Negative Positive
Title: Heard it was one of the best
Review: I'd recently read on the EMPIRE film magazine web site that it rated Django as #2 in the best spaghetti westerns. I have to disagree with that. I wouldn't even have it in my top 20. The dubbing is outright awful, like they didn't even try to get some semblance of lip syncronization. The dialogue god-awful. Just listen to when Django is explaining to the prostitute who'd fallen in love with him why it wouldn't work. I think maybe George Lucas must have been in on the dialogue.There are some good scenes, however. The beginning where Django is on foot, pulling a coffin behind him was an image I'll long remember. Also when he guns down five bad guys in the saloon-very slick. All in all though, it just didn't work for me, and could only recommend it to someone interested in increasing their knowledge of the Italian western genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
