Blazing Saddles Meets Trinity

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2013)

I am not even going to say that QT is back, because to me he never goes, he just disappears but always resurfaces with something different, and for me what I can only describe as a masterpiece, Django is simply brilliant.
It is amazing how many people I have approached and asked "have you seen Django", and they reply "what! That new western by QT", yes I say, and they reply "no, is it any good, I don't really like westerns", well for all you people, put aside the fact that this film is a western, and GO SEE IT.
I am not even a real die hard movie buff who considers writing reviews on movies, but a film this good deserves as much reviews as it can acquire. How would I describe this movie, it is simply to me Blazing Saddles meets Trinity, being "They Call Me Trinity" or "Trinity is still my name", if you have not heard of these two classic films, then look up Bud Spencer and Terence Hill here on IMDb.
For those who have not seen the original Django with Franco Nero who has a cameo appearance in QTs new version, I would also suggest you give the original a viewing, I had to explain to most of my friends who I know have all seen "The Harder They Come" Django is the film they are all watching in the cinema, the guy with the mad machine gun. Lastly if you have not seen Blazing Saddles, you are either too young or just not into movies, as Blazing Saddles is also classic.
Django ticks every box for me, as it has action, entertainment, great and at sometimes shocking as well as hilarious dialogue and Christoph Waltz doing yet again another great performance. I am not a fan of Jamie Foxx or Leaonardo DiCaprio, but as usual QT brings out the best in actors and I would happily watch this film more than once, even though is runs for over 160 minutes, which to be honest I did not even notice.
I gave this film 9/10, and the only reason I dropped a rating was due to the thirty second hip hop track featured in this film performed by Rick Ross. Even though I love pumping a bit of Ross in the car, and it captured the moment for the particular scene in the film, it just felt out of place to me as Hip Hop nowadays is a bit plastic, still the same nonsense about my struggles, my drug selling, my bitches from super rich people, who have no problems but just don't know how to spend money properly, and promote a positive image, I prefer the beats and just ignore the rubbish they are saying. Bottom line, hip hop has no place in a Western like it also has no place in a Chinese Martial Arts movie like "The Man With The Iron Fists", but I won't go there, that is just my opinion, but other than that this film is the business.
By the end of the movie, and the last song began to play before the credits rolled (a song also featured in Trinity), I knew QT had done it again, and to some people out there like myself Django will be seen as outstanding and bring back memories that were lost and forgotten from old classics like The Good, The Bad And The Ugly (starring Clint Eastwood) and other great spaghetti westerns.
Nothing has come near to these great films of yesteryear, and if any film would make me start a Bluray collection of Spaghetti Westerns, Django has done it, Bravo, Bravo, Mr QT.
