I would be "les miserable" watching Les Miserables.
I will try not to spoil anything, but "Spoiler Alert" just to cover my ass.
My thoughts on Django Unchained:
1. All the normal gruesome blood one might expect from Quentin Terantino, but most was not to the point that you cringe too much.
2. I wasn't thrilled about seeing Jamie Foxx's family jewels.
3. James Remar ("Harry" from Dexter) plays TWO different characters with speaking roles in the movie, and I noticed it was him immediately both times. Thought that was weird to have a single actor play two characters that are focal enough to get noticed in the movie.
4. At times, it almost flirted with being a comedy. One scene borders on something you might watch in a Monte Python movie (the KKK scene).
5. DiCaprio's teeth are GROSS in the movie.
6. Tarantino, as he has before, shows up in his own movie. He dies rather epically as well.
7. The "N-word" is used more than any other movie I've seen. If you're easily offended by that, don't see it.
8. Waltz, DiCaprio, and Foxx all REALLY showed up well in this movie. Was surprised by Waltz more than the others, mostly because I am not familiar with his body of work beyond this and IB. I expected such solid performances from the other two.
All around, it was VERY entertaining. 3 hours long, though. While I think it was worth the 3 hours, I recommend peeing before you enter the theater.
