I just saw this film yesterday. Absolutely awesome. I just love Tarantino's style. The soundtrack was awesome and featured lots of different types of music from different time periods. Christoph Waltz (the bounty hunter guy) is a phenomenal actor, and it was much easier to like him in this movie because he was not a ruthless Nazi (like in Inglourious Basterds). I would definitely say it was my favorite movie of 2012.
I just saw this movie last night, and I thought it was phenomenal. Great performances all around, especially by Jamie Foxx, Samuel L., and Leo DiCaprio. Fantastic writing. If you like Tarantino movies, you'll love it. If you don't, well, you'll probably love it anyway, unless you have some aversion to lots and lots of blood. I've talked to some people who felt uncomfortable during the movie due to the subject matter or the frequent use of the n-word. I saw it in an audience that was about 50/50 white and black, and I (as a white person) didn't feel uncomfortable with the word or the humor at all, save for one scene about halfway through the movie where everyone felt uncomfortable.
For the sake of those who haven't seen it we should avoid spoilers, but which scene are you referring to? I can't remember feeling uncomfortable at all...
I saw it on Christmas day, and I thought is was superb. I would warn anyone who prefers to know as little as possible before seeing a film to not read this article. Many details about the plot are given away, but no major spoilers are revealed.
Absolutely FANTASTIC film. It's not Tarantino's best, but it's definitely a cut above most movies. The performances were absolutely stunning, especially Samuel L. Jackson's. I was a huge fan of DiCaprio's, Foxx's, and Watlz's performances as well, but there was just something special about the way Jackson played his character. Great plot, great direction, and great acting combine to form an amazing movie. A distinctly Tarantino movie.
