Foxx is perfectly suited to the role of Django as you'll see when you watch it, you better watch it! However the best actor in this film is without a doubt Cristoph Waltz as Dr King Schultz. His performance is bordering on perfect. Don't be at all surprised to see him get nominated for best supporting actor, which will back up what im saying, not that it needs backing up because you'll see when you watch it.
Tarrantino has delivered once more with the usual blood, guts, gore and profanity, oh and obviously a splendid film. Django Unchained will probably not recieve the full acclaim that I believe it should, but a best picture award is nothing compared to what this film will gain, a memory in our heads and a place in our hearts.
Django's search for his wife with Schultz also involves us as we are so engrossed in what is going on. The film's western feel means it stays true to itself which is more than can be said for some previous western films that made you want to breath in asbestos. The film is also realistic, ahhh....there is nothing quite like watching a body explode after being shot by a revolver.
Leonardo DiCaprio's unexpected role as a villain (Calvin Candie) is also marvellously carried out and very fresh. He actually makes a better antagonist than protagonist in my eyes.
Django Unchained is the perfect example of what an adventure film should be like, an all star cast, a brilliant storyline, original elements and of course an epic finale! There is something else too, where else can you get a wild, extravagant, ferocious feast of violence this year? And who else could deliver it the way that Tarrantino does? Nobody.
Final Verdict: Film of the year and one that will define the decade just like Pulp Fiction did, Tarrantino has done it again, Pulp Fiction and now Django Unchained.
SCORE: 93/100
