We're mere days away from the release of 'Django Unchained' on December 25, so we're surprised there's a new trailer for the film. Then again, so many trailers released now aren't intended to play before movies, but get online audiences interested and stoked for the film.

We gave it a seven out of ten, while just as many people are calling it one of the best films of the year, and others are calling it Tarantino's worst film ever.

It's hard to know what to make of the divisive reviews, but it's also worth keeping in mind that when 'Jackie Brown' was released in 1997, it received a mixed reaction as QT's follow up to 'Pulp Fiction.'
