Diagonaldi Very well executed
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
dellamorte-44869 Well made film just a little derivative it's basically; a reservoir dogs style tale of paranoia, set in an old west back drop shot like a stage play
julsharp Script: ok but needed serious editing Scenery: fabulous Set: brilliant Acting: outstanding Gratuitous violence: abundant Length of movie: a third as long as it needed to be Suspense: not present Tension: present but not often Sympathy for characters: none Ending: satisfactory Verdict: watch it and make up your own mind
mtrburrows Before seeing the hateful eight, if you were to offer me a Tarantino movie, set in western times about a group of characters trapped inside a cabin and having to bounce off each other with signature Tarantino dialogue and writing, I would have bitten your hand off! Unfortunately, the Hateful Eight doesn't get good until the second half of the movie, where Samuel L Jackson delivers an iconic, hilarious monologue that rivals the likes of Jules' "vengeance" speech in pulp fiction. After this point, the Tarantino-isms truly kick into gear, and the suspense, the wit, the gore, and the characters truly shining and being some of Tarantino's best work, with Warren and Mannix being the stand-outs. However, what makes this film so frustrating is the incredibly tiresome, boring, and irrelevant first half, which definitely should have been cut down, not only to make the film better over all, but to increase the rewatch value. Out of all the Tarantino movies I've seen so far, I feel I am least likely to revisit this one, with its nearly 3 hour run time and monotonous first half, which feels like another writer trying to imitate Tarantino's style, rather than an actual Tarantino movie. If you were to take one thing from this review, I would say completely skip the first hour and 20 minutes or so to where Samuel L Jackson delivers a speech about his "big black pecker" and watch the chaos from there! But because of that first half, I feel the Hateful Eight is one of Tarantino's weaker projects, or at the very least the most frustrating.
masonkohl I've always been a big fan of Quentin Tarantino's style of filmmaking; ever since his debut, he has proven himself a force to be reckoned with when it comes to writing dialogue and creating memorable scenes. In recent years Tarantino has released films such as Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds; now even though I've very much enjoyed watching through the both of these over the years, I never felt as though Tarantino was reaching his peak. Both films would start to drag along at certain points and they wouldn't often reach the godly highs Tarantino is known for... so when I saw The Hateful Eight, I was pleasantly surprised to see how excellent it was. In the beginning, the movie gives us a taste of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack, and it sets the mood wonderfully right off the bat; it makes you, as an audience member, feel as though there're sinister events about to occur. Tarantino expertly creates a large amount of tension between characters without even showing a drop of blood for a good portion of the film. Every actor in the film has their shining moment, but both Sam' Jackson and Walton Goggins steal the show in my opinion, and I was honestly having a blast watching the both of these guys; Samuel's got some pretty good quotables. The film's cinematography was mostly well done; there are many beautiful shots of the snowy landscape that could honestly be your new desktop wallpaper, but when our characters find themselves in the cabin the film's shots become less interesting. Now, there's one thing that could be a deal breaker for an audience member when watching this film, and that's the length; personally, it's something that doesn't bother me, but if you're one to be annoyed by a film that takes it slow at times, then you should probably avoid this one. Overall, I thought The Hateful Eight was an amazing experience from start to finish; it isn't quite at the same level as Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, but it's still one of Tarantino's best films to date.
