Django Unchained
At 45% overall, Django Unchained looks like an underdog — but by the time it reaches a final, it outperforms. Tarantino's most crowd-pleasing film since Pulp Fiction, powered by Christoph Waltz and a revenge premise that practically sells itself. The runtime tests patience, but the payoff earns it back with interest.
Synopsis
With the help of a German bounty hunter, a freed slave sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner.
From 42% to 80% across the bracket. Django Unchained is one of those rare films that improves against harder opposition — the final-round version is a different competitor than the one that started.
At 48%, the matchup with Kill Bill: Vol. 1 is the tightest in Django Unchained's record — close enough to go either way. Against Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, Django Unchained wins 86%. Not much of a contest. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 at 83% is another comfortable win.
Best of Tarantino: Django Unchained clears Inglourious Basterds in the opening round and dispatches Reservoir Dogs at 78% in the final. A convincing start-to-finish run.
In Quentin Tarantino's filmography, Django Unchained ranks #5 of 8. Inglourious Basterds leads at 60%; Kill Bill: Vol. 1 at 35% trails.
