What kind of watch this is
Django Unchained is a 2012 drama and western that runs 165 minutes, which is long enough to make you question your life choices by the midpoint. It belongs to anyone who wants a story where the rules of physics and etiquette are bent until they snap. The genre label is just a suggestion.
What the critics said
Critics generally agreed on the quality, though perhaps not the method. Rotten Tomatoes reports an 87% approval rating as of November 2022, based on 296 reviews. Metacritic assigns a weighted average of 81 out of 100, which it classifies as universal acclaim. The consensus calls it "bold, bloody, and stylistically daring." That is a compliment with a warning label. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it an A−. It is a film that trusts its audience to keep up, and most of them did.
How it did with audiences
The budget sat at $100 million. The worldwide take hit $425 million, or $426 million depending on who is doing the counting. That is a solid return, though the notes mention a total of $449.8 million, which complicates the arithmetic. Audiences liked it. IMDb users give it an 8.5/10 as of February 2026. TMDB users rate it 8.2.
What came next for the cast
Leonardo DiCaprio moved from Inception to The Wolf of Wall Street, then The Revenant. Christoph Waltz shifted from Inglourious Basterds to Spectre. Jamie Foxx went from Collateral to Spider-Man: No Way Home. Kerry Washington followed Fantastic Four with The Six Triple Eight. The credits list what came after, not why.
