So far, Django feels traditional. It is preposterous and overblown and gory, but if you settle in for the long haul then there is potential in this stranger who has come to town to raise hell.
-
For diehard aficionados of the genre, Django is a welcome throwback and an unapologetically European addition to the canon. But, for the casual viewer, the action is unlikely to have sufficient impetus.
-
Django will make for a good distraction if you’re into classic Westerns, but if you’re looking for complex morality plays, you’re probably out of luck.
-
Django isn’t terrible, just sluggish and woozy – there are times it feels like trudging ankle-deep through blood-splattered sand.
-
This series is underwhelming and over-complicated. Having an international cast (it is an Italian-French co-production) contributes to the lack of coherence. Or maybe the dislocated, dystopian feel is deliberate. I couldn’t tell you.
-
It looks good but too often doesn't sound it. This isn't just because the script is frequently stilted, though it is, but because the American accents are a weird potpourri.
