It's Tarantino, what else did you expect?

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2013)

Some people are complaining that the movie is too violent. Well, it's a Quentin Tarantino movie, so you know you're in for a gore fest, right? Despite the typical Tarantino theatrical violence, I found this film wholly enjoyable. As long as you see the movie for what it is, cartoon violence, it actually works very well.
The story was simple but well executed and characters were uncomplicated, yet entertaining.
The highlight of the whole movie for me was the character of Dr. Schultz. Christoph Waltz definitely deserves all the praise he can get, and he made the 165 minutes long movie a treat.
Jamie Foxx and DiCaprio did well too. The only character I didn't like was Django's wife Broomhilda von Shaft. She really wasn't much of a character and didn't show much personality either.
Overall, the film was entertaining, well paced and stylish (thanks to Waltz). Yes, the amount of blood was over the top and the way Tarantino went to show the viewers his love of violence was a bit much at times.
Yet, this film is in my opinion Tarantino's best so far. I found it enjoyable and ended up watching it twice in one week. Even the music used in this film was well chosen and gave it an edge that other movies often lack.
I give it 8 out of 10
