Django Unchained is a good movie over all. Compared to Quentin Tarantino‘s other movies however, it is average. It is a very violent movie in the action parts. It also has many scenes that go on and on with lots of dialog (something Tarantino is known for). Christoph Waltz is amazing in the film and he makes the movie just like he did in Inglourious Basterds.
Django Unchained tells the story of a slave called Django who is recruited by a German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz. The bounty hunter needs Django because he knows what his next bounty looks like. Over the course of searching for his bounty they become partners and Dr. Schultz assist Django in the rescue attempt of his wife, who is still a slave, from a Mississippi plantation.
The film gets slow in the middle part of the movie. I never lost my interest in the story, but it could have been done quicker. There are parts that are funny, mostly because of Christoph Waltz.
One thing to give you a heads up on is the language in the movie. It is a movie about slavery so there is a lot of mean things said about and to the slaves that many people could call offensive if said in 2013. I would assume that the language is historically accurate, but I am not sure if any other part of the plot is.
