A joy ride of film

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2013)

A great joy ride of a film.
This sports some truly great performance's from all of the cast especially Samuel Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Jamie Foxx's Django is probably the weakest of all of the character's in the set piece that isn't Kerry Washington. Although that is saying something considering how top notch the performance's of the other cast members are. Leonardo DiCaprio's Calvin Candie is deliciously evil. Which is great to see from an actor of his caliber. Christoph Waltz as the Dr. King Shultz is incredible and is funny and charming and really makes the most of his role. Although the real surprise of the film is Samuel Jackson. As the head house slave Stephen. Who is also delightfully evil. A genius peace of casting from Quentin Tarantino.
The script is what you expect from Quentin Tarantino. Violent, funny and clever. There is some truly funny moments in the film which is great to see. Although some of them are truly un-PC. Which is good to see from Quentin. Also there is two types of violence in this film. The brutally and disgusting violence that he show's us that is used towards the slaves. That completely different to the cartoon violence that we are used to in his usual films and also the rest of the film. The two types that are depicted are quite contradicting and different from what we are used to in this film.
Although it''s not without it's flaws and there is a lot of them. Kerry Washington's character is plain annoying. She is under developed and under played. Which is a disappointment. Although the massive problem with this film is that it has a completely un-necessary 20 or 30 minutes towards the end of the film that dose not need to be there. It doesn't add anything and becomes kind of boring which is a shame. Also Quentin himself appears towards the latter end of the film for about five minutes of screen time. Of which he is truly awful. He puts on this awful, awful, awful Australian accent that is just awful.
This is a good film that could of been better without the last 20 or so minutes. But still is a great ride of film that is truly enjoyable.
