By no means a masterpiece, but this (very) loose spaghetti western take on Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars is well worth checking out. There is a truly impressive and implausible amount of slaughter on show; I'm not sure Django wastes a bullet. Nero has a bit of charm, which goes some way to explaining his longevity. Probably best to go for the subtitled version, as the dubbing is bad even for this genre. Grittily entertaining.

Stylish, brutal, excessive, and a little bit silly. Django is a cool character, and Franco Nero is magnetic, but his motivations are vague. But who needs character development when you've got a body count this high?

A completely over-the-top maelstrom of nihilistic western violence. This is the movie that made Franco Nero a star and spawned dozens of unofficial "sequels".

Django has going for it a delicious cinematography that rivals Leone's, and a brief but memorable final showdown. But whereas Leone's westerns are just convincing enough to allow a minimal suspension of disbelief, Django has just a tad too many plot-holes, irrational behavior, senseless killings and horribly written female roles, for that to be the case. Whereas some later Corbucci westerns have elevated the genre to greatness, Django mostly wallows in averageness.

It was fun to watch Django being badass on the whole town and Nero played him with some depth. The theme song reminded me of car ads. The coffin was a nice angle. Fav scene: mowing down waves of enemies with his minigun like a video game.

It would seem that in Spaghetti westerns there's Sergio Leone, there's Terrence Hill, and there's the best of the rest. This is among the final category. "Django" isn't anything special, even among westerns in general, but it is still solid and entertaining, but let's face it, the bulk of Italian genre films in the era didn't aspire to be anything more.

Corbucci can't repeat the beauty of his opening and final shots through the whole film, but Django is undeniably a fun, amusing ride about a loner on the run, carrying a coffin with his soul inside, an enemy of both American and Mexican bad guys, and an outsider that thinks that gold is the final ticket to peace -- but, well, sure as hell it is not. Even with his hands crushed, he shoots his way to freedom. Again: this closing scene is just mesmerizing.

As in all my favorite westerns, you can't tell where the mud begins and the shit ends - and along those "lines", the idealism of the hero may not be all it's cracked up to be. While the latter half loses any kind of subtext the first half flirts with, this film's clear joy reveling in sometimes silly, often brutal genre conventions more than makes up for its faults.

Once watched this some years ago, I didn't gave it the deserved attention then. Now, re-watching it , I think this is not only Corbucci's best movie, but also one of the greatest spaghetti western's ever done! Oh, by way, it 'borrowed' some elements from Yojimbo (and A Fistfull of Dollars, of course).

Corbucci's second best Spaghetti Western (the first being, of course, THE GREAT SILENCE.) Franco Nero is an incredible actor, and the main theme by Luis Enriquez Bacalov is absolutely unforgettable. This film is the equal of any of Leone's westerns, and is well worth seeking out. One suggestion: if you buy the Blue Underground DVD (as I did), try watching it in Italian with subtitles. The dialogue is better, adding to the general brilliance of the film.

A classic spaghetti Western. Aside from a fantastic closing shot, the cinematography is simply alright - although when the camera is in motion, from pans to zooms to everything between, the camerawork becomes astoundingly exciting. Well edited too - action moves quickly and uses a lot of different angles without being confusing. Paper-thin plot but the film really gets to the nihilistic core of Western movies - there are no people who are good, just those who are good at deceit and killing.

Good beginning and a good ending, unfortunately the rest of the film makes you truly appreciate what a genius Sergio Leone was with his four westerns. I watched it in its original Italian soundtrack, maybe I should have used the English dubbing. I may have liked it more, because the cheesy dubbing is what makes most spaghetti westerns entertaining.

I'm down with the protagonists name being sung after he drops the final adversary. I'll also tip my hat to a character that leaves the dead in his wake, & for most of the film that was literally represented as a coffin he dragged behind him. This could have ended after the first real stand off and been a complete short film. All we got after that was some attractive shots, mud wrestling, and p.o.v. fist fighting.

A lackluster "classic" that doesn't hold up well at all today. Every moment in this film is used to set up one of the giant violent action setpieces. The story is weak and the character is a two dimensional farce.

Corbucci knows how to shoot douchebags humuliating/torturing/killing innocent people and "warm-hearted" antiheroes. Otherwise, it's somewhat cool, playful, cheesy, but not quite Il grande silenzio (which I like very much, albeit with reserved enthusiasm).

Interesting mostly as a context for much superior Sergio Leone works, as this painfully cliche of a film requires a very peculiar mood from the viewer - a very specific entertainment, preferably preceded by alcohol consumption.

Like a cheap(er) knock-off of Leone, this is a base-line enjoyable spaghetti-style western, though missing the stylistic excesses which mark the best of the genre; while the plotting is reasonably compelling and original, too many of the set pieces feel cribbed from FISTFUL, and while Nero is an effective lead, he seems too influenced by Eastwood to really make this character his own.

The most violent western I've seen from this period & some of the worst dubbing I've come across. Django's strength though is in the tight plotting, bat-crazy action & how the whole thing is shot (stuff like the use of POV during hand-to-hand combat was just wild). The influence on Tarantino is apparent. I wonder if his sole goal was to up this on splatter brutality... in which case he forgot to take his finger off the trigger.

With a very straightforward story, Django still surpasses the expectations of what you might have traditionally found in a western at the time. It was touted as being overly violent, even as much as to get immediately banned in the UK when at the time the censorship over 'video nasties' was blooming. The main character is not truly a hero as much as he's a reflection of the silent cynicism of the man who is neither good nor bad. A truly epic watch. And an epic theme song.

Corbucci wanted to beat Leone at the boxoffice by having a higher kill count, and he clearly didn't deviate from that idea when making this. I didn't keep count, but this has to have one the highest body count of any Westerns. Of course the body count never was what made the Leone Westerns successful. What did was the directing. And what Django makes one of the best non-Leone spaghetti-westerns is also the strong directing by Corbucci. The overal present nihilisme also lifts it up from it peers.

Despite an uninteresting second act and paper thin characters with little to no motivation, 'Django' is a decent watch for anyone interested in the spaghetti western genre. Nero is great as the titular character, the final showdown is brief but memorable, and, as many people here have mentioned, the final shot is fantastic. 'Amen!'

This movie definitely doesn't waste your time. If you're just coming in from Leone's Dollars trilogy, you might expect conflict to be delayed until some hype has built up between Django and the villains... Not for him to shoot a bunch of them up on his first day in town. It's easy to see why this movie spawned about a million ripoffs by other directors.

Really dirty (literally too) spagetti western. It has really cool main character (dude is dragging a coffin around, for fuck sake!), but the story and most characters are underwritten. Some scenes are really well composed, and while it's weird to see western in full-screen, cinematography is one of the strongest aspects of Django. Soundtrack is somewhat annoying; where's Morricone?

It's clear that directors like Rodriguez and Tarantino were directly influenced by this movie, but it really hasn't aged well. The over-the-top violence is laughably bad; so, it's worth watching with some friends to laugh at, but don't expect a great Western here.

Can't say that I was too impressed with it. The story was pretty standard other than Django dragging a coffin around wherever he went. The set design reminded me of any 1950s western with painted backdrops and a saloon that John Wayne could have been filmed in. And the acting was rather wooden and not dynamic. I judge it harshly perhaps, and I might appreciate it more after another viewing
