IMO this movie was great, the over the top acting is what made the movie enjoyable to me and Christopher Waltz killed it. I don't see how people being whipped and fed to dogs for no reason at all doesn't give you atleast some kind of emotional connection with the plot. Everything in this movie is a blatant slap in the face and it made the revenge scenes that more fulfilling.

heres an article about that. I did hella laugh when they were bitching about there bag masks..
The Django Moment; or, When Should White People Laugh in Django Unchained?
To paraphrase Oprah, call it a "Django Moment." This is the moment when, while watching Quentin Tarantino's campy new slave-revenge movie, a person of color begins to feel uncomfortable with the way white people around them are laughing at the horrors onscreen. Though the film from which it stems has only been in wide release for less than 48 hours, if what I've heard in private conversations is correct, the Django Moment is already a fairly widespread phenomenon.
My personal Django Moment came when an Australian slaver, played by Tarantino himself, haphazardly threw a bag full of dynamite into a cage of captive blacks before mocking their very real fear that they might be exploded to nothingness. A white man behind me let out a quick trumpet blast of a guffaw, and then fell silent. My face got hot, and my nephew, who was sitting at my right, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Throughout the film, I'd laughed along with everyone in the theater as a lynch mob of bumbling rednecks planned to slaughter the "fancypants nigger" Django, and when the villainous house slave Stephen, played pitch perfectly by Samuel L. Jackson, limped dumbly around his master's plantation, kowtowing to every absurd demand with an acerbic and foulmouthed loyalty. But for whatever reason, the dynamite in the slave cage was a bridge too far for me. What the fuck is he laughing at? I thought, and just like that, the theater went from a place of communal revelry to a battleground.

Finally saw it the other night and I enjoyed the movie. Had to leave early and didn't get to see the last 10 min of the movie though. The scene where they played the Tupac song was kind of odd to me, it seemed like it didnt fit with the scene but overall all the actors played their characters very well.
