so far, it's the best 2012 film that i've seen(late edit:now #2)

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2013)

Don't know if it will hold that spot. This is the first 9/10 of last year's films crop for me. Granted, I've only seen about 50 of the 90 or so films that I intended to view.
"Django" is exactly what I expected. I expected violence. Got it. I expected controversial, witty subject matter, and I got that too. I had high expectations, after all, this is one of the years most hyped films, from one of Hollywood's standout director's. Knew all that going in, and now I'm left here debating if this thing deserves a ten. I didn't debate for long, and settled with 9.
One of the director's best. Right there with Reservoir Dogs for me. A totally different film, but still a nine. Waltz deserves an Oscar, and so does Tarantino. Beautiful, violent film. 90/100 It was much better than Cats.. I'd see it again, again, and again. Perfectly paced for the length.. feels more liked 2:15. Awesome music. Awesome dialog. Fantastic characters. Offensive. Gory. No excuse film-making at it's very best. Made even better because of those who will despise it. Not as violent as bill, and now makes me wonder if a re-watch will yield a ten upgrade. This film was a blast.
LATE EDIt.. Has since been unseated as my best film for 2012, but I anticipate this will stay in the top 3.. #2 rt now with about 30 films left on my 2012 watch list.
