FilmApe’s review:
Most of my enjoyment comes from simply watching how much fun the actors are having really getting into their characters. This is most apparent in Christoph Waltz's performance. The guy is reveling in the greatness of every single line of dialogue he has.
This is one film that continues to get better and funnier with every watch. What do you think of the Django Trailer? I think it looks awesome. Especially DiCaprio!!
I can tell two things from the Django trailer ... It certainly will not be boring and DiCaprio looks like he is having a whale of a time.
Yes, this film just gets better and better with each viewing. And Django Unchained looks like another winner.
Liked everything I saw in the Django Unchained trailer and am confident that just like my first viewing of Inglourious Basterds, I will be completely blown away by the film. Its kind of nice to have a reason to be excited about Christmas again.
All I want for Christmas is Django Unchained.
Tarantino seemingly can do no wrong.
My only beef with this film is the Basterd's part in it.
Because I do wonder if QT actually wrote it on purpose, or just failed to notice it.
We know that their plan is basically just the same plan as Shosanna's but neither side know it.
But what gets me is that the Basterds are not only pointless (as her plan works fine without them) but they make things worse.
It's purely down to the Basterds that Landa isn't killed.
And it's purely down to them that even Shosanna's still unknown plan could also fail if Landa decides to blow the whistle on the Basterd's plan.
They literally are not needed AT ALL in the film as far as the plot goes...except to save Landa!
I LOVE the film, more with each viewing, but not knowing if QT purposely wrote the Basterds to be that pointless/interfering or if it just turned out last that irks.
And sorry Ron, QT can indeed do wrong...2nd half of "Death Proof' and the tedious "Kill Bill 2" (should have been 30 mins at end of 1st film) show that.
@42nd I loved the Second half of Death Proof and Kill Bill 2. We all have our opinions though.
