Django is Loads of fun

In a way Django Unchained is the unofficial sequel to Inglorious Bastards. Many of the same themes are present. Tarantino takes us to a time were a single group is constantly being wronged (in Django it is the blacks and in Inglorious Bastards it is the Jews) then turns the tables on the people who are persecuting them.
Tarantino has not made a great movie since Reservoir Dogs. Since the new millennium started he seems to only make over the top parodies of himself, trying a new genre every time. He just does not seem to be pushing the boundaries cinematically anymore. He only pushes the boundaries were good taste is concerned.
That said I found Django to be incredibly entertaining, and even laugh out loud funny in places. I’d say it is a must see for anyone who is a Tarantino fan or a western fan. Really anyone who is looking for a movie to see over the weekend will enjoy it. Just be warned; the language is quite vulgar; leave your kids at home.
