Movie Review ~ Django Unchained (2012)

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, and Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained (2012)

So why, when I've said so many times how much I hate violent movies, do I love this crazy movie. I've also said more than once that I hate Quentin Tarantino movies. And yet I've now seen two of Tarantino's movies that I love . . . Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained.

Perhaps it has something to do with the stars of the show which I absolutely love. Christoph Waltz cracks me up. And I love to hate Leonardo DiCaprio.

The short version of the story is that Django ("The D is silent. Payback won't be.") is teamed up with a German bounty hunter. The hunt bad guys. The bounty hunter agrees to help Django find his wife who had been sold off. They find out where she is and come up with a really complicated plan to free her.

There is a lot of violence and red stuff and the language is a "bit" much but the story is good and the actors are amazing.
