This movie is at the same time crazy and serious. Serious since it is telling the story of a freed slave trying to find back his wife, crazy because of the absurd dialogues and overflowing blood surrounding the quest. Of course, this is Tarantino's cinema, you gotta like it (Although he made my favorite movie "Jackie Brown" and changed history to kill Hitler in "Inglorious Basterds"). Still, I think it can only hold on as long as the humor is good, and from the moment the German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) dies, everything becomes too long, too bloody, not funny, perhaps because Django (Jamie Foxx) after all is not the one who makes the movie. Anyway, the beginning is witty, shocking (not because of the blood), funny, and only for that, and for Waltz's performance, I would recommend it.
