Tarantino has sucked since Pulp Fiction. Kill Bill was overly gratuitous sword slinging, turned it off. Was dragged to Basterds, meh. Why would I want to watch baseball bat skull crushing? Sorry, too much sickness. Will not see Django based on reviews of more overly gratuitous violence. Tarantino seems to think he's too cool for school, but he's really not that creative.

This was the best movie I've ever seen.
GOD FORBID A MOVIE HAS VIOLENCE AND USE OF THE "N" WORD.

"GOD FORBID A MOVIE HAS VIOLENCE AND USE OF THE "N" WORD"
Thank you! it takes places in the 1850's people used that word copiously all the way to the 1980's...hell there are still plenty of racists in America and I guarantee they still use that word.
And over the top...lest we forget the rape scene in Pulp Fiction or the Ear Scene in Reservoir Dogs...or From Dusk Till Dawn, I mean vampires killing bank robbers and vica versa. Django is my favorite of the Tarantino's.

Just checking - after seeing this violent movie does anyone have an urge to shoot up a room full of people? :)

When I lived in Chicago as a kid we lived in a very poor neighborhood.
The school I went to was over 90% black.
Every other word we said was nigger this nigger that and it meant nothing since all my friends were black.
Only stupid Americans who never lived in such an environment cry about the word.
It's not the word itself but how it's used in it's context according to exact moment in time and circumstance.
Since most Americans are stupid (:-) they get all bent out of shape over this word and make this huge blanket generalization about it.
Go live in the ghetto and learn something stupid Americans ..... :-)

Steve and I were at Alabama Hills when they were filming. Movie Flats Rd. was closed, but we like the climbing across the street just as well. Some climber guys that we met were climbing in Tall Wall area, and got bribed out of their shots by dinner in the gourmet food trailer. Missed out on that one! We did not see any movie stars.

Spike is just mad because Quentin's bizarre entertainment has trumped Spike's deep meaningful stuff so many times.....

I saw Django in Denver over the holidays. My 21 year old son and I watched it and enjoyed it for what it was, classic Tarantino.
My wife and daughter went next door and watched Les Mis; both movies had similar run times and show times... Coincidence? At least the dozen people in line in front of us split on similar lines.

It was entertaining and well done in a distorted sort of way, and perhaps a reasonable portrayal of the depths of slavery in the US. How representative it was may be another matter. US movies are frequently ahistorical, sometimes greatly so.
It seemed a stretch that the protagonists were a German dentist/bounty hunter, who teamed up with an escaped and recaptured slave on a somewhat quixotic quest. Not a likely scenario. The martial abilities of Schultz and Django also seemed a considerable stretch, with Django apparently able to use firearms of all kinds at all distances, and score a "kill" each time, but never be scratched by the numerous opponents. Not likely.
The fight scene in Pulp Fiction, where the punk empties a revolver at point blank range toward Travolta and Jackson, and misses, seemed a bit more like reality.

Still loved it .
