The Hateful Eight

A really slow pacing movie, but I really enjoyed it.

The Hateful Eight arguably has the best plot of any Quentin Tarantino film so far it's like Shakespeare with a star studded cast. Walton Goggins is such an amazing actor and is extraordinary in this film. The film is almost a late (of his soon to be 10 film career) send off for Tarantino as it's very Reservoir Dogs as it shares similar moments and themes and is filled with blood, turns and of course extremely funny moments. This film is very engaging and enjoyable and now I'm unfortunately on my last Quentin Tarantino film and that's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood which I'm quite frankly excited for but also a tad bit ashamed that I've completed all of his films for the first time and that's a thing I won't be able to experience ever again but fortunately I can rewatch them forever, just like this absolutely stunning film. (Also it's still Alfie just changed my profile picture)

It is truly difficult to succeed in making a film almost solely on great dialogue. Quinten does that with his eighth film. Its a masterclass.

Whilst obviously not Tarantino's best work, it's definitely a really fun movie. It is undoubtably one of those movies where people won't agree on wether it's good or not, so I'd advise you not to listen to the bad reviews : go watch it, and make your own opinion, it's worth your time.

A fairly entertaining "whodunnit" western noir. The cast is very talented and give it their all with their charisma and entertaining dialogue, despite the thinly stretched plot. Samuel Jackson is especially great as the lead with the most common sense and the closest thing to a moral center despite his own heinous actions. It's a movie about 8 awful people forced to endure cabin fever together while piecing together a conspiracy before the trap unfolds. The movie's pacing is a bit slow since much of the movie feels rather uneventful and low stakes. But it's made up for with entertaining character bits and some decent twists & shoot outs in the second half. It's far from Tarantino's best, but it's still a good movie and worth a watch if you have the patience for the long run-time.

Sin duda una película atrapante. Me gustó el giro que le dió a los demás personajes y el estilo en la que cuenta la historia. Ahi nadie es bueno ni malo. Denle una oportunidad.

I wonder if after growing up watching the godfather and the dear hunter and 2001 and apocalypse now and chinatown and taxi driver if I may be the only person to have actually seen a good movie. Because this is not good but it still gets positive reviews. I do worry that the standards of movies has sunk so low we may not actually see a great movie again. It's just pathetic.

A Western Classic Tarintino Style. This is masterfully edited and combines the western with a Whodunit murder mystery. The editing evokes Pulp Fiction style out of order nonlinear storytelling just not as much as that. The secret here also is despite having 8-12 characters at any given time it always keeps them together and never feels jumpy at all because of it. Incredibly focused and this is how you do a big amount of characters with depth to all of them. Everything else is really good. Tarintino's direction is exceptional as always with first rate camerawork and framing. The setting is super memorable and most of the characters are really interesting and fun. Easily the best part is just watching these gonoz like larger than life personalities clash and you can feel it building up the whole way. That being said this is really slow the entire way and it never really ramps up despite having lots of gore and action. It's very slow burn even with that. Sometimes it feels like it drags out a bit also particulary in the second half with masterful dialouge which if it was anyone else would never be able to get away with it like Tarintino does. Some characters like Madsen and the other gang members are kind of forgettable and not that particulary fleshed out. So when we do see the villians and even with a good twist it still would have helped to have a better villian or ensemble. Despite that the other characters make up for it, direction, and script is just so good. Anyone who is a fan of the director, any actors in this, Whodunit's or westerns should give this a try.

The first half is my favorite, the whole ride up to the haberdashery was fantastic. Quentin truly knows how to write dialogue.

I really do not understand this website, you've got critics that give this 1 star but then give Kung Fu Panda 4 a 5* rating. Do they not understand this movie? Do they not like complex movies? To me this is one of QT's best movies, you have the in depth discovery of all the characters, the gory action we all love about QT's movies and the suspense of whats going to happen next. The Hateful Eight is a massively underrated from the great direction to the unbelievably fantastic acting.
