The Hateful Eight 2015

So I went to see this in the 70mm tour they're doing. I'm glad I did, it was a cool experience. I'm not sure if they'll have the opening overture and intermission in the standard release or not, but it really felt like I was going to a classic film viewing in the 50's or something.

Now, onto the film. It is really hard for me not to enjoy dialogue in Tarantino films. I love the opening talks back and forth as three of the eight are driving up to the cabin. And then you get to the cabin and get to hear a lot of great dialogue from the rest of the eight. It is all great, and perfectly sets you up for violence later on.

I enjoy just about everything in this movie. Every actor is turning in a great performance, but I specifically loved Samuel L Jackson and Walton Goggins. Both went from very good at the start, to extremely entertaining by the third act (unlike the sudden voiceover).

If you like Tarantino films or westerns at all, you should certainly check this one out.

i feel like they could have easily shaved an hour of useless exposition and unimpressive scenery shots off this. sure tarantino loves to talk but there were a number of scenes that felt completely pointless, especially the one where it jumps back to the beginning of the day

Almost one location, 3 hours and not a single boring scene.

If you are a fan of Tarantino then you have to watch this movie, adding his usual flavor with a mix of Western flavor and unsurpassed amount of bloodshed.

Slight confusion but the it comes all together and the dialogue just brings out the talent of these fantastic actors.

It's a bit slow paced but no less entertaining.

Quentin Tarantino is such a underrated director......Walton Goggins, i'm beginning to like him more more in his films....underrated actor he is

Brilliant masterpiece! Enjoyed every second of it. Must be watched on biggest screen with best sound available.

The Hateful Eight

A western "Who Done It?", where each character is equally untrustworthy.
The tension oozes with the great acting and claustrophobic setting.
The camera work was fantastic.
I felt that the narration felt unnecessary.

8.5/10

Well made. I liked the pacing. Very dialogue heavy, to a fault. This is a classic example of "tell, don't show". Tarantino is a crafty filmmaker even when he's making not very good films, and this is a case of that.

For what it's worth this is probably my favorite Tarantino flick since Jackie Brown. It falls into a lot of the same trappings of modern Tarantino films. To much reliance on not great dialogue. Cringeworthy humor. Trying too hard to be cool. But there's enough of a spark here that I sat tight through the whole 3 hours.

The Great Silence, which this movie was clearly heavily inspired by, is one of my favorite films of all time, and I really do think this picture did that one justice by expending on some of its core themes. Now that's damn high praise coming from me. Even if there's not a whole lot else I can compliment this film on, I can at least say that.

I haven't noticed it last time, but "The Hateful Eight" has many elements in common with "Reservoir Dogs". It's just twice as long, half as compelling. The individual scenes work; they are just buried underneath layers of self-indulgence and sketchy dialogues. No complaints about the photography, direction, and cast, except Tim Roth who kind of looked and sounded like a second-class Christoph Waltz.

I love the dialog of this movie, and being that it's basically a one location scene film.. the dialog has to triumph

I got to watch this on the final day of the road show in the most spectacular cinema I have ever seen. One of my absolute best ever movie-going experiences. The film itself was excellent, I didn't have high expectations given the premise and cast, but it really shows you never to underestimate Tarantino. The 3 hours went by in no time and I felt like not one bit of the film needed trimming. Is it my favorite Tarantino flick? Time will tell, he has been consistently putting out 10/10s for me since the early 00s - and the beautiful 70mm transfer was fantastic for the cinematography.

Usually I'm a fan of Tarantino style dialogue, but in this movie it was mostly talk and not much else. The movie seemed to drag on and on with little to no action in between all the yapping.

I have a different view point on this

The Pace was SO Slow

I love the Acting and Dialogue from each Character.. The Story was Ok wasn't satisfied with the ending but it was still a good watch no doubt

110 minutes would be more than enough. I don't understand so high ratings. The movie is not special in any way...OK, Tarantino made it but that's not a guarantee of success.

Very long slow and goofy.

Wow, best Tarantino movie in terms of dialog. I loved the part where they showed how the gang set up the ambush at Minnie's Haberdashery (I love this word).

You know a good film when the minutes and hours fly by and you have barely looked at the clock. This is nearly three hours long but it doesn't feel like it. Not a second is wasted by Tarantino. A first rate group of actors deliver Tarantino's dialogue. Despite being set in (mostly) one place I never got bored. After a talky (but never dull) hour and a half the plot moves forward several notches and there is surprise after surprise. These truly are horrible and hateful people but you will enjoy their company.

I didn't expect it to like it as i hate very long movies but i find it not boring and nicely paced for a three hour movie. I didn't like the splatter of blood and other organs. I find it not suitable for the film

loading replies

Although it's a 3h movie, I was not bored for a single minute.

It's basically just dialog with a little bit of gun slinging mixed in. But it's so well done that it keeps you entertained the whole time.

loading replies

Not sure why people didn't like it much. But other being long it does bring up each character to its form and end makes it worth knowing all. All in all i found it good surely not a bore or something

If Agatha Christie and Wes Craven had a one night stand in the old west, the baby would be The Hateful Eight. It's the perfect horror/whodunit/western. This film is a masterclass in dialog, character development, and storytelling. Absolutely superb!

The movies is at least a 6 but i give a 7 for Jennifer Jason Leigh!

"The Hateful Eight", directed by Quentin Tarantino, is an exciting and action-packed crime film. The film takes place in Los Angeles in the 1960s and the story is about a group of criminal associates who have a plan to rob a restaurant.

One of the main strengths of the film is the fast-paced and creative screenplay signed by Tarantino. He has been able to create interesting and charismatic characters and increase the tension in the scenes by using eloquent and attractive dialogues. Also, action and drama are well balanced in the film and it shows the skill of the director in combining these two elements.

Part of the criticism they bring to the film is that despite the breadth of the film and its strengths, some scenes have ups and downs in quality and charm and may not attract the audience's attention. In addition, some of the director's choices and the creations of the film may also be against the taste of some viewers and cause criticism.

Another masterpiece by Quentin Tarantino, featuring a stellar cast that delivers exceptional performances. Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson are phenomenal with their dynamic chemistry and intense acting skills. The film's immersive storyline and visuals keep the audience engaged throughout. Tarantino's signature style of storytelling is at its best in The Hateful Eight, making it a must-watch for any fan of the director or Western genre.

Apparently I'm a Tarantino fanboy. While this is not his BEST effort by a long shot I still enjoyed the sharp dialogue, interesting characters, and over the top violence that he gives us.

The Hateful 8 is a long but great movie. It starts off very slow and builds up the characters, the middle built up the tension and trust between characters, and then all of that leads up to the great ending. Each Chapter in the movie had something important but there were a couple of scenes that could have been cut. The Writing is great the whole movie was basically the characters talking to each other. The Character dialogue is great . The cast and the acting is good, in my opinion Samuel L Jackson gives his best performance. It’s directed very well by Quentin Tarantino. The Score is very good it fits the untrustworthy and tense vibe of this movie. The cinematography is great as well like in all the Tarantino movies. The last chapter is thrilling and its end is good. Overall even though it’s a long movie that could have been cut down it is entertaining and another great movie by Tarantino.

(8 out of 10)

“You only need to hang mean bastards, but mean bastards you need to hang.” The Hateful Eight is a suspenseful thriller from writer/director Quentin Tarantino. The story follows a bounty hunter who’s bringing a fugitive in to hang but gets snowed in at a haberdashery with a group of shadowy characters during a storm. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Walton Goggins, the performances are incredibly good. However, the pacing is rather slow and is weighed down by a lot of heavy dialog. Also, the directing exacerbates the problems with a lot of long shots, single takes, and a switch to narration in the second half. Yet despite its problems, The Hateful Eight is a compelling who-done-it mystery that’s full of rich characters.

I watched the Netflix endended version and it really didn't add anything new. The episodes split felt fine but I did binge them all back to back so it was basically the movie straight.

The movie is what you expect from Tarantino, great dialogue, great character, and lots of blood. It feels a little long but entertaining throughout.

At moments It was like Cluedo, Quentin Tarantino style! Surprises, mysteries, a film that makes you not trust anyone, keeps you guessing. I love all the characters, specially Samuel L Jackson's... Great performances from all, loved the plot, great effects and good humour. kept me warm all the way through.. Not as good as his Django, but pretty damn gooood!

Película con muchos altibajos. Como película coral no está conseguida.

While not bad (like "From Dusk till Dawn"), I don't think this is a brilliant movie, either. It is overly brutal and the story is not that intriguing. Granted, it also never gets boring since you cannot anticipate, what Tarantino has up its sleeve next. However, I'm probably not going to watch it again and would advice you to watch Django, Kill Bill or Inglorious Bastards instead if you are in the mood of watching a Tarantino movie.

This is easily Tarantino's finest work. Many baulk at the epic 3 hour run time, but any less than 150min would have been felt too short, this as a double feature length split into chapters felt just right. Unlike Django, the pacing of each scene was like some of Sergio Leone's westerns, the single room cinematography and the nuanced attention to all set details that become essential to the story was reminiscent of Hitchcock, while QT's captivating story felt like a retelling of And Then There Were None blended with elements of (7 Samurai) Magnificent Seven. The performances were generally faultless, though Zoe Bell was gorgeous as Six Horse Judy, I couldn't understand why a young New Zealand girl is in 1 9th century Wyoming?

Why did I even watch this movie? I expect Tarantino movies to be bloody and not focusing too much on a good story, but this movie was just plain boring! Almost 3 hours and it took the storyline almost 2 1/2h to actually get to the interesting (bloody ;P) part. Sometimes the rule of skipping the first third really is right – especially for this movie…

Head in the sand I didn't know this was a Tarantino film until it began. Yes, seriously.

Full of all the hallmarks of his films, so, yes there's blood everywhere! I really enjoyed the movie, who would I trust? Who has a motive for deception? Edge of the seat entertainment, brilliant scenery, massive soundtrack.

I'm just glad I wasn't passing by Minnie's Haberdashery

This movie was a rollercoaster. I really enjoyed the dialogues, but the suddenly narrator kinda ruined for me. I was like "Damn, this is a Tarantino movie?, where's the blood? It's like 10 minutes already", but at the end I was like: "PLEASE MAKE IT STOP" hahaha. Love the cast and every character has something unique. It doesn't feel too long at all. Always entertaining. Recomended, but if you're not into gore, avoid it.

I guess I hade to high hopes for this one. Maybe 70 mm would have helped, not sure though. First half of the movie was quite good unfortunately after the intermission it just went down hill. (personal opinion)

This movie is horrible, just plain trash! The whole context is abusive, mentally and emotionally, for women, and all I can say is Terrentino really dug deep into the abusive male psyche to script this! I wouldn't watch this movie again if you paid me!

Who does not like a dialogue written by Tarantino.
It is not easy to keep me interested for 3 hours and that's the best compliment I can do.

loading replies

It's like Clue meets Reservoir Dogs in a snowy atmosphere. The cast is great and so is the mystery but the 3 hrs and 2 minutes isn't necessary. Since so much could have been cut out.
The problem is that Tarantino's ego is so big that he enjoys hearing his characters talk a lot and I mean a lot and thinks we will as well. Even if they are repeating conversations that they already have had multiple times.

A solid proof that not anyone can be Sergio Leone.
