Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
reeseegaming This movie is a fun action flick! It's not flawless but it's certainly very enjoyable for its fight scenes, phenomenal performances, solid pacing, and intense shootouts. There are a few problems I have though, mainly some of the obnoxious shots that go super close up, the annoying low frame rate slowmo, and somewhat uneven score. These factors prevented this movie from scoring a 9, but didn't detract too much from my overall experience watching the film. What this movie says about the history of racism is important and as I mentioned before, the acting was pretty great. To wrap up, this movie isn't flawless but it's still massively entertaining!
Godwin Davis Quinton Tarantino unfathomable finesse indubitably hits screens once again as he has teamed up with an ensemble cast to rekindle the western genre. Tarantino has been candid of his admiration for Sergio Leone and this work will make his precursor proud. Tarantino has woven action, laughs, thrills and adventure into to the story of a slave who is emancipated by a bounty hunter in search of outlaws. Rather than proving to manifest perils and atrocious reflections of a liberated slave the movie delves into an entertaining spectacle. The movies cult status was affirmed by performances of Di Caprio and Christopher Waltz. Waltz performance as Dr Schultz of German origin never betrayed the German pedigree thoroughly deserved his Oscar. Di Caprio has proven why he is the best in business by portraying Calvin a barbaric, tyrannical and imperious master. The presence of Jamie Foxx draws parallel with Clint Eastwood from the Dollars Trilogy where his guns do the talk. What distinguishes this movie is it its cinematography backed up with stellar action sequences. The opening scene builds an intriguing conversation be Waltz pulling the trigger. The pub scene highlights Tarantino, s skill to keep audience on the hook by compelling storytelling.The movie is inundated with quintessential western shootouts. It has got everything guns, men, blood and the heroism. The torture scenes rather than being gruesome have had conversations which keeps the movie exciting rather than disturbing. The movie features customary Tarantino,s penchant for great theme music with visually stunning Cinematography. In Django Unchained Tarantino has unleashed an iconic western character with all its virile and ethos. It is an amazing prospect for a western aficionado to see the revival of a dying Genre by a torchbearer of 21st century film making. It is a must watch for every western lover, a Tarantino zealot and every film lover. This film might not serve appetite of every movie enthusiast but has certainly been a regalement for me. This will go as one of the finest films in the 21st century and has shattered fetters of a Genre which was the heartthrob of the 60, s. This might not be Tarantino, s magnus opus but a sensation of a western Genre.
hikrushan Well, It is indeed a Tarantino Movie through and through. From first frame till the last, you can feel tarantino all the way. So if you are the fan of brutality and unexpected situation getting more unexpectedly worse, a true tarantino style. This is truly a gem for you.Even if you are not familiar with tarantino, go for it. Acting was great, Cinematography was beautiful. Just go for it.Multiple times watchable.
salmanalfarisi-81574 When it comes to the western movie, nothing can be forgotten from the most influential directors like Sergio Leone. His name became one of the several prominent directors for the genre. Now, this genre seems to have been dead for so long and people are very underestimating the genre because of the western genre always have a contemporary old and classic story.For Quentin Tarantino, he always presents a style with his own story, a genre that has the uniqueness of a fantasy world that he creates in his film, as well as the characters that I think nothing is ever neglected and always memorable in terms of storytelling and the scene.Inglourious Basterds is one of the movies that deflects a history and makes his own world and history to be a kind of fairy tale. I've known this movie for a long time because there's one scene from Leonardo DiCaprio that makes me understand so much when he improvises his character. In Django Unchained, the cast is all the top actors such as Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Kerry Washington, and friends.As with other Quentin Tarantino movies, Django Unchained always runs away from the core of the story which means's not too astonished by the main story. We'll be introduced with a Quentin Tarantino background that impressed like a three-dimensional western world and also take the background of 2 years before the civil war.The story will not focus on the freedom of Django who succeeded to become a free man but the conflicts that its brought here always unpredictable, typical Quentin Tarantino movies in general. As with Inglourious Basterds setting out from the original history, Quentin Tarantino developed a bit of the frame and improved it to his version.Although the plot is racially sensitive to black slavery, it's not a dramatic or depressive film from Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave. The plot that is presented always signifying the conflict that varies from each other and like his own movie, it will not be complete with a punchline dialogue that he regularly shows. So, this isn't an action movie where there are explosions everywhere.Despite a bit of action but he made it into the ultra-violent version of Quentin Tarantino, I think it was enough to bring an explosion, gore, shot, a clamor that filled with his version of violence. In this movie, Quentin Tarantino more often shows zoom in immediately yet cool in each of the characters and this makes the introduction characters so impressed like comics whereas I like it.Similar to The Hateful Eight, he confers a strong atmosphere both of the character and the setting of the place. The use of the soundtrack in this movie also seems to carry everything and I don't think anything seems cramped. Both from the quiet scene to the commotion, it seems that he shows his western version to everyone.In addition to the unpredictable storytelling style to the various conflicts, Quentin Tarantino called many big casts especially Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Leonardo DiCaprio. I wonder why Leonardo is not nominated for an Oscar? In fact, I like his character in here who plays the coolest douchebag ever. One scene that supports his role was at the time in the table scene where he did improvisation character after hitting his hands on the table until bleeding.Christoph Waltz deserves to be an Oscar-worthy because he's the one who dominates more than any other. The first impression when seeing this character at the beginning has become evident that this movie will become an insane manifestation of adventure with full of intensity in almost 3 hours. His character at Inglourious Basterds is the best because he is the one who can show the calmest and most cunning antagonist ever. In this film, his character is more shown while supporting the main character who's experiencing his adventure.Although Jamie Foxx is the main actor, his role is always closed by other characters so as to impress as drowning. I know that he plays a character with a character that doesn't talk much so the dialogue that he needs only briefly but, it came back from the previous form. Don't forget that Quentin Tarantino is also featured as a cameo in this movie where you can see it clearly.The shootout scene at Calvin Candie's home was the best of all, combining Quentin Tarantino's dark humor, and this was the most full-action scene I've ever seen during I watch a western movie. One of the most memorable scenes other than that is the KKK scene and this scene is one scene that makes me laugh out loud. It's not too many spoilers, you've to watch it now.Django Unchained is an artificial western version of Quentin Tarantino with his own fantasy world. He mixes the deep elements of the cowboy thing and diverges slightly from the original history. The conflict that presented in here like Sergio Leone's "The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly" which always brings conflict not only one but various and it's variable the way the story.Memorable characters, combining Quentin Tarantino's dark humor, big talk with a punchline and big action, I suppose I don't feel there's a waste when watching this even though the duration is almost 3 hours.
