So much average

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Although very well made, I honestly can't say its been a pleasure watching this. In fact, there are not enough adjectives to use to describe how I loathed this film. I watched this in utter disgust and hated EVERY minute. Also, how many times must I hear the word n***** in one film??Wait, what?? Calvin Candie (DiCaprio jumps to conclusions because of an ASSUMPTION made by Stephen (Samuel L Jackson) before obtaining ANY facts and this leads to gunfight galore??? THIS is supposed to be where it gets interesting??? Two hours into the film when most films end??? What the bloody hell! And it took almost 3 hours to tell this story??My ONLY positive comment goes to Christoph Waltz, who was excellent in this film.The film won numerous awards. Yeah, blah-blah, who cares...

The rifle that Schultz uses is a Sharps 1874 Buffalo. The Sharps Buffalo wasn't introduced until twenty years after the film's time period.

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.

Tarantino's love letter to blacksploitation and especially spaghetti westerns. An epic, violent, funny and sweet as candy tale of revenge in the wild west as only QT can tell it. Great characters and dialogue as expected and the cinematography is also great: snowy mountain tops, prairies and plantations look gorgeous, as does the bloody action! Very memorable performances all around, but especially from Waltz, DiCaprio and Jackson! Also a sweet soundtrack, but that goes without saying.. :)
