I loved the movie, found it both hilarious and disturbing in roughly equal measures, and enjoyed the towering vengeance heaped upon the many, many wicked people inhabiting the film immensely. Also, it has an awesome soundtrack, which I recommend nearly as much as the movie itself. Bring a strong stomach though, Tarantino was not at all interested in whitewashing slavery, and it's depicted in all of it's brutality here, which can be a bit hard to watch.

Yep, saw it in theaters for my birthday on the 27th! Agreed. It was fantastically enjoyable with some truly incredible performances by Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo DiCaprio, among others. Samuel L. Jackson was pretty outstanding as well. The soundtrack made the entire theater laugh out loud a few times :) I definitely appreciate Tarantino's fearlessness. I'd actually just watched Dredd a few days before this so, despite the excessive and outlandish gore, it never really managed to penetrate the part of my brain that takes serious note of it. Anyway, probably one of my favorite movies of the last several years; up there with Black Swan.

I saw it last weekend with my husband. It was a really really good movie. I often find gorey movies hard to watch (I'm finding this occurring less and less now though) but didn't find the gore too bothersome this time. Well, except for in the beginning.
