This was the worst Tarantino film I've seen (I've only seen four).
The plot just kept going and it was way too bloody, even by Tarantino standards. Django (a solid Jamie Foxx) just needed to go back to get his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) but instead he kills more people (I wonder what he was like before meeting up with King). And Christoph Waltz, as Dr. King Schultz, is great as the smooth talking but bullet friendly bounty hunter, but his role was a leading one but supporting though he would win the supporting actor Oscar.
Now, while none of the bits were funny, I get the point of him calling out the KKK for how ridiculous and foolish it is to ride horses with a hood with two holes for your eyes only.
While it was incredibly watchable, it kept going on and on for no reason, and Leonardo DiCaprio was wasted, both as a character and actor which is unacceptable. So, I have no intention of ever watching this again. Grade: B-
Side Notes:
-Cameos include Jonah Hill, Franco Nero, and Quentin Tarantino himself.
-Samuel L. Jackson is unrecognizable as Stephen, Calvin's (DiCaprio's) trusty butler.
-King hates slavery but loves randomly killing people, without a fair trial.
