Django is an ex slave bounty hunter with his partner who freed him, Dr. King Schultz, on a quest to save his wife who is still a slave.

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2015)

Django Unchained has all the quirkiness you'd expect from a Tarantino movie, seemingly in a constant contrast between ultra violent action and a strange breed of southern civility, with a good bit of humor and cheesiness spread throughout. Django is by no means a sophisticated movie, nor does it try to be, but it certainly has fun. The movie turns a lynch mob into comic relief with perhaps one of the funniest scenes in a Tarantino film, and the way blood gushes out of bullet holes like a geyser is strangely fun to watch ( as morbid as that sounds ) sort of reminiscent of that same giggly feeling I felt watching Uma Thurman Katana break dancing in a mob of tuxedo clad ninja gangsters in Kill Bill Vol. 1, or watching Monkeys wielding LMGs in the Planet of the Apes reboot. That's not to say there isn't some stuff in this movie that is quite cringe worthy, namely a slave who is eaten by dogs and watching two "Mandingo" fighters battle to the death with a sadistic Leonardo DiCaprio watching.
As far as acting goes, Leonardo DiCaprio nailed his role as slave master, his character, Calvin Candie, was both unsettling and charismatic at the same time sort of emphasizing that weird southern civility built on a foundation of brutality.
Christoph Waltz also does a great job as the German bounty hunter Dr. Schultz, and I really enjoyed his relationship with Django, played by Jamie Foxx (another notable performance).
I didn't really have too many gripes with this movie, but they're still there. Broomhilda, played by Kerry Washington, is Django's main motive in this movie, but she literally says maybe a paragraph's worth of dialogue at best. Also the transition between Django being an ex- slave and becoming a bad ass bounty hunter isn't all that apparent, you see him collect a few bounties and practice his hand at quick draw with a snowman than he's able to gun down almost twenty cowboys later on in the movie.
Django is a good movie, it's by no means Tarantino's magnum opus, but it is still a great film worth seeing, watch it if you can
