Good watch, Christoph Waltz made the film.

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2013)

Just seen Django.
Before and film I try and go in with an open mind, getting rid of any hype or people saying its good or bad.
Some of the effects were very good, while some were very basic (Tarintino hates the use of computers and refuses to edit his films with computers.. This is probably the cause for some of it). It didn't deserve a 18 rating. Story line followed a plot which was obvious, seen most of it coming. The camera work was fantastic throughout and really added to the western theme. The slavery side to it was brilliant, shown a slavery in the light it should be - As a disgusting abusive thing.
Jamie Foxx was alright, but I have seen better people play the roles of slaves/ex-slave. At points he shown far to much "ghetto" for someone who had just left slavery. Christoph Waltz was incredible though. His acting was brilliant and his role was hilarious in each scene. Samuel Jackson was brilliant too, an the effects to make him look 76 were brilliant. Dicaprio was obvious incredible too.
Thinking back to they hype, it wasn't the greatest film ever. It didn't inspire me or anything. Was just alright to watch really. Has nothing on some other films which stay with you for a week afterwards because they were so good.
About a 7/10 - maybe 8/10 if I am being generous. Was a decent film though. Didn't feel like 2 1/2 hours of viewing.
