Sukiyaki Western Django

Ultimately not quite as clever as it thinks it is. Even the action sequences are more about Foley than choreography, and so the film largely rests on the oddity of its mix of styles and its parade of genre in-jokes

As much of a hoot as the movie is, it feels like just an exercise well before it ends.

Sukiyaki Western Django is Takashi Miike's frantic swirl of a spaghetti western, marrying eastern and western elements in what could be taken as either homage or parody -- or both.

Cult director Takashi Miike's English-language Sukiyaki Western Django has style to burn but self-destructs like a wildfire as it attempts to spoof spaghetti westerns -- a passé endeavor -- and Sergio Corbucci's Django in particular.

The flick's a lot of sound and fury and dynamite that signifies nothing while paying tribute to everything

The lurid sets and savage and startling action will undoubtedly have cult appeal as the conventions of physics, history and genre are all ignored in this overblown fever dream.

The gimmicky gore fest quickly fell out of favor with me.

Miike's 'wild east' take on the western genre is a colourfully violent stand-off of pastiche, politics and punk.

Sukiyaki Western Django is a singular work of art that both celebrates those disjointed parts and synthesizes them into a strangely cohesive %u2013 and more amazingly, unique whole.

Although something of a confusing and befuddling mess, Miike's foray into the Western genre, Sukiyaki Western Django is another showcase for his playful and often gory style.

...everything that was supposed to enliven the picture perfect images just seemed to drag them down with lame dialogue and clichéd action.
