Django Unchained starring Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Quentin Tarantino is reviewed by Ben Mankiewicz (host of Turner Classic Movies), Matt Atchity (Editor-in-chief Rottentomatoes.com), Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast) and Christy Lemire (AP critic).
See what other critics are saying: www.rottentomat...
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. -- (C) Weinstein

It showed him training throughout the winter with Shultz. It wasn't overnight that he became good, Shultz taught him to read, shoot & how to handle bounty hunter situations. They were together for months.

Leonardo DiCaprio yeah he appeared in a comedy back in the 90's on the series;Growing Pains by the end of the series in 1992

@sanyrub 11 лет назад

I just saw it. I give it a 9/10. I loved every single scene. Obviously 3 hours are a bit too much. With 20-30 minutes less it would be perfect. But the whole theatre seemed to enjoy it much. The acting is amazing, Leo being my favorite. He truly surprised me. I already liked Inglorious Bastards very much but this is better as a whole, more focused. Great great movie. Of course you have to keep in mind is Tarantino (meaning there is always going to be lots of violence)

@erosmangr74 9 лет назад

It makes no sense to criticise "anachronistic" music, because all 20th century music is anachronistic per definition when used in a Wild West film. Did they think that Spaghetti Western music came from the Old West? If they think it doesn't fit, that's a different matter, but it is all anachronistic.

@HonestToCritic 11 лет назад

The disscusion seemed very positive and they said several times it was a great movie. But their scores seemed pretty low afterwards.

@thebitkid 11 лет назад

I don't think there was any scenes that needed to be cut, that Quentin removed himself beforehand. You could argue that removal of the humorous scenes is necessary, but I think they bring a needed break from the torture and violence, and lighten the mood a little bit.

@aswtx75 11 лет назад

I'm surprised Leonardo DiCaprio isn't getting as much attention for his performance. Everyone was great (except Tarantino, who needs to quit putting himself in his movies), but Leo was fantastic. I had the same problem with the movies pacing, but still worth watching.

@piepiepie911 11 лет назад

not a love story, It's a Revenge flick

@randomisraelite 11 лет назад

the movie is honest and accurate in the way you wouldnt expect it to be. the characters leave lasting impressions and are obviously having fun in their roles. the pacing IS very weird but i cant bitch about it cause i already know thats how quentin is. i always like the way they edit the stroy telling like when introducing characters like that part where broomhilda simply says "they call me hildie" and that was all from the flashback and then it was back to jamie and christoph i love that shit!

@NerdyLiberal 11 лет назад

I'm glad that you are open to people of different opinions, and are obviously trying to challenge yourself intellectually, not just trying to win cheap points. Good to know that you are improving our dialogue, and helping America be number 1 in character, in connectiveness, and in goodwill towards neighbors :)

@memitobonito 11 лет назад

They are right about the pace of his movies; I haven't seen this one but Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction are good examples; both are over 2 1/2 hours long and, at times, very slow.

@nonchalantd 11 лет назад

I felt that the longer scenes just built up the tension like at the dinner table or when Calvin insists on a handshake to seal the deal.

@cliffordharris6365 11 лет назад

Lots of people are saying that this movie should have been shorter. Honestly, I can't think of a single scene that Tarantino should have cut back on. In fact, if a 4 hour extended edition came out I would be more than happy to watch it. Also to many comments saying "this movie made me ashamed to be white" I have been seeing, don't ever be ashamed of your skin colour. And that goes for every race. Be ashamed of the actions the race has done, not of the race itself. Anyway, 9.3/10 for me.

@gooddog2001 9 лет назад

This movie was a love story at its core, however it is easy to forget that with all the blood being spilled al over the walls.

People keep throwing around the term "Spaghetti Western". That terminology is reserved for films made by Italians, mainly Sergio Leone, and were primarily filmed in Africa and southern Europe. Stop calling Django and Spaghetti Western!

@MEHOLE 11 лет назад

To be honest, I didn't like Forest Gump either. What annoys you about Tarrintino films? I can't get what people don't like about it, just curious about specifics.

@Phi1618033 11 лет назад

The only Tarantino film with a proper narrative is the one he didn't write, Jackie Brown. So what does anyone expect?

@milanamikasa1830 11 лет назад

I know that this film doesn't tell the straight history, It is Tarantino's movie not history class and that's why I said story is wrapped up in genre ..in historical accuracy I meant that the movie subject is slavery and it deals with history of the U.S and that's how Blacks were treated in this period of time..it is based on real history so I don't think that to say the movie is historically accurate is incorrect ...

@busby3141592 11 лет назад

Inglorious Basterds tense? I thought it was boring as hell to be honest, Tarantinos been off the ball since his best film (Jackie Brown imo) though the trailers I've seen for Django Unchained looks fantastic, so I'm hoping it's a return to form. And Kerry Washingtons in it so - I mean I have to go see it now ;)

@standoughope 11 лет назад

I don't know, sometimes movie critics seem a bit overly critical but their profession does demand that they fancy themselves to be experts on how to make a film. If you're THAT good at gauging what works and what doesn't then why don't YOU make a film? That's what irks me a little. I think in order to be a legit "film critic" you must first write and direct your own film to prove you know what you're talking about. Am I being unfair or narrow-minded?

@ANCIENTMYS 11 лет назад

Overall I understand your point BUT be clear this movie is really a LOVE STORY about two Black people during slavery;it's a period piece. They're married as slaves and the husband once attaining his freedom and being separated from his wife, risks his life to reunite with her.In essence,it's a traditional romantic Hollywood story where boy meets girl,boy loses girl then boy gets back with girl. Now when the overall plot of the movie is PURPOSELY muddled by people with agendas,confusion sets in.

@zachmohl 11 лет назад

And exactly what scene would you cut out of the movie. And Tarantino's not good at what he does. He's the best at what he does.

@StrapedWitMyGloc44 11 лет назад

Hey... I've only seen this once but the plot seems unnecessary at times. Can anyone tell me when they came up with the Mandingo buying idea, why they didn't just offer 12 grand for the girl to begin with? It confused me why they needed to lie and come up with some intricate plan to get her back instead of buying her. Another part was why didn't the German dude shake Di Caprio's hand... Maybe if i watch it again i can enjoy it more. Didn't like it the first time around.

@possessedslig 11 лет назад

Are these supposed to be critics? The best parts of Tarantino's work is the pacing, nobody writes a slow, tense scene like him those are the best parts, the character building parts, more film makers need to take note. People are too impatient these days.

@KeithBallardA 11 лет назад

I love Tarantino's prolonged dialog scenes. It was one of the only good parts of Four Rooms and part of why Reservoir Dogs is one of my favorite films. Remember how tense the bar scene in Inglorious Basterds was precisely because it was drawn out?

@WAAAAAAAAAAAY 11 лет назад

This movie was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed it. you should cut the scene when Tarantino himself shows up though.....I agree with them on the length but I didn't feel it meandering until it was quite near the end, it's not a big deal. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Blazing Saddles when reviewing this film [I would agree that it's nowhere near as good a film] - i think the 2 are comparable. I found this to be the funniest movie Tarantino's made in ages 8.5/10 for me :)

@tonlo92 11 лет назад

I saw this last night, it's fantastic. It was better then I expected & I like Tarantino films. People like Spike Lee who think it's racist are just looking for something to be angry about instead of seeing it for what it is. For me it was thought provoking, it showed sides of slavery I didn't know about, how some slaves had to turn on other slaves for a better life, living in the "big house" etc. It showed a true friendship between Django & Shults & a real love between him & his wife. A+++

They talk about pacing and things going slow as a negative. I can only imagine them reviewing a Sergio Leone film. Which is where Tarantino gets all that from.

@clock959 11 лет назад

this film was disappointing, disgusting, unrealistic, sloppy, unbalanced and BORING. what a waste of time!!! typical QT movie...who wants to see a movie about slaves getting revenge? QT ruined the western genre with this cheap flick!!! Kerry Washington has the worst performance, however the other actors were legendary. especially sam jackson. bounty hunting scenes were so dreadfully boring. The movie didn't pick up until it started at Dicaprio's character's plantation. Don't waste your money.

@rekcahdam 11 лет назад

I dont understand when people say "Hollywood" cant make decent film without blood and guts. Or that there are too many N-Words.. blah blah. 1) Movies are not made by Hollywood. Movies are made by people. Quentin Tarantino in fact. Violence and controversy is his style of directing! If I have the money to make a movie and I want to make a movie about pigs exploding into lolipops shaped like penises... I can do that ... and you don't have to like it . That's why freedom is so awesome :D!

@deeve76 10 лет назад

the worst critics I have ever come across

@crumcon 11 лет назад

I have never though a western style movie could be this good. But the ending is pretty weak to me, especially when the erman guy died.. the shooting scenes were great.. it was bloody great! but the movie went down hill after that. Tarantino could have make it better after the shooting scenes, he failed after that.

@PMChannel. 11 лет назад

For those who want to see Django Unchained...go see it...have yourself a ball. For those who choose not to see another movie about slavery....have yourself a ball doing something else. Simple as that....people....simple as that.

@Stablemable2 11 лет назад

Django is a BADDD-ASSSS western flick. Its like a hardcore spaghetti-western mix with hints of Blazing Saddles and it also goes deep into the perversity of Slavery.

@marcusdavenport1212 11 лет назад

Django is a classic!

@Goochbot 11 лет назад

Tarantino is an exploitation film maker, there's no point demanding he make a movie you would be much more comfortable with. Sick of Tarantino? Don't watch his movies. Its a shame though, Django is one of 2012's most engaging, exciting, stylish, courageous, shocking and outright funniest movies of the year. Tarantino doesn't take things too seriously, and nor should we. I would suggest, though, before saying Jamie Foxx is wrong for the role, a least watch the movie first.

@AwkwardlyAverage 11 лет назад

Why do you care? Can you just watch those "moving" films, and i'll keep watching an extremely engaging, funny, awesome, badass, and instant classic films like django. Its not for you to decide what films someone like Tarantino can create. Django won many awards, and when you become an extremely successful director and actor, call me...

@futurestoryteller 11 лет назад

I'll never understand when people complain about generic crap like pacing and then flat out say a movie is great - well it wouldn't *be* the same movie, it couldn't leave the same impression if it was different now would it? You're responding to what was there when you say it's great.

@justcallmeassinine 11 лет назад

Yes they obvious like the sound of their own voices more than giving a concise, to the point review of the movie.i just want to know if it is worth watching.But I could even watch this review.

@igotoldmoney 11 лет назад

I for one do not like the movie.He wasnt a hero,he didnt save any slaves,he didnt save anyone but his wife something any man would do.A hero is more of a selfles person and do things for the greater good.What U see here in this movie is a product of what was made by slavery,he just a western shooter.He had no intentions of helping other slaves and helping them get to freedom,he was blind to that for some reason in the movie,he will never go down in the books with some1 like HTUB. who owned a gun

@laug66 11 лет назад

I wish you guys did not feel the need to be 'clever' ALL the time!!! This is a somewhat important film that deals seriously with the subject of slavery in the US - It is the ONLY movie in recent years that shows the reality of what it must have been like to have lived like a slave. I think you should have less of a bar-room 'chat' and instead have some more considered responses. Viewing this 'review', most people would think the movie was just a joke and a laugh!

@milanamikasa1830 11 лет назад

I agree ... maybe I should use different word instead of accurate but when I watched the movie I absolutely loved it because what you just said and the way tarantino wrapped it up.. at the same time I was thinking that the many filmmakers tried to make movies about history of slavery but no one ever made movie like this before .. This western genre movie says the story that has to be told ... Idk everyone has different point of view but that's my opinion..

@milanamikasa1830 11 лет назад

Yes Tarantinos films are about action and entertainment and cinematography, spaghetti western genre..we know that but this movie is still historically accurate, but it is wrapped up in genre,even Quentin said himself that he made Django because he always wanted to make movie that deals with the america's past of slavery. So all I want to say is that historic meaning has very much to do with Django..this movie tells the story of slavery and its not just about action and entertainment........

@Brennan163 11 лет назад

I only had two problems with this film, some of the humour, like the bag-head scene, was a bit too over the top and felt more like they belonged in Blazing Saddles rather than a Tarantino film. My other problem was Broomhilda, aside from being the big prize for Django she really didn't do anything apart from scream and cry a lot, you'd think all the shit she's gone through would have made her a bit tougher at least. Aside from that it was a pretty decent Tarantino film, just not one of his best.

@RakeeshJ4 11 лет назад

@rickm071 Actually, in America at least it is poorly confronted at best. Slavery, women's suffrage, and the Civil Rights movement along with the genocide of the Native Americans and American concentration camps despite being on a range from shameful and important in modern times to an utter national disgrace that still has an enormous impact...well. No, it's not often confronted in books or movies.

@StrapedWitMyGloc44 11 лет назад

Thank you. I knew i was missing something. Still a bit confused why he would rather die then shake Di Caprio's hand. Maybe they were going to get ambushed after anyway, but why go through all the trouble of filling out a receipt for the slave then. Uhh just seemed like a cheap set up for a fight sequence. Also the German guy was facing his shooter before he even turned around and he waited for the guy to shoot him. Oh, and i agree, offering 3 grand for the slave girl would have made more sense.

@randomisraelite 11 лет назад

hey reviewers i honestly believe you guys should all watch this movie again...because i cannot understand what would make someone give it less than a 9/10 i swear...i like to consider myself openminded but i just cant grasp what would inspire you guys to rate this movie like you did. especially the female. any person reading this who has not watched the movie go ahead and enjoy what is one of the best films ive seen in a while. just cause you dont like it doesnt change how good it is 9.5/10

@codeman494 11 лет назад

ok i agree that tarantino has trouble with pacing. two movies of his that i had problems with his with that were kill bill vol. 2, and a little bit of inglorious basterds. HOWEVER he still manages to make them work. The fast pace momentum this movie starts off with to then slow down n get faster again is amazing. its essentially a reverse witches hat which makes you walk in the movie saying holy shit awesome! sucks you into the story and gives you a huge payoff at the end brilliant

@124geraldgreen 11 лет назад

If you made your point with some knowledge of who I am then i would understand but. the fact that you can be disrespectful over the internet. Have some class and address people as if they were sitting across from you because the fact of the matter is its to easy to make an uneducated comment in a disrespectful way to someone over a keyboard. the fact is I am West Indian, Native American and European and wrong is wrong.

@nib95 11 лет назад

Don't listen to these guys and shorten your films. Loved every second of the film and couldn't think of a scene or segment I'd cut out. The longevity, depth and subtlety of the less weighty scenes is what partly makes Tarantino films spectacularly engrossing. The Inside Man comparison? Really? It doesn't have NEAR the breadth of characters as Django. And even then they don't have nearly as much depth or layering. Silly comments from the panel imo.

@BlaineGamble 11 лет назад

Cleavon Little did carry blazing saddles, but I think Django is better,it's just so daring and ambitious... now about the master... joaquin phoenix gives the performance of a lifetime, I would put it up there with any performance in film history, so that alone... but the film has much more than ediie quell... I just watched Mirrors 1975 by Andrei Tarkovsky, amazing... also the other night I saw Vanishing 1988... brilliant... have you seen Lincoln? DDL has taken method acting to another level

@buttmunch473 11 лет назад

I gotta say i disagree with these guys, i thought the pacing was fantastic, at no point was i bored or did i fell like "ugh jeez ive been here two hours already im ready to leave", but as far as the subject matter this is the epitome of a love or hate film, either your gonna enjoy it for what it is and the fun and awesomeness of it, or you are gonna be seriously seriously offended and i reallly dont think it "meandered a little bit" at all

@vernontyson1361 11 лет назад

P.S. i find it funny that they give ben so much gripe for "not watching the movies" or whatever.. but he is usually the only one who gives a review worth a damn.. Matt is decent too, just a little too biased at times.. he got all nerd happy in the review of the hobbit when clearly the others didn't give a shit about Tolkien, as most people don't.. you see a MOVIE adaptation to be visually entertained, if you want the better story read the book..

@NerdyLiberal 11 лет назад

1. I haven't seen any other slave movies recently. They constantly make movies set in all sort of different time periods. Its no different than setting it in the old west. 2. It's not about whether or not we should free the slaves. It's about two guys IN our society during slavery. Do you seriously not get the difference? 3a. If you haven't seen the movie, you shouldn't be loudly spouting opinions about it. 3b. Thats like saying you wont see a movie about the holocaust because of how evil it was

@NerdyLiberal 11 лет назад

1. If it was about slavery, how would that be disgusting? That was a significant time in our history. It's not like we are ever going to stop making films about the old west or the civil war. 2. It isn't about slavery. It''s about two bounty hunters. One is a freed slave, the other is a German. It just takes place during slavery. 3. See the movie. I promise you it is unlike ANYTHING you have ever seen.

@Brokid81 11 лет назад

I thought Tarantino did another fantastic job with Django Unchained. The only negative critique I had (and mind you it's very minor), was what the guy was talking about with his "pacing" of this movie. Towards the end there, it got a little slow for about 20-30 minutes. But honestly, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I loved the movie! Tarantino never ceases to amaze me with his movies! Great job from Waltz, Dicaprio, Foxx and Jackson! 4.5 out of 5 from me overall

@Kronicilln3ss 11 лет назад

Well I'll have to wait till I see it cuz there's sort of a love hate more love then hate but with that quinten style were he does drag it out for 29mins too long I felt that severely in inglorious bastards didn't like that one but I loved kill bill 2nd fav and ofc pulp fiction #1 Jackie brown 3rd wasn't crazy about resivour dogs can't spell it it seems like every other movies great. And Leonardo decaprio is the joke in whats eating Gilbert grape lol

@atinfinityplus 11 лет назад

People need to stop comparing this to Inglorious Basterds. After WW2 was over, holocaust victims didn't stay under nazi rule for a hundred more years. There's no such thing as a slavery revenge movie. American slavery has many stories of individual triumph, but I don't care to see them expressed in a comedy. Would anyone want to watch a comedy about Jaycee Dugard's kidnap, enslavement, and rape at the hands of Phillip Garrido?

@standoughope 11 лет назад

The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to agree with you. I work in engineering so I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination when it comes to film. You on the other hand have a much better perspective to gauge its complexities. Also, it's not like Ben, Alonso, Matt and Christy were being rude or condescending. So yeah, you've convinced me. Thanks for the articulate replies. =)

@PRIVATEAYEIEYE 11 лет назад

I worked in a video store like Q, and like a lot of the trashy genre flicks he lifts from, it's just that he so BLATANTLY lifts. Call it a mash-up if you will, but I always feel like he can't create something on his own. The Coen Bros, can, or on a much lower level Charles Band Jr. does too. They both draw from the past, yet have created truly unique product. I always feel like Q is standing in the corner of the screen giggling and saying, "Wasn't that clever?! Look at my cool friends!!".

@EasyZee69 11 лет назад

Not necessarily. I can't bake, but if I taste a cake I can say it's too sweet, or too salty, or too doughy, or too eggy. I work in animation, I know the television and film very well. It's not easy to make a film, like it is to just bake a cake. My experience in the television animation and film industry has proven to me, that a lot of hacks get opportunities for any number of reasons... other than pure skill. When you watch a film don't you have an opinion about it? That's all critics do too.

@PRIVATEAYEIEYE 11 лет назад

I wish I could stand Tarentino's films, but I haven't been able to since the second time I saw Pulp Fiction. I suppose I'll see this on TV someday and get annoyed once again. I'm just saying this here because "his public", while admitting every negative point I make about his films forgive all. It's like telling certain people that I hated Forrest Gump..."A Sacrilege! How Dare You?!"

@standoughope 11 лет назад

Yeah but what you're describing isn't what a film critic does, it's what we the average film watcher does. There's a huge difference. For instance, if a baker bakes a cake and I try it I'm certain to have an opinion on whether it's desirable to me BUT if I were to dissect the ingredients,methods and specifically point out the baker's mistakes or lack thereof I also SHOULD be able to bake a good cake myself right?

@EasyZee69 11 лет назад

I totally disagree. You don't need to know how to play guitar to hear the difference between a great guitar player and someone who picked up a guitar for the first time in their life. You don't need to know how to bake to taste the difference between a delicious cake made by a professional baker and a cake made by someone that never baked before. You don't need to know how to paint to see the difference between a masterpiece and a painting by some hack. Same with film.

no the best scene was the begining of basterds the scene at the farm that scene is some of the best written, directed, acted scenes tarantino has ever done... i watched inglorious basterds last night and once again reminded myself how brilliant it really is. personally its my favorite movie hes done and ive seen all his movies. its the best looking directed, acted, written and most enjoyable movie to date. there are some scenes in that movie that take the breath away at how great they are.

I see the point you're trying to make and I agree with it to a point, that being said you also have to understand that the movie wasn't about Django being a hero, I think it was more of about one particular man rising from oppression and taking back what was taken from him, one being his wife, and the other his freedom.

I know, he really crammed himself in there too, making that group Australian because apparently he can't do a southern accent, one of the easiest accents ever. Seriously, the guy went to acting school for two years, you think he would have picked something up, he should stick to Inglourious Basterds level roles.

How would you like if another culture kept trying to tell your story. if you want to learn about someone else's culture let them tell you the story. If you haven't seen Roots maybe you should see it cause the fact is that the only reason this has comedic components in it African slavery was no laughing matter to the people it affected.
