Simply doesn't get you there

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2013)

It has plenty of action, some truly memorable sequences, interesting casting solutions, but It seems that one of the most eminent directors of the past two decades had a little recycling business to do with Django Unchained. At many times we meet too many artificially constructed, forced dramatical climaxes, some of which could even work if they were reduced in length or quantity. Django tries desperately to reinvent the charismatic, witty characters of Inglorious Basterds, but unlike Inglorious Basterds, we find merely a shallow, logorrheic bunch of show-offs. There is a point where a filmmakers flamboyancy becomes rather pointless, and I think this is the first film where Mr. Tarantino has slightly slipped into that direction.
