POLL: What Did You Think Of DJANGO UNCHAINED?
Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained has been a hit with the majority of critics, but some long-time QT fans have been a little less than fully satisfied with his latest effort. So, what did you think of the movie? Here's your chance to decide!
I don't consider myself a hardcore Tarantino fan by any means, but I LOVED Django Unchained (you can read my review of the movie by clicking HERE). Released in North America on Christmas Day, the film has so far performed well at the box office - hovering between the #2 and #3 spots - and received an 'A-' CinemaScore from moviegoers. So, what we now want to know is what YOU, the readers of ComicBookMovie.com, thought of QT's unique take on the Spaghetti Western genre...
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, "Django Unchained" stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...
