Very good movie, have seen it last night on DVD.

I've always loved Tarantino and now I'm used with the amount of blood and guts spilled in his films and I don't have to watch through my fingers anymore as I sometimes do with other deadly scenes in other movies. This one is so atrocious and the killings (and some torture) are so all over the place that if it wasn't for the terrific screenplay and Cristoph Waltz (and almost everything else in this movie) I wouldn't have watched it for close to 3 hours, way past my bedtime during working days. I'm sure that the actors and the crew had so much fun doing it that they didn't want the movie to end and it seems, at one point at least, after about two hours or so, that Tarantino felt the same way when Django killed all the other characters and was ready to start killing the crew, the director, the producers, the spectators and so on. But Tarantino, being the genius that he is, had no problem inventing more characters for Django to kill and as I started to guess, he finished by blowing up everything in sight and only him, Brunhilda and the spectators (mercifully) were left to enjoy the rest of their life. Tarantino appears in the movie by the end but has no luck, dies young.

Well, I survived and so might you.

Definitely Quentin Tarantino's best movie in recent years and definitely one of his films period. I have watched this movie from beginning to end multiple times and it's still exciting every time. Like Quentin's older flicks the jokes don't get old, they get quotable. Django Unchained has everything mixed together perfectly, plot, action, character development, suspense, aaaaaand over the top swearing, with all of it paced just right for the stories needs. Jamie Foxx gives one of his best performances as Django and Christopher Waltz as Dr. King Schultz has certainly stolen the show with his humor and exceptional beard. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a villain you start to like immediately. Certainly not for his cruel actions but for his gentleman hospitality that he extends to Django and Dr. King even though he has his suspicions. Now we all know that we don't watch Tarantino movies for the action, we watch them for the dialog. Quentin always writes the most interesting dialog and Django Unchained is no exception. Every time I saw this movie everyone kept quite, glued to the screen, and at full attention just waiting to hear what would come out of the characters mouths next. Now there were a couple scenes that made me wonder if the Quentin went to far with how slaves were treated but that just helped me realize we're not as desensitized to violence as politicians like to think and that things can still have a real impact on viewers. If you have the opportunity you should definitely take the chance to view this movie because it truly is a one in ten thousand.

I admit that I was at first reluctant to watch "Django Unchained" because I was unsure if I was going to be able to handle all of the movie scenes. However, I instantly changed my mind when one of my younger sisters treated me to the film on Christmas day. The film was better than I imagined and includes some of the following characters pivotal to the plot: Kerry Washington as the emotionally tough slave Brumhilda, meanwhile Jamie Foxx and Christopher Waltz brilliantly play a strong tag team via the roles of Django and Dr. King Schulz. Leonardo Dicaprio plays a wealthy plantation owner by the name of Calvin Candie while Samuel Jackson plays his crafty assistant Stephen. Dicaprio and Jackson play evil men, but in all fairness, both men also performed their roles in a superb fashion. Quentin Tarantino also makes an appearance in "Django Unchained." "Django Unchained" is a good movie for those who like unconventional western films.

This was a great film. A perfect mix of dark subject and yet with subtle humorous undertones. Very well acted. One you would watch more than once

It was Tarantino,what else is there there to say.Everyone was perfectly cast.The story was bang on.I have seen all of His movies,and each one is a big treat for the senses.
I heard that Will Smith was touted for the part of Django.So glad he turned it down,he would not have nailed it so well.

It should have been the Oscar winner for best film instead of Argo (that should have been in the documentary category).
It is a good replica for spaghetti western lovers).

This movie is awesome. True Tarantino film. I'm glad I bought it as I will definitely watch it again and again.

i just loved every bit of it.it was different yet very entertaining
quentin was right on the money with this one.
the all star cast also helps

Exceptional movie. Well written, directed and especially well acted.
Have watched it several times already. A great addition to our DVD
library.

GREAT GREAT Movie!!! So that is why I am giving it a 4. I was sooo disappointed in the lack of special features. I would say there is a total of 30 minutes extra on the blu-ray only.
