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.

Quinton Tarantino unfathomable finesse indubitably hits screens once again as he has teamed up with an ensemble cast to rekindle the western genre. Tarantino has been candid of his admiration for Sergio Leone and this work will make his precursor proud.
Tarantino has woven action, laughs, thrills and adventure into to the story of a slave who is emancipated by a bounty hunter in search of outlaws. Rather than proving to manifest perils and atrocious reflections of a liberated slave the movie delves into an entertaining spectacle.
The movies cult status was affirmed by performances of Di Caprio and Christopher Waltz. Waltz performance as Dr Schultz of German origin never betrayed the German pedigree thoroughly deserved his Oscar. Di Caprio has proven why he is the best in business by portraying Calvin a barbaric, tyrannical and imperious master. The presence of Jamie Foxx draws parallel with Clint Eastwood from the Dollars Trilogy where his guns do the talk.
What distinguishes this movie is it its cinematography backed up with stellar action sequences. The opening scene builds an intriguing conversation be Waltz pulling the trigger. The pub scene highlights Tarantino, s skill to keep audience on the hook by compelling storytelling.The movie is inundated with quintessential western shootouts. It has got everything guns, men, blood and the heroism. The torture scenes rather than being gruesome have had conversations which keeps the movie exciting rather than disturbing. The movie features customary Tarantino,s penchant for great theme music with visually stunning Cinematography.
In Django Unchained Tarantino has unleashed an iconic western character with all its virile and ethos. It is an amazing prospect for a western aficionado to see the revival of a dying Genre by a torchbearer of 21st century film making. It is a must watch for every western lover, a Tarantino zealot and every film lover. This film might not serve appetite of every movie enthusiast but has certainly been a regalement for me. This will go as one of the finest films in the 21st century and has shattered fetters of a Genre which was the heartthrob of the 60, s. This might not be Tarantino, s magnus opus but a sensation of a western Genre.

Filled with serious action and comedy, a lot of surprises, and sarcasm. I really can't say a lot about movie details because they're all so well made. At around minute 50 of the movie I told myself "Oh wow the fun isn't over yet!"However I'd mention that it got a very professional cast and crew that successfully approached a dark historical period in such a dangerous (sarcastic) way -- which also makes reason why some reviewers totally disliked it, leading to underrating this great movie. This is a very entertaining action movie. Recommended to be watched carefully. 9/10 and I'd give it a whole 10 if the end was less hilarious. I liked it!
