i'm a django fan, not like an all time favorite, but it was solid. a bit slow at times, but not bad.

i didn't think django was all that amazing either. i've actually seen the originals too, so i don't know if that changed anything while I watched the remake.

Best Original Screenplay Oscar: Quentin Wins At 2013 Academy Awards

Django (1966) - IMDb

1966. one of MANY spaghetti westerns. (fistful of dollar, once upon a time in the west, good bad ugly django etc).

despite the award, it's not far off of the 1960's westerns. I guess a lot of people just don't remember them or haven't seen them.

I think once upon a time in the west is a much better movie overall.

Add me to the Django "meh" crowd... pacing was a huge issue for me. Django was Tarantino's first film without his regular editor (who died a few years back, while hiking). I think it showed. Loved Waltz's performance, however.

Interesting. I completely forgot that his editor died. I felt that the editing wasn't an issue, a lot of movies that run for over 2 hours have their slow parts. It's a movie, it's an opinion.

I thought Django was pretty damn good,I thought all 3 performances by the lead actors were Oscar worthy.The only problem I had with the editing was in one part of the movie a scence seemed like it skipped a sequence,I thought the movie messed up when I saw it in the theatre but the dvd did the same thing.I think it was somewhere in the ku klux clan scenes

Sometimes a movie is so hyped it can never live up to the hype. I went in thinking this was going to be awesome and it fell flat for me.

Saw Oblivion last Saturday.
Very good movie.
Good sci-fi stuff.
His female British counterpart is a total babeorama.

Agree with you. Very good movie. A bit derrivative of other sci-fi movies, but it didnt bother me until the very end. Still Cruise delivered an epic line to make it worth it.

I have been wanting to see it. Same director did Blue Valentine; that is a powerful movie; phew.

Nope, haven't seen it, but heard good things about it. If you saw Drive with Ryan Gosling theres a movie coming out directed by the guy who did Drive and stars Gosling called Only God Forgives. Supposed to be one of the big hits this year.

Just watched Pain and Gain. It wasn't great but wasn't horrible either and on a plus side, u see a whole lot of TNA.
