Quentin Tarantino's best in a very long time

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2012)

Quentin Tarantino has long been a great director especially for movies like reservoir dogs (and especially) pulp fiction. After pulp fiction came jackie brown which although was decent did not meet the high standards met by those earlier movies. This was followed by kill bill which was a very good set of movies that was stylish fun and action packed. Then death proof, a disaster followed by Inglorious basterds a very good movie although boring in parts. However Tarantino's new movie Django unchained is his best since pulp fiction. It has great performances from Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo Dicaprio. The cinematography is great featuring vast mountains and fields with superb camera movement. The direction is stylish and unrealistic, typical of Tarantino. The plot works for the entire movie ( which couldn't be said for inglorious bastards) and everything seems top notch and sharp. Overall a must see and clearly one of the best movies of the year.
