Saw this today. I kind of agree with some posts from the old thread. It was very well done and fun as hell, but I thought Basterds was more satisfying. Carry on.

Spoiler: show
The 'raid' scene with the hoods was priceless

I can't fully enunciate why, but I liked Django Unchained a lot more than I liked Inglourious Basterds. If I had to try and pin down the reason, I'd probably come up with something about a more cohesive plot and a stronger theme all around. Plus, slavery aside, the south looks downright gorgeous in Django.

MANDINGO FIGHTING

The star of this movie is really Dr. Schultz in my opinion. He gave a lot of the dialog something special.

I'm pretty surprised at people saying this is better than Inglorious Basterds, that just seems unthinkable

Leo has gotten better with age, at one time I couldn't stand to look him, The scene where he slams his hand down....


Spoiler: show
He actually cut his hand pretty bad on the glass and just kept going. So the scene where he wipes his blood all over Kerry Washington's face is fucking real!. I don't know how I would feel about have leo blood smeared all over my face considering he bangs a different women every weekend.

Yeah, I read about that.
Spoiler: show
It did look a bit weird that he would hurt his hand in that scene, but I never would've guessed it was real and then he improvised on it. I think this is the year diCaprio gets his Oscar.

Watching this in Mississippi in a room full of black people was a little uncomfortable.

I think I liked it about as much as Inglorious Basterds. I always have so much fun watching Tarrantino movies. It's exactly what I want out of a theater experience.

I liked it a lot, even though I am usually not attracted to violence in movies much. It was all very functional here :). I also like they way they have a brown main player just being very, very cool 8-). And Leonardo is very Vedder-like in this one, with the beard and cheeky looks. And a German in a good role is also nice, for a change. They usually get the villain roles. I love the classic structure of the movie as well, without it becoming predictable.

groetjes,
Mirella :)

I got the feeling that Quentin Tarantino cast himself as an Australian to get around saying the n-word.

Agreed. I loved Django, but I don't think it's anywhere near the level of Inglorious Basterds. The latter is a tour de force and his best picture as far as I'm concerned. Django was a lot of fun, and beautifully shot, but felt slight in comparison. I found the final act sloppy, disjointed and a little rushed.

Well, for me this one was his worst movie, without counting Death Proof maybe.
The last act was a mayor WTF moment and overall with the movie i just dont care about most of the characters.
The dentist was just a big meh and the only interesting character was Di Caprio´s and maybe Sam Jackson´s.
I guess i want tarantino to make movies in the "real world" again, as he said sometime about some of his movies being in the real world and some others being in the "cinematic world".

Spoiler: show
how can they dont kill django when they capture him?? are you fucking kidding me? a black guy doing all that shit and they dont kill him? Stupid

I liked it, probably liked Inglorious Bastards more but this was a quality movie. I still prefer his early stuff more than anything because I just feel like he goes over the top sometimes with making everything so relentlessly cool. Compare IB and DU with Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and those movies are just so much more genuine. I get what he's trying to do but it just annoys me sometimes.

Whoever did the blood squibs on this movie is a sick genius, they were amazing.
