that everyone loves to hate and a violent bloodbath at the end. They should have just shaken hands...
Violent, excessive, race-infused homage to spaghetti westerns with a nod to other spoofs such as Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. Entertaining, fun, over-the-top and ultimately low-brow.
Another Quentin Classic!
Very well done. Not sure what all the complaining about the language and the use of certain words. Not done for shock value at all but seemed to fit the times of the setting. Highly recommend seeing it in the theatre to get the full experience and audience reactions.
Amazing...wish it could hsve been longer.
As I was saying... I wish the movie had been longer and included clips of horse riding training, elocution lessons, reading-writing lessons and more shooting training for Django. Then it would have made it more Rocky-like. As it was, he didn't overcome enough obstacles to maximize my empathy for him.
Much smoother transitions and normal looking movie, not the skippy scene-to-scene transitions which gave the Kill Bill's that characteristic "different" story motion. Normal time line, normal pace. I think the "fat" some people talked of was the Italian "spaghetti" stylee he added here and there. Me, I’m glad it had a bit of style and taste. But the horses were too small, too groomed, too well behaved. Petting farm pansies. Esp. Django's cute little mare - as if. No snorting twitchy frothing wet ridden steeds. Horse charge and mass ride were very cool though. Unlike others reviewers, I wish the movie had been longer and included clips of horse riding training, elocution lessons, Rea
Typical Quentin Tarantino - very funny, very violent, very well done by Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx. They were a perfect pairing. There is so much dark comedy and blood and guts that you have to laugh. Brilliant!!!!!
for a QT movie, this is one of his best of all. showcasing absurdities of brutalities of black slavery by south US white folks in extreme gut-wrenching 'what if' cruelty scenarios, told in an action-western w/ a pair of anti-heroes. yes, it's fiction, and meant to serve as a 'let's-hope-it-never-happens', even if it never happened as depicted. it was brutal, gruesome, graphically very violent with lots of blood and splashing fleshy bits (yeeowch), and plenty of tension/irony an comic relief. C-Waltz definitely at his best and carried much of the pace and humour. was a very physical painful story to play out for all characters and esp. J-Foxx. enjoyed it immensely. worth the see.
Tarantino's best work since Reservoir Dogs.
