This movie goes downhill after Waltz/Leo die


This movie was brilliant for the first 2/3 or so, but after the handshake scene where Schultz & Calvin die, the films brilliance ends. From the absurd massive shootout, to the inane Australian scene, to the cringeworthy death of Lara Lee, it just becomes a farce. It also doesn't help when you kill off the two most interesting characters within seconds of each other. I don't even doubt it was QT's intention to be completely over the top like that, I get it's a spoof on blaxploitation films, but after how great this movie was for so long, I was pretty disappointed with the final 45 minutes

Agree. I don't know about brilliant, but I think the story would have flowed better if Django and his wife escaped the shootout at Candie's mansion.

They killed THE STARS. No wonder there wasn't a Django 2.

i agree the tail-end is not as interesting

I agree. I really enjoy the first hour or so, but man it really drags after that. What might have helped save the second half if they hadn't killed Big Daddy (Don Johnson) and brought him back as an antagonist.
