He is back

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2013)

10 out of 10. Yes it is that good. At least after a first watch-through. Some people would argue that Tarantino had gone wrong with his last outing "Inglourious Basterds". But whether one liked that film or not, it does not matter, as the most important thing was that Tarantino found Christoph Waltz. Mr Waltz succeeds extraordinarily in Django Unchained too, and some would say he steals most of the scenes he is in. In addition to fine performance by this fine actor, we are served to solid performances by Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio too. Jamie's role is on parts a bit laid back and "cool" but we can sense his focus in his eyes. Leo obviously enjoys working with Tarantino and like many actors, really overplays (in a good way) when he gets into the role and spits out the well written dialog from QT. Directing is as good Tarantino as we've ever had, I'd probably most compare this to Kill Bill vol 2. There is blood but it is cartoonish and actually the most violent parts of the movie are couple of scenes portraying more emotional violence. Tarantino obviously pays great homepage to spaghetti westerns of yesterday and we are even treated to a score by Ennio Morricone. I wouldn't mind a sequel of sorts. Bloody well done!
