In Reply to: Django Unchained - Masterpiece or Piece of ___? (No spoilers) posted by geoffkait on December 26, 2012 at 05:28:08:
A Tarrantino masterpiece of adolescent pranks. Spike Lee said no way he'd see it and he may be right. If anything Tarrantino must be one of the shrewdest talkers on the planet to get this movie cast. What really surprised me was Sam L Jackson's blistering performance of the duplicitous, sleazy house honcho. He was really into it and very convincing in a comical way. I commend the cast for their professionalism in executing the roles with sincerity. It must have been difficult for them.
Could have done without Jamie's junk but Quentin's homage to Ken Norton in 'Mandingo' was just too much for him to pass up. Leo was almost convincing and perhaps he should concentrate on roles featuring perverts with dental hygiene problems.
Again, TOO LONG. Also, Tarantino's fascination with Waltz and these extended scenes of dialog. It worked in his WW2 epic but now it's gotten old.
