    Finally watched Django Unchained

    What a terrific movie. This just flowed so well and had some great characters. Tarrantino is hit or miss for me, but I loved this and Inglorious. The violence/humor/history of this just all worked for me. The blood was a little exaggerated, though. I rented form Redbox, but this may be purchase worthy.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

    Totally agree!

    I loved it at the movie theater, saw it twice there, then when it just came out a few days ago, I bought the Blu ray disc, saw it twice more, lol.

    It's already one of my all time favorite Westerns of all times, I could be biased, because I love everything Quentin Tarrantino does.

    Christopher Waltz and Jamie Fox were great, but I think Leonardo DiCaprio stole the show, what a great actor he has become, second only to Daniel Day Lewis right now.

    Django was my favorite movie of the year.

    I rate Django a ten out of ten.

      I'm not a Tarrantino fan by any means, but I do want to see this. I'm in for any good western, no matter how eschew it is.

        I liked it, but was so looking forward to it that I found myself disappointed in the end. I actually thought Leo and Sam Jackson were the weakest parts of the story, and the film went off the skids for me somewhat at that point. And then it just got cartoonish at the end...

        I'd give it a solid B.

              I'm not a big western fan, but this just worked for me. Yes it has some cartoonish elements, but it's Tarrantino. Inglorious had the same formula. If I hadn't already returned this I'd watch it again.

                That's your protypical Spaghetti Western right there.

                  I agree with that Django was the best movie of the year.

                  I also agree DiCaprio is a great actor. And he gets my respect for cutting his hand in that one part, and never breaking scene. But come on... Waltz's performance was head and shoulders above everyone else in the film. If anyone "stole the show", it was him.

                    Yeah, obviously it was Waltz' movie, but pointed out DiCaprio because some people still associate him with Titanic, and that's unfortunate, because he's a great actor...and that role was so different for him.

                      Been wanting to see it and finally got from the Redbox. I completely loved this movie. The action was great, the comedy had me crying, especially when Stephen's character was introduced. Actually watching it again right now for the second time.

                      You know its worthy when one is willing to trade sleep to slip it into a viewing schedule. Two thumbs up.. 10 out of 10 stars.

                        LOVED it!!!
                        A must purchase to add to the western collection.
                        The best western I have watched since Open Range.

                          I watched it last night and pretty much agree with you. I liked it, but it went on to long at the end and kinda came off the tracks. It's a good flick though.

                            I'm a huge Tarantino fan, so of course I really liked Django Unchained. Waltz, DiCaprio and Jackson were great.

                              Don Johnson was hilarious!
