I thought DU was good, but it was 45 minutes over-long which most often kills an otherwise good movie for me. Even though Menke passed away (she was Tarantino's long-time editor) that doesn't mean they shouldn't care about the pacing of the film. I think everything after the house was pointless that didn't bring much new to the characters or the story. It just felt that Tarantino's like a little kid who wants to put everything between the opening and closing credits. I think Waltz played the Landa character again, just this time he was a good guy. This similarity between Schultz and Landa is why I wasn't too happy when he won an Oscar for his role in DJANGO UNCHAINED. The other actors were good, even Jackson even though he went a bit overboard as Stephen.

I'm a huge fan of Tarantino's films (RESERVOIR DOGS is still my favorite) and this wasn't a bad film, absolutely not. It thought it was good. But it would've been great one if it was a 2-hour film.

The overuse of the N-word got quite tiresome after hearing it the first 100 times.

I would agree about after the house. I thought and expected it to end there and was actually disappointed that it didn't (I like slightly unclear endings). Yeah the N word is correct for time (although still widely used amongst some groups today).

Well...now then...I've just watched Inglourious Basterds and I really cannot see any resemblance between the role Christopher Waltz plays in Django and that of Hans Landa in this film and I tried really, really hard to do so. I thought the characters and their motivations were opposites of each other, if anything.
