Django Defies Sartana Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Wizard-8 If you are familiar with the spaghetti western genre, you have probably correctly guessed that "Django Defies Sartana" was a cash-in, naming its protagonists after the heroes of past popular spaghetti westerns. Actually, the Sartana character in this movie does have some resemblance to the original Sartana character, though the Django character does not (no machine gun, among other things.) But I didn't care if the movie was a rip-off or not, I just wanted it to be entertaining. The movie does get to a slow start, with the plot not starting until a quarter of the running time has passed. But when the plot kicks in, the movie does manage to keep some interest in the viewer, with some action and various plot twists. I'm not saying this is a GREAT spaghetti western, but fans of the genre will probably find it decent enough. And it's the closest we'll ever get to uniting Django and Sartana in the same film!
facundo_kuka96 A strange euro-western (a non-Ennio Morricone Spaghetti likes to say), but very well directed, with a good deal. Sure, this film has a very low budget and it shows in many scenes.IMPORTANT! If you like Django and Sartanen not see this film, none of the two characters bear some resemblance to the originals by Sergio Corbucci and the real creator of Sartana, which has never remember his name.Inside everything is normal, but it is rare for anyone you like.Well, this criticism is never going to end.But if you want to enjoy a good Italian westerns, watch this film.
junk-monkey First up I'm no great connoisseur of Spaghetti westerns, preferring instead the unintentional hilarity and weirdness of Italian Science Fiction and Horror movies but, from time to time, I settle back to wallow in the operatic lunacy that a good spaghetti western has to offer.This is not a good Spaghetti western. A good spaghetti western is weird, hard, brutal and at the same time stylishly, overblown and decadent - in a word 'operatic'. This is not an operatic movie. It is choppy and incoherent. All the ingredients are there but so badly mixed, and slopped about with little regard to any continuity (never a strong point in Italian cinema to start with) it is hard to understand what is going on at times. How for instance did the two Mexican(ish) guys fighting with knives in the final sequence get from the top of the building to the grassy ground outside? And it was only after the movie had finished that I realised that our bad girl was supposed to have been trampled by the horses in the stables. I had no idea what was going on. She just falls over and screams and thrashes about for no apparent reason - watch out for good girl's "acting" when she sees the body. It is a classic piece of "hold the side of your head and scream" direction. I suspect they glued headphones onto her under all that hair and played crap music at her to get her to hold her head like that.Most of the screen time seems to consist of shots of utmost pointlessness that are pale copies of people like Sergio Leone. When Leone held a shot forever you watched it. It was important. It heightened the action. Increased the tension. whatever the situation, it did it's job. It was significant. In this movie it is easy to get the impression that the sustained shots are there merely to pad out the movie to an acceptable length.
wdb-3 I am a big fan of westerns, especially spaghetti, some are above average and i think this is one of them. It has a good, well thought out story and there is plenty of action and gun-play, ( fist fights and shoot outs ) to keep your attention. I also think the actors playing Django ( Tony Kendall ) and Sartana (George Ardisson ) are very good. The actual plot keeps you hooked and there are also a few surprises along the way. One thing i really liked was the rousing music score and the title song. There are of course many Django and Sartana movies some very good, some not so good, i have seen most of them and i think that, this is, one of the better one's and would recommend that if you get the chance,catch it.
