I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

I just had the fine pleasure of seeing this movie on Friday, and might I just start off by saying that Quentin Tarantino has outdone himself yet again. From the plot, to the music, to acting, to the effects, everything was spectacular. The comedy was well placed and never overdone. I have heard that some people were complaining about the overuse of racial slurs, but I can't see how they would have made an accurate movie about the period without them.

Without going into any real detail I will leave it at this, Django Unchained is the only movie I have seen in my lifetime other than Star Wars Episode III that I would go back to theaters a second time to see. It is a great film and one of many signs that the industry has reached a turning point, it's an upward slope now.

So for those who have seen it what are your thoughts?

Nice, OP. I recommend you stop making long Halo 4-hate threads and more threads like these. You're good with words.

Pretty good. Solid performances from the cast; Christoph Waltz and Leo DiCaprio stood out as the best.

It was too long though. The last 20-30 minutes were unnecessary. It should have ended *SPOILERS* with the shootout after King kills Candie.

only thing that would have made it better is if they didnt cut that frank ocean ballad

So, you want to hear a story eh? One about treasure hunters? Have I got a story for you!

Dunno, saw a trailer on youtube and boy does that movie look like one of the ''mehest'' movies ever.

I'll have to disagree with you there, the scene with *SPOILERS* Steven at the end where he goes through that whole bit that Steven is just as bad as the slave owners themselves was essential to the plot.

Edit: It's also worth adding that this script was in work for years and the ending was said to be the most difficult part for him to write.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I loved the movie, it was fantastic.

There where some interesting/funny audience reactions where I saw it in Baltimore. Half the theater was black and there were some "did he really just say that word" moments at the beginning. Also, parents taking their children out of the theater right away. Why would anyone take a child to anything like that to begin with is beyond me.

Here's the thing, we already knew Stevens was as bad as Candie. It was pretty much cemented when he ratted out Broomhilda and Django to Candie. The whole rant Stevens did at the end just served to reinforce what we already knew.

Congratulations. You're literate!

I disagree. That part was the end of the second act, and the main conflict still wasn't resolved. The third act was short but a necessary conclusion to the plot.

It was great, movie of the year for me

The D is silent hillbilly.

*BAM*


I have to say it was a great movie indeed, did you know the part where Leonardo cuts his hand was actually improv?

The guy actually cut his hand on the skull and just kept acting.

It was more to bring all conflict to an end. Though in all honesty I could have done without the close ups and pan shots of Django's balls.

Take me into your heart! Accept me as your savior! Nail me to the -blam!- cross, and let me be reborn!

Christoph Waltz carried the first half of the movie. The dude is an outstanding actor.
