Django Unchained impressions

[Prpavi]

So i watched it this weekend, friends and i had the tickets reserved for the movies but when we all gathered at my place we decided it was too cold and blah blah, we just DL it and watched @ home ( chicks complained why did they bother getting all dressed up... typical)

We ordered pizza, light a joint a started watcing the movie. Now the movie isnt all that bad but a series of circumstances made me quite irritated (nothing to do with the movie) and in the end after 3 hours of movie and over 4 alltogether i found myself to be quite irritated, depleted, tired and found the movie to be crap.

Now my question is how did you guys like the movie, because i sure as hell didn't but since its Tarantino i'll give it another go all by myself, focused, my mobile phone turned off...

I did however catch a few brilliant  moments that are so typical of Tarantino and that makes me believe there is more to it than i saw.

What do u think?

Sounds like you didn't watch it. So you were talking on your phone and paused the movie for a cumulative hour? Like reading The Lord of the Rings while driving your car over the course of 2 years with your wife trying to talk to you the whole time. Sure, you flipped through the pages and may even recall some passages, but you didn't read and absorb the story.

Did you watch the movie?

[Tibe]

Good movie it was. Tarantino is simply genius.

[Paul]

I liked it. It's consequent.

Did you watch the movie?

Yes, and I'll be watching it again when it comes to Redbox.

Good movie it was. Tarantino is simply genius.

He and I are roughly the same age and it is obvious that we had the same influences growing up. Love his movies. 

[Kelugarn]

You really should go watch it again in theaters. It's amazing in almost every way possible.

...consequent to what?

Do you mean consequential? As in, significant?

Great acting - DiCaprio and Foxx never disappoint. Ridiculous story, but since Tarantino haven't shot any remotely realistic movies since Reservoir Dogs - i got what i paid for In short, if you like Kill Bill, there is more of that in Django - good old Tarantino dialogues and lots of sudden violent deaths.

[Paul]

As in consistent.

[Angantyr]

Haven't watched it yet, but looking forward to seeing Leonardo DiCaprio in his the antagonist role, sounds quite promising. Also, the 70s pulp Western and 80s Spaghetti Western references suits me very well. Also, never a bad thing for the public to be reminded of how short time ago slavery and apartheid was commonplace in the US.

Those are two very different things, though. Slavery went out in the eighteen-sixties, apartheid lasted another hundred years.

Both of them did a good job, not to mention Samuel L. Jackson! Damn he was funny  I was really happy to see Christoph Waltz get a chance to be the good guy. I liked him in Inglorious Bastards as the evil (yet so cool and collected) German and he was a real bastard in Water for Elephants. He played the good guy just as convincingly.
Oh yeah, there were a number of cameo's. Also fun picking out the various actors who had small roles.

[Laufknoten]

Well DiCaprio was great just as Samuel L. Jackson. Foxx wasn't as bad as I fought he would be and Waltz was just Waltz.
The movie itself wasn't bad, but not his best movie either and in no way "brilliant".

On another note I'm really fed up with this Tarantino hype... 

[CrazyCracka420]

It was a good movie, not one of his best.  Great acting/dialogue, decent story, good amount of action.  Really find yourself rooting for the good guys.

Was really pissed (but saw it coming) when Waltz pulled out his derringer

.  There were at least 3 spots of the movie where I was like "I highly doubt they'd be getting out of that situation".

I really felt bad for Django when he was captured again, and it felt great when he blew Tarantino the fuck up.
