Django Unchained (2012)

I give this film 5 out of 5 stars and a 100% of Rotton Tomatoes and it was easily my favorite film of 2012

Django Unchained is my second favorite Quentin Tarantino film, and that’s saying A LOT! Everybody loves a good revenge flick. I don’t know perhaps it’s human nature but it sure is rewarding to see bad people get dealt with. Tarantino knows this and uses it well. The set up and payoff is absolutely awesome to watch unfold on screen. Westerns are usually a typical story that’s been done over and over again and Django really is no different at its core. The difference or X factor to use a term a hate is Tarantino himself. He as a director has isms, and all of his isms are in full effect, old school graphic overlays and credits, witty banter, extreme and glorified violence and perfect use of soundtrack and awkward humor to name a few, only instead it’s a western story. However it’s a western story with a visual flair touched up with QT’s supreme dialogue and other ism’s. I don’t use the term glorified violence lightly either it is a very violent and bloody film. It’s not a comedy but multiple times had me laughing louder than everyone in the theatre. One exchange almost left in tears I was laughing so hard.  Production values are off the charts the actors are ALL so good. Tarantino knows how to get the very best work out of actors in every single movie he does and Django is no different. Christoph Waltz deserves and might get another Oscar nomination for his brilliant work in Django. He probably won’t win (Those Lincoln actors were just too good) but the nomination should be a lock, Jaime Fox also a very excellent and fun performance and Leo Dicaprio in a supporting role with QT’s dialogue driving him to new heights of character acting, it’s one of the most different characters Leo has ever played and Sam Jackson’s tole is one I won’t forget for years! It doesn’t stop there however he manages to heighten and tell the story even further through his absolute brilliant use of soundtrack. QT has always had a more than awesome soundtrack and this is the best one for a film since Pulp Fiction. This movie must be seen by any fan of Tarantino and any fan of film itself because love it or hate there is nothing like it, especially in this genre and it will most likely never be seen again. What a brilliant genius of a movie maker Tarantino is and this shows why when he releases a film every 4 or five years or so people must stop and take notice he has not lost a single spring in his step in fact he seems to have stepped up his game! Total 5 out of 5 stars and an absolute must see Simps pick of the highest recommendation.
