first, Q. Tarantino should not act....or try to act. Second, pick up the pace a little. Third, if you're going to advertise as a sword/gun flick, have enough decency to have a lot of sword/gun fights....... Full review
A zany western parody film that somewhat works

In order to truly appreciate this film one has to know two things: The first: Director Takeshi Miike is one of the wackiest directors out there today. and the second: This is meant to be FUNNY not serious. Sukiyaki Western Django... Full review

I thought this movie was coming out in theatres but guess not. It went straight to DVD. I thought the movie was just ok. It had some good western shoot out, but I also believe that it being dubbed gave the... Full review

The movie doesn't make any sense. Story is mediocre at best. Another straight to DVD movie that is not worth even renting.... Full review
Although it has the deceptive appearance of one and it has been championed as such by many reviewers, Sukiyaki is not a spaghetti western love letter, at least not in the same league with a clear-cut homage like Alex De La... Full review

A very interesting film yet leaves many questions unanswered. For example, what is really the cowboy's motivation? Why was he there? Where was he from? Why sabotage the Whites when he joined them? Why help the kid now? Many questions really... Full review
I'm not entirely sure I understood the plot of Sukiyaki Western Django, mainly because I couldn't understand the dialogue very well, but I still can say it's unlike anything I have ever seen. In a time when ridiculously unoriginal films are... Full review

I was so looking forward to seeing this movie and was ultimately very disappointed! The decision to film this movie with Japanese actors speaking English was a poor one. Their English was so bad, complete with not being able to pronounce... Full review
When one thinks of the cowboy Western names like John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, Howard Hawks and John Huston might come to mind but Japanese new wave and cult director Miike Takashi would probably be the last person you would think of... Full review

Great practical and CGI effects, a lot of laughs, and some fantastic action setpieces make this one a winner. Stay tuned for the first issue of the B-Movie Film Vault Genre Watch gang, and be prepared for far more impressive DVD and Blu-Ray releases this holiday season. ... Full Review

The conniving and violent game play is spotted with vibrantly colorful action scenes that pop out with well chosen stylish camera angles and carefully chosen transformations to slow motion. It could have been comical in the extreme if not due to the professionalism of the talented cast. ... Full Review

he's a terrible actor -....While the film felt rushed (or ignored) in certain areas (most notably in the acting), Miike excels to the top of his game in others (the eye candy).....He kick starts the movie in the 'stage play' scene....Between Miike's heavy dialogue, there are plenty of gunfights, explosions and memorable moments..... ...

The plot is borderline irrelevant....The English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track is great....One of Japan's most controversial filmmakers, Takashi Miike, gets his latest bloody, insane extravaganza 'Sukiyaki Western Django' released on Blu-Ray thanks to First Look....This pic may split Miike fans down the middle as it abandons some of what makes Miike's most effective films work -....There's lots of over-the-top choreography, crazy action and cartoonish histrionics and some of this stuff hits and most misses..... ...
