I most say this was a great way to end the 2012 movie season.

Chris Waltz was great in this one.
Jamie Foxx was gangsta was fuck as Django and was great with the gun paly.
Leonardo DiCaprio was dirty as hell as Calvin Candie, he did his thing like normal.
Samuel L. Jackson was in the zone as Stephen the dirty house nigga and Calvin's right hand man. Sam L. was talking some of the best racist shit since Uncle Ruckus on the Boondocks or Dave Chappelle when he played the black KKK member. Samuel L. Jackson as Stephen is the bad guy of the year. lol

This was a good movie action packed, great acting, gorey, and some great lines, and Sam L. was wilding in this one.. Quentin Tarantino did his thing.. 10/10

Hopefully I'll check this out before the new year starts . heres a snippet of tarantino's next flick...

Tarantino’s third alternate history movie will be a much bloodier version of Red Tails...


If you didn't get enough cathartic revenge for historical wrongs from Django Unchained, then rejoice. Quentin Tarantino isn't done showing the victims of racial abuse rising up and killing the oppressors. His third alt-history movie, Killer Crow, tells the story of African American soldiers during World War II who go on a crazy rampage and kill every white person in sight.

The film would be based in 1944 - as was Inglourious Basterds - and center around a group of black soldiers who go AWOL during the invasion of Normandy.


Talking to Harvard's Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Tarantino explains:

My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f—ked over by the American military and kind of go apes—t. They basically — the way Lt. Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an "Apache resistance" — [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland.

So that was always going to be part of it. And I was going to do it as a miniseries, and that was going to be one of the big storylines. When I decided to try to turn it into a movie, that was a section I had to take out to help tame my material. I have most of that written. It's ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it.... It would be [connected to] Inglourious Basterds, too, because Inglourious Basterds are in it, but it is about the soldiers. It would be called Killer Crow or something like that.

same here. but a lot of people are saying its good, so its making me want to check it out.
It's because it's Tarantino. Tarantino films get hyped up like crazy even if they are mediocre.

I wish Tarantino would get off this race/revenge stuff and go back to to his Pulp Fiction days. His new movie sounds retarded.

For the record I haven't seen Django yet. Could be amazing, I don't know. Just speaking about Tarantino in general.

This movie was pretty damn terrible. Not Inglourious Basterds level terrible, but pretty bad. So second worst Tarantino film to date.

Soundtrack is usually one of the stand out features of a Tarantino film, but this was by far the worst. Terrible song selection and terrible placement of the songs.

The slave violence is brutal as fuck, yet it didn't carry any weight/emotional context so mostly it made me cringe just from the physical brutality, but not from the dehumanization of a human being treated worse than we treat our pets.

The acting was mediocre to poor in nearly every case. Christoph Waltz was again the highlight of the film. DeCaprio, like Pitt before him, played a goofy over the top version of the character. I don't blame either of them and put that on Tarantino fully, but it still didn't make the performance any better. The best I can say for any of the rest of the cast was that they were present, Foxx, and nothing worse. I'd say Tarantino's cameo would be the worst performance in the movie, but he's not an actor so he doesn't need to be as ashamed as some of the others in this movie.

I actually considered leaving the theater at one point because I was tired and I didn't hold much hope for the movie getting any better. Instead I stayed because I had invested the time to see it and still had a little hope it would be good. It wasn't. I should have gone home and slept instead.

Too long. Don't know where i'd have shortened it other than just not making the movie though.

The high point was knowing I didn't pay to see it and just slid in to see it after the Hobbit.
