A terrific comedy!

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2013)

For fans of Inglorious this is a fitting follow up dealing with slavery before the civil war. His homage to Westerns is charmingly done. There are many hilarious moments and the performances are right on. Samuel L Jackson is unrecognizable and so funny he deserved a nomination. Jamie Foxx as Django is suitably perplexed then intense. It's a role he is really suited for more so than his more serious roles. Christoph Waltz's comedic delivery of his lines completely carries the first half of this movie. It was wrong to kill him off. Leonardo is quite good and I found him more convinging in this comic supporting role than his leading serious roles.
The over the top violence and gun fights are a bit deja vu. And the ending is a bit predictable. But overall it is extremely enjoyable and is'a a terrific comedy with a serious historic setting. The writing in Inglorious was more clever and inventive but it's still pretty good here.
