good lord...I've got to see Django already. Everybody keeps telling me how knock-your-socks-off amazing it was.

I was going to wait for the DVD since its a long movie, but people talking about how great it was made me go see it.

I got to go with Reservoir Dogs, but its really close with Pulp Fiction. I am really looking forward to seeing Django as well!

Django was very good.
A tad bit long, but very good.
Christopher Waltz brings another solid performance to stack on top of his Inglorious performance.

Django.

You were just holding my...

I thought it sucked.... The acting was comically bad... Leonardo actually had the best performance... Quintin was copying a black exploitation films of the 1970's and it really felt like one.. right up to the bad production quality and bad acting... Even Quentin's famous dialog seemed pridictable, contrived and just bad, At time's it was like he was repreating lines from his other film... Waltz asking to try some of Leonardo's "delicious beverages".... Christoph Waltz who was so great in Inglorious bastards seems over exposed in this movie where he's asked to carry large parts of the film... He's just not up to it. He was boring and his character made no sense... Is he a hard core murdering bounty hunter, the scurge of anyone or anything he's pursuing; or is he a bleeding heart wearing his heart on his sleave. Made no sense.


It was a horrible film.

Was listening to radio other day and they were talking about Django Unchained and how Spike Lee feigned so much outrage over "his ancestors" being disrespected

Anyway during this discussion it was mentioned that Quentin Tarentino probably hasn't made a bad movie ever

All of his movies are great

everyone is entitled to their opinion but you are in the small minority on just about every point you addressed except Leo giving a great performance

The violence in Quintin's films is always over the top... I typically enjoy his films because they are just well done... from the dialog, to the plot, to familiar actors being put in unfamiliar roles... or less familiar actors being given great roles and really delivering.. bottom line QT movies are interesting..

Django was non of these things. The Christopher Watz character is a boilerplate performance almost identical in every respect to his character in inglorious bastard... I swear he even used many of the same lines with same vocal intonations... It was as if someone took an exacto knife cut him out of inglorious bastards and stuck him in Django.... Most of the first half of the movie was Waltz doing all the talking and everybody else muttering or giving looks at each other, and amazingly that's when this picture was at it's best. As they reached the dei numa of the story. the second half is when it jumped the shark.

Don't get me wrong I love senseless meaningless incredible brutal violence as much as the next guy... but even I was appalled at the level of it in this film... Not just because it was offensive to watch... but more because it was lazy... I mean after you've seen blood splatter from some dudes head as a bullet pierces his brain once twice or three times, I think we get the message..... spending 10 minutes and seeing it for the 20-30-40th time is really covering for the fact you have nothing interesting to say... I mean at that point you are just trying to fill up time right, right?

Oh and the stereo types and political correctness in a black exploitation film was just killing me... Of coarse the guy who couldn't talk, legally couldn't ride a horse and I'm guessing didn't have a lot of experience with fire arms... Is an expert in all of these things almost the moment he is released from the chain gang... and of coarse he's a genus intellect too, using sophisticated and of coarse brutal physiological ploys while conversing in literary terms.... Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Out smarting all the dumb slave holders would be painful enough to watch... mostly because it's been done 1000 times... but this movie didn't stop there.. they kept on going thinking if they went even further it would be fresh.. It wasn't fresh.. It was really stupid.

It was a dumb movie, which didn't have much to say which couldn't be measured with a blood splatter board... and not in a good way either. The acting and dialog was canned / retreads. The only watchable thing in this movie was Leonardo maybe Waltz in the first half too; but even given that you might as well be stairing at a blank movie screen for 25% of the movie and 90% of the movie's actors were so bland as to not even register in one's perceptions...

Easily Quintin's worst film.. Worse than kill Bill which was pretty average... ( mostly because he decided to make one movie into three ).... But this movie was worse.. It was BAAAAAAADDDD... This movie was bad enough to have been written and directed by Mario Van Pebbles... That's how bad it was.

The movie had more in common with a Friday the 13th movie from the 1980's than to any of his previous works. It more like a splat movie than his other movies.

Quintin Tarantino left out of the Oscar race for best Director..!!

[abdcskins]

I never knew there was an answer other than Pulp Fiction.

[Prototype]

I was a big fan Django, and Kill Bill, and reservoir dogs, but I feel Tarantino is a tad bit overrated. Most of his ideas are contrived from grindhouse films and cult classics from the 60's and 70's. He lacks orgininality (is that a word?)

Christopher Waltz brings another solid performance to stack on top of his Inglorious performance.

I think you mean Christopher Waltz brings in the exact same performance, including much of the same dialog from his performance in Inglorious bastards.
