Wanted something different and weird. So tired of Willis and Stallone etal. This movie may be a deepest hidden gem out there Enjoy with nature’s herb for the best experience.

A strange combo film, English-language Japanese Western. All the cast is Japanese, but speak English. Nothing like the violence in the spaghetti westerns, but plenty of action.

It's a strange choice and a bit jarring to have the characters speak engrish, but I kind of get the creative choice to do it. Regardless, this is one of the best entries in the long line of Django films. It's a self-referential, super stylistic, fun meeting of East vs West. All the homages get me giddy as a schoolboy. After the original this is my go-to.

Difficultly hearing the voices of the characters with the heavy accents but it really doesn't matter as this is a visually stunning film.

Takashi Miike's mix of gore and quirky humor was appreciated in Ichi the Killer, but comes off as a miscalculation here. He is making a tribute/parody to spaghetti westerns, particularly Django/A Fistful of Dollars, with a lot of references and in-jokes to fans of the genre, but it comes off as self-gratifying and excessive, and seems more like an exercise than a film for general audiences. Miike had something of a Tarantino flair, and Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo in this movie. Tarantino's Django would be a much better film, and more fitting send-up of the Italian predecessors. There are too many characters in Sukiyaki Western Django for any one to shine (although, Masanobu Ando and Kaori Momoi had their moments). For me, the main reason this film didn't work is the strange decision to have all the Japanese actors stumble over English dialogue. This, along with the humor that seems to be trying too hard, makes Django hard to get invested in and to sit through its 98-minute runtime.

Its a dumb yet really enjoyable guilty pleasure film. Its ridiculous but quite inventive in its action and cinematography.

Insanity, completely bonkers, and full of pulpy goodness

Its so weird and wonderful. An asian spaghetti western that draws from Tarantino in more than one way :)

Beautiful cinematography. That's all.

Miike Takashi takes on the spaghetti western and wins with this visually stunning and thoroughly enjoyable romp.

Spaghetti western made with all the new tricks of CGI. Kill Bill meets Oldboy in the the Nippon mountains. Sounds like a really bad story pitch; but it's great fun - really!

SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO is odd, visual, insane, and comedic. The film seems to be centered in a genre that was just slightly off, many couldn't get behind it. But the stilted story telling the sublime seriousness of everyone, except for a few characters, made it so much better. It's an odd spaghetti western and I loved it.

this film is widely misunderstood i guess it just wasn't generic enough for the mainstream media perhaps if tom cruise brought some of his famous bad acting to the table this movie would appeal to the dull society we live in

Love the director, hated the overdone, forced film. Terrible.

A refreshing if lacking adventurous Japanese western. Mindblowingly experimental, Sukiyaki succeeds by showing genuine flashes of cinematic genius within it's woefully unnecessary runtime. Essentially this is a film with 4 or 5 beautifully correographed wonderfully camp action scenes wasted in 2 hours of needless expositionary dialogue that only serves to bore. A wasted opportunity.

affection tribute to spaghetti westerns form Takashi Miike. Typically bonkers and great fun

So, here's the thing about this movie: Its fun as hell. In no way the best movie ever and - if you see the US version - shorter than the real version. But that doesn't matter. Its fun as hell. Good action, interesting (and simple) story, and QT doesn't ruin it like I'd thought he would (don't get me wrong, I love his movies, but Tarantino seems like too much of a personality to really work in most films). Worth a viewing, for sure.

Bathed in luminous symbolism and bloody ultraviolence, Takashi Miike's genre-splicing crossover is one hell of a ride, albeit a bizarre one. The film maintains a transfixing balance of suspense, storytelling and superb characterisation, and Miike's interweaving of legend, literature and homage is nerdgasmic for film buffs and those in the know. Obscure, original and utterly overwhelming.

It is an immensely entertaining spaghetti Western/exploitation/samurai flick that is equal parts excessive parody and stylistically badass. And Quentin Tarantino hams it up big time in front of the camera, as do the rest of the cast.

Enjoyed the gore and blood mixed with the samurai and western
