Tarantino is becoming an expert in mastering history, but with a costant reminiscence of his personal violent and rough direction style. Personally, I think this wasn't his best film so far. But sure this 165 minutes are really worth watching.

Always fun to see slaveholders, Klan members and other racists gunned down and blown up.

I just finished watching this movie, and I spent two and a half hours holding in a pee so I wouldn't miss a second. Worth the urinary track infection. Would risk bodily harm again. I give it two pairs of ruined underwear.

To greenhorg: The state of South Carolina declared its secession on December 20, 1860, which led to the creation of the Confederacy, and could be considered the beginning of the Civil War, so technically, Tarantino is right.

Great performance of Christoph Waltz. Astonishing dialogues interspersed with funny, bloody, and brutal scenes. One of Tarantino's masterpieces.

Quentin, that may pass for an Aussie accent in the US but not down here. Thanks for the entertaining evening though.

Django Unchained is the most fun movie I saw in 2012. It was filled with amazing acting, great story, awesome characters, superb script as usual from Tarantino and awesome direction. Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson absolutely stole the movie in this film and Jamie Foxx was superb as well!

I thought it was great - recognisably a Tarantino product with great performances, especially Christoph Waltz who is amazing (again) as the erudite but ruthless bounty hunter Schultz, Samuel L Jackson's cunning "house slave" Stephen and suitably heroic Jamie Foxx in the title role. There's a typically quirky run of great cameos from actors like Bruce Dern, Don Johnson and, wittily, Franco Nero. It's extremely bloody and has a fantastic soundtrack (of course), and although not quite a deliriously silly and well paced as "Inglourious Basterds" IMO, it mostly works very well as a modern meta-Western. The Klu Klux Klan "bag head" argument scene in particular is sheer comic genius.
My only criticism is a rather underwhelming, long, central section of the film where Django and Schultz take on Calvin Candie - played far too sympathetically by a miscast DiCaprio. I rate DiCaprio, and he is good here, but Waltz is so good he dominates their scenes. I'd have liked a truly vile performance to balance it out with someone who'd make your skin crawl (think a younger Christopher Walken, or Gary Oldman, even poor lost Heath Ledger: I think he could have done something interesting with it) - even with rotten teeth Leonardo's too pretty. Also the fun of the film drains away at "Candieland" and it becomes quite an unpleasant watch at times, but finds its feet again for the final showdown. I can't understand some of the flak QT has been getting in the States - Racism? Hardly. If anything Spike Lee's comments in particular look like sour grapes. He's never made a film as technically ingenious or entertaining, not to mention one so cleverly satirical about racial politics. Nice one Quentin.

Not as ambitious as Inglorious Basterds, but once again Tarantino pulls off this spaghetti western revenge story impeccably. With Oscar worthy performances from the whole cast, an out of this world soundtrack, and a whole lot of blood gushing fun. Django Unchained forces us to pay attention to the brutality of not only slavery, but racism as a whole, and I think that is something we as a society need to be reminded of. This film is right up there with Jackie Brown in regards to my favorite Tarantino films, and it's my definitely my favorite of 2012. Can't wait to see it a second time.

Waltz did a magic job here, amazing.

Some of the most visceral and wince inducing action scenes I can remember watching. The end shoot outs were jaw dropping.

The running time flew by and I really recommend it for a easy and fun watch.
