As Usual with most Tranantino films I loved this film except for the over the top violence in the last 30 minutes. Still a great movie. Waltz again steals the show. Only Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown are ahead of this film in the Tarantino collection.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Cons a bit bloody
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was pure entertainment from start to finish. More violence than I prefer, yet tons of dark humor, campy music and a great story line. When I say LOADS OF FUN, I mean it! This movie will hold your interest and have you on edge of your seat. It's a drama with plenty of scarcasm and humor when you least expect it.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, adult humor
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Please do not waste your $$$. It had a very boring story line and 2.5 hours to finally expose the plot was unbearable. What really bothers me is why so many of the viewers of this movie gave great reviews to this movie - it was a blow em up, bloody , stupid movie. Some of the acting was good but the story line was really weak. We did enjoy Cineopolis though - the chairs were the ONLY reason we stayed. Don't waste your time. Quentin, wake up- you are much more talented than this!
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Excellent depiction of extreme wild west days of slavery. This again is extreme, but true in many senses of articulate and controversial media theatre artwork.
2 hours and 45 minutes, and not one minute is wasted. Action. Humor. Violence (yes, it's bloody but not gross). Typical Tarantino. But this movie goes further. It's a commentary on the awful truth behind slavery and how blacks were brutally mistreated in the 1800s. If you are a Tarantino fan... if you thought Pulp Fiction, the Kill Bills and Inglorious Basterds were great, then you need to see Django Unchained.

We weren't sure what we were going to get when we went to see this movie but it was fantastic! It was very funny and the action was great. Our only complaint is due to the excessive blood (which still worked for the movie) and the rap music they used for s Western movie, it didn't quite fit.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, funny, clever, action
Cons overdone blood, odd music choice
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie was great and the action was epic Jamie fox killed it
Yeah, this movie was great. It is also my first Tarantino flick that I have seen. And as I expected his script, and dialogue were great, and I believe that he should win for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars this year. The dialogue was great, well-written, and realistic, as I have heard. The story was very intriguing, and considering the running time it was very well paced, and kept you interested the whole time. The acting was amazing from the main five actors listed on the left. Christoph Waltz has a chance at his second Oscar this year. Now, just to make things clear this movie has profanity, and a lot of it that may offend a lot of people. It is also very bloody, violent, and gory. So don't be expecting a light-hearted action/adventure, and don't come out of the theater being overly offended, because now I warned you, and you should now what you are in for. I'm not trying to be over the top, but am just letting people know. (It also has a good shot at winning Best Cinematography and Best Sound Editing) O.K. I'm done now.
“Django Unchained” is without a doubt the best film of 2012, a slick, sharp-tongued, bloody action epic that has Quentin Tarantino’s fingerprints all over every smartly homaged frame. Smart dialogue, an incredible soundtrack, and more blood than all the horror flicks of 2012 combined are what usually make Tarantino’s films so indulgently fantastic, the kind of movies that real movie-lovers love. And that’s all here, with a double check on the amount of blood as Django teams up with a Dr. Schulz to rescue his wife from the hands of a mad man, and violently exacts vengeance on her captors. But Tarantino’s films have also always featured strong, wonderfully defined performances, and there’s no shortage here. Jamie Foxx as the vengeance-seeking Django, Christoph Waltz as the dentist-turned-bounty-hunter King Schultz, Leonardo DiCaprio as the violently eccentric plantation owner Calvin Candie, Kerry Washington as Django’s lost love, and Samuel L. Jackson in a scene-stealing performance as Steven, Candie’s right-hand man. That only Waltz managed to get Oscar’s attention is a travesty. I would have given a nomination to Foxx, DiCaprio and Jackson as well, if I had the choice. Unfortunately, I don’t. An incredible host of famous faces rounds out the epic cast, including a bit part by a lazy-eyed Jonah Hill and a hilariously explosive cameo by the director himself. Don’t like Westerns, you say? This will be your exception, as it both affirms and breaks the sacred and longstanding rules of the genre, and throws in some new elements to redefine and reinvigorate (an Oscar-worthy original rap song, for instance). At 165 minutes, the film seems to be reaching a ridiculously violent climax during a shoot-out for the ages, but Tarantino is only beginning to turn on the heat at this point, and the ending will have you boiling over with excitement.
If you're a fan of Quenton Tarantino, you know exactly what to expect - lots of blood and cursing with a cast of regulars and lots of fun cameos. Do not see this is you are easily offended, because it is over the top...way over the top!
Django is Tarantino's foray into the Italian Spaghetti Western genre, which was a take off from Kurasawa's Samuri films, which were taken from John Ford's John Wayne Westerns. And here the circle comes full round back to the American West in a story where a slave becomes a bounty hunter who wants to get his wife back from a sadistic Mississippi plantation owner played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Tarantino never misses an opportunity to twist the idea of an African American in the days of slavery in every possible way he can. Jamie Foxx (Django) is an escaped slave who becomes a free man with the help of Christoph Waltz who plays a dentist turned bounty hunter. Together they hunt down and legally kill white men (outlaws) for money. Samuel L.Jackson is a freed slave who works as DiCaprio's aged right arm henchman. Tarantino loves to take history and rewrite it (as he did in Inglorious Basterdz). Watch for his brief appearance near the end as an Australian. Check out the credits at the end to see who some of the cameo players were. And stay for a short bonus scene after the credits.
Pros well paced
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Over 95% of this movie was nothing but blood and gore. I'm surprised Di Caprio and Jackson associated themselves with such a disappointment.
Excited that I've FINALLY paid and seen a movie that was worth my $$$ and time. The 3 hours flew by cuz it just never started to bore me or made shift butt cheeks in my chair. Quentin is a genius on his job!
We saw the movie tonight and thought it was one of the better movies we've seen in the past several months. As most have stated, this is a classic Taratino film - bloody, funny, and downright excellent. For the length of time this film played, it went by quickly. There are no "deadspots" or movie drag. We counted approximately 45 "N-words,"(we may have missed one or ten) which by no means came across as offense given the timeframe and historical nature of the film. As a matter of fact, many times, it was funny. We would see this movie again and definitely plan on purchasing it when it comes out on DVD.

I don't like cowboy movies. I don't like westerns. But I LOVED Django. I only went to keep my husband company and for the popcorn but I ended up loving this movie. Action from the beginning to the end and a great story line.
Django kept me engaged throughout almost three hours of a myriad of emotions. At first it seemed a little slapstick in a way, then it turned darker after the midpoint. Some scenes in the movie might be very disturbing to some, and there is plenty of bloodshed to the point of "overkill." Still, the story itself was well done, and the acting superb. I really don't know why, but I expected a different type of movie judging from the trailers. Go enjoy it, but be aware that some parts might leave you a little squeamish. Great dialogue, great actors!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, great dialogue

Quentin Tarantino has created a masterpiece. This is probably my favorite movie of the year. For those who think this is a racist, overly-gory movie promoting gun violence needs a reality check. Tarantino makes movies about characters, and that's just what this does. Humans are violent, mean creatures. Crawl out from under your rocks and see this movie! You will be at the edge of your seat rooting for Django. EVERYONE in the theater was going through a variation of emotions through the movie whether it was laughing, crying, or even at the verge of putting their hands over their faces. There are many memorable quotes. Also everyone gave great acting performance, but NO ONE WILL EVER forget Samuel Jackson's performance. If you are thinking about watching this movie, just go and see it. You won't regret it!

Brutal...lacking the clarity and focus of Inglorious Basterds
Django Unchained is one of the most brutally uncomfortable films I've experienced in quite a while. I felt uneasy nearly the entire time. Though Quentin Tarantino is clearly attempting to shine a light on America's disgusting history of slavery, his insatiable on-screen bloodlust glorifies violence in a way that rivals the fantasies of any real life mass murdering psychopath. I believe the film will be considered one of the most violent and socially offensive films in recent memory, but I guess that was the point he was trying to make. Definitely not a good movie for mentally ill people with gun collections and a plan.
Overall the film lacked the smooth style, clarity and focus that made Inglorious Basterds such a great film.
Pros good period piece, overly accurate portrayal of past events
Django Unchained is a mix of Western, Action, Drama, with some tongue in cheek similarities to the Sergio Leone spaghetti's. Some good laughs sprinkled in. The movie is violent, but not as much as I expected based on others reviews. Its typical Tarentino. Acting is excellent and I would sincerely give an oscar nom to Christoph Waltz. This guy was excellent and the movie dropped a notch when he was not in the scenes. My date was able to overlook the violence and loved the movie.
Pros well paced, great actors, christoph waltz
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the best movies of the year, without question...spraying guts and all
Movie was allright...dont think Ill sit through it again. Not what I expected and could have been much much better. Christoph Waltz was great as expected but was outdone by Leo who was Incredible to say the least. Sick and tired of Jamie Foxx though. Worth one look...maybe not in the theater.
