Not about what you wrote, not gonna read that before I watched Django, even though I highly doubt he is racist, but about the general consensus saying he is overrated? Um, no.

It's okay to say his stuff is not your cup of tea but to say he isn't influential, fresh, original and knows his bloody job is simply wrong. He's been delivering some of the best movies of the respective years they came out since the early 90s. I enjoyed the shit out of each and every one of them for all kinds of different reasons, because a few of his trademarks aside they are actually not that much alike. And the violence complaint (so it's cool when Resident Evil films do it?) doesn't hold much merit either, at least not for each one of them. The man has yet to disappoint me, so I gladly put him in the top 5 directors still working.
