Waltz was so amazing in this film. Its fun to watch him play his roles with that Quentin dialogue.
My favourite part was:
Stephen: I count six shots, nigger.
Django: [pulls out a second revolver] I count two guns, nigger.
Movie has so many quotable scenes. I look forward to Tarintinos next movie.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I think foxx did a fine job as Django. I think the reason a lot of people are saying he was miscast is because y'all are unintentionally comparing him to waltz and jacksons performance .
also like that out of every quotable line from the movie people are making sure they pick ones with the word nigger in them.

Watched it with my friend, liked it a lot. Set up the DVD at the first scene on my 360 and explained the controller just so my dad could watch it while I went to my girlfriend's, but ended up staying and watched the whole thing again. 10/10, loved it. Immediately bought it on Blu-ray. Tarantino's best film, on my opinion. It hits all the notes, the perfect amount of talking and over-the-top action.
And I also thought all the actors were great, even if Samuel L. Jackson, Leo, and Waltz stole the show. Foxx played perfectly the role of a former slave on a simple quest for vengeance. The line from the end,
, sounds to me like Django is indeed a great man, not simply for the obvious exceeding of what his race were perceieved to be able to accomplish due to lack of ability or intelligence, but for doing what almost no man at all could. He came from absolutely nothing and became the fastest gun in the South. His character is just that awesome.
I feel like 12 Years a Slave had a "look how awful slavery was" feel to it, while Django was more of a casual "shit's fuc*ed up, that's just the way it is" feel, with the characters not really having time or patience to lament on the inhumane treatment.

It was a fun movie

wouldn't have mattered, Django's character was merely a gun-hand used to propel the plot
Waltz and Di Caprio's characters were given a lot more to work with

Second favorite Tarantino film after Pulp Fiction (duh). Found it way more entertaining than Basterds.
Throughout most of the film I really felt this would was going to be Tarantino's best achievement since Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Up until
After that the film simply derailed in every single possible way.
Also,
the moment where Leo died, though.
Also,
I hate the fact that Tarantino always needs to have some sort of cameo. His scenes were terrible.
We're lucky he changed his mind about playing the role of Aldo Raine himself and instead gave it to Brad Pit.
Hah! Did not even know that. Thank God.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
I see a lot of people say Foxx was bad in Django but honestly he did alright giving that he's silent for most of the movie thanks to the writing. His potential shows sadly right at the end of the film(and maybe at the entrance to Candy Land)

I tend to agree with this (except I would add Sam Jackson). Thankfully, they drive about 75% of the movie, so it was pretty enjoyable.
I'm still not as keen on IB as people here are, but I did like large amounts of Kill Bill. KB Vol. 1 I saw something like four times in the theaters. But I still think PF and JB are on a different tier than the others.
Still, QT makes movies that, while I don't always have as much fun with them as others do, are at least interesting to watch. Never boring (Death Proof aside, and even that wasn't so bad).

I'd give anything to watch this in theaters again.

Torrintino walks that line between comedy and drama so well. Bastards did it a little better, but that's because Fassbender's bar scene put it over the top for me, personally.

I love this scene where King-Schultz is telling Django the story about Brumhilde, and he sits in front of him like a child to listen to it.
The dynamic between these two is fantastic.

I saw Django for the first time recently (about a month ago?) and loved it. Great characters (even Django, though I get the criticism that he's a bit flat), great soundtrack, and some awesome one-liners. Just enough of an homage to the spaghetti western, too. Honestly, it's probably my favorite Tarantino movie. Easily his best since the 90s at the very least.
The pacing is definitely off, though. I vastly prefer the movie before they get to Candyland. If the back half was tightened up it'd be the perfect film.
