Django. Fun and pointless

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2012)

The biggest thing here is Tarantino's ego. Wow! A very clever, even gifted, filmmaker with nothing to say, nothing original that is. I'm not going to subscribe to Spike Lee's objections because that would imply taking this seriously. Mr. Tarantino's ignorance is just monumental, mo-nu-men-tal! but, I'm afraid, very much the sign of the times. Let's make it about nothing with super violence to keep the crowds cheering. What about taking a little responsibility sir? Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and the rest of the cast do a credible job, inhabiting Tarantino's makeshift universe. Sergio Corbucci is your hero, but not John Ford, okay, that makes sense in your world, Mr Tarantino but please, stop preaching. Make movies but don't pretend that there is depth in your shallowness. I must say I wasn't bored, in spite of its length, I was just annoyed.
