Takes its sweet time to set up the characters and their antagonistic relations to one another, but I was happily absorbin' all that stuff with a stupid grin on my face while slightly nervously waiting for Shit To Go Down, which certainly did. Amusingly nihilistic fare that is (much like America itself, Quentin seems to say) built on lies, piles of corpses, a skewed sense of justice, and barely repressed hatred for one another.

SPOILERS: THE is about American history -- not in the sense that it's about an actual past but the construction of a fiction (with contestations, omissions, things seemingly manufactured whole cloth) that serves as a justification for the present. It's slack in parts & too on-the-nose with its provocations. But it ends with two former enemies settling on a story, performing a masquerade of justice, another makeshift fiction carried out in the hope that something truer will follow in its wake.

For all the focus on his vulgar tendencies, it's his sheer storytelling ability that makes Tarantino a master. His ability to craft a screenplay--knowing just how long to draw out scenes, when to start, stop, exposit, omit, misdirect, et al--is the reason his films are such a treat. The Hateful Eight, with little more than dialogue and a single setting in which we spend 90% of the 3hr runtime, is enthralling from start to finish. It may not push the envelope like his two previous, but oh well.

That scene where the general's son has good ol' Sammy Jackson's "black dingus" in his mouth? You are the son. This movie is the dingus. And Quentin Tarantino's maniacal laughter is the raging blizzard that keeps you trapped in the outhouse for three days. Unsure why Tarantino was so upset that this script was leaked. It's pretty much the same as all his movies. Talk for 2 hours, swear a lot, explode heads, play "cool songs from the 70s that I know and you don't neener neener"

I really enjoyed this, which is no surprise. Tarantino's dialogue and writing is always great, and his characters are always entertaining to watch and interesting enough to keep my eyes glued to the screen, even if there's not much going on. Acting from everybody is really good, and I also loved the music and the cinematography. It's over 2.5 hours but I didn't feel the runtime. If you like Tarantino, this is definitely up your ally.

The way Tarantino sets the scene is quite fantastic, which is why it pains me, that he ultimately ends up doing more of a Greatest Hits showcase, than the bona fide tense thriller, we know from Inglorious Barsterds he's capable of. But it sure does look good in 70mm. There's no denying that.

The first half is buildup that feels just a little awkward but by the time the intermission hits and afterward, it's all justified by rich, diverse interplay between a delectable tapestry of undignified characters. From the first shot QT/Richardson convincingly made their case for 70mm presentation in the 21st century. From breathtaking snowy vistas to wide interiors speckled with action about the frame, it's really a stupendous piece of photography. Ennio Morricone killed it on the score.

Put a bunch of grizzled ruffians in a room, have them spurt tough yet loquacious dialog at each other for a good while, then have some of them get shot in extremely gory ways. Rinse, repeat. It's a well worn formula for Tarantino, but the script and acting are so absurdly good (Jackson, Russell and Goggins are amazing) that the three hours fly by. Thank the cinema gods that someone is making quality big budget westerns in Hollywood again.

Cool performances and unique stylistic choices as per usual, but this time around the keywords are guesswork and anticipation. I didn't mind the length one bit, and up until the intermission I enjoyed tagging along with Samuel, Kurt, Walton and the gang. Sadly, the final act isn't satisfying. I'll give QT credit for his stage play mystery-epic combo, but merely delivering gallons of blood is becoming a crutch. So pretty please with sugar on top, dingus, how about a non-violent picture next time?

(70mm roadshow.) No tension. Zero. Like the recent Inherent Vice, it is troublingly prosaic work from a director heretofore known specifically for his films' energy. I gave this thing the benefit of the doubt again and again and again and only to see it fail and fail and fail by any standard. Tarantino's obsession with blackness has never been so formless and unproductive; can you cite a more textbook incidence of projection than him accusing American racists of a fixation on black dicks?

It is such a masterful movie; serene, cheesy, serious, gory all at the same time. It shows a great level of maturity on Tarantino's side; this is my favorite movie of his. The acting is unreal (particularly Leigh and Jackson) and all that effort to shoot it with 70 mm really paid off. The scenery shots are just breathtaking and the music sublime. It was a shame that I didn't see it on the cinema.

This QT's idea of mature work. Sure, the N-word gets bandied about just like old times, and blood gets spilt and worn like make-up, but only after characters deliver monologues that seek to examine American hate through a historical prism--mostly racial and regional--rather than just maximize coolness. Although that's still clearly the primary goal which overshadows all else. It would cease to be Tarantino otherwise.

Didn't realise that this is a 100% remake of Carpenter's THE THING: an unimpeachable ambition (if only Jackson's character had been played by Keith David, who would have been very good in the role). A reading could and should be conducted comparing the shoeshine scene in THE BAND WAGON (via Cavell's "Fred Astaire Asserts the Right to Praise"), the final scene of THE THING and the final scene of this movie: between them, something is being said about the development of race relations in America.

The only film that has ever made me wonder whether the term "dingus" and "johnson" was in fact commonly used vernacular in the 19th century frontier. The most honest film in the last 20 years on U.S. race relations. Tarantino once again does an odd caper where everyone is sitting in a room wondering whodunit. There are even strange homages to his own films such as Madsen doing a slow walk with a shotgun on his shoulder reminiscent of K.B. and another scene where someone gut shot dies slow.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that, during its comparatively low-key and composed first half, I was ready to commend this as Tarantino's greatest achievement. I hate to speak of a movie in such binary terms, but The Hateful Eight largely loses me in the second half, when the weight of its sociohistorical context and nervy subterfuge is alleviated with an unbecoming campy attitude. I understand it's par for this filmmaker's course, but in this instance playing violence for gags spoils the tension.

The first hour is pretty dry but it picks up around chapter 4. Compared to Tarantino's other work it's really a step down. Tarantino knows how to balance humor and drama just about better than anyone who has ever made movies and it's no different here - it's a testament to how competent he is when the funniest scenes are the murders. And Quentin, we get it, you love the word nigger. This was his Nigger Magnum Opus realized. Tarantino's worst yet

Kurt Russell & Samuel Jackson were good in this insanely crazy western. Jennifer Jason Leigh had limited opportunities to shine as the bad girl. Walton Goggins stunk it up some. I liked the door that had to be kicked open & nailed closed. Hatred, deceit & mistrust ruled in this last man standing shoot-em up fest. Lots of twists & turns. Some tedious dialog. Trademark Tarantino with unpredictable, inconsistent story, extreme graphic bloody violence & severe exploitive racism.

I think that Tarantino knows how he uses violence. That's why the vomiting scene is more extreme and more hilarious than you could have imagined in its build-up, and why the ugly ending feels downright pornographic. But it's been prepared in Roth's speech about how true justice is impartial, and afterward put in thematic context with the Lincoln letter. For once the theatrical staging gives Tarantino a right to explore our hatred in outrageous, undisciplined ways.

The dialogue isn't as inspired as his best, nor does his attempt to craft another nail-biting scene of riveting tension reach the heights of anything in Basterds (mainly b/c it's predictable) but this is yet another home run for QT. The pacing isn't brisk, but the whodunit's great & watching these actors repeatedly square off against 1 another is plenty entertaining. The build up pays off big-time as well w/ a rabid climax of violence that doubles as a metaphor 4 what this country was built on

Tarantino to the fullest, and that's pretty great even if at times it's a bit indulgent. Whatever small flaws there are with the characters and dialogue are made up for by the energy of the script and the excellent pacing that makes this fun to watch and feel much leaner than the 3 hour runtime. If you like talky movies, this hits the mark in a big way.

This being a Tarantino movie, there is of course outstanding cinematography, dialog, and stylistic violence. But, after aping Westerns for so long, his actual attempt in the genre feels a little off, and this is far more hit and miss than his most recent efforts. The intermittent narration, after-the-fact mystery elements, and odd attempts at racial and gender politics are particularly questionable.

A jaw-dropping misfire. An argument could almost be made that Tarantino's parodying himself here, what with the abundance of outta nowhere vulgarity and shocking-for-its-own-sake splattery megaviolence. At any rate, if you can make it past the stultifying first half-hour, you'll encounter something that's not only irredeemably ugly but also painfully self-indulgent and filled with characters who are impossible to root for, care about, or even spend time with. An ordeal, and a disappointment.

Tarantino returs with a dark, tense and inhospitable winter-western. It's an enjoyable slow-burning experience, maybe a little too slow at times but his writing is as good as always with crispy, funny dialogues delivered by a star-studded cast. Tarantino knows how to bring the best out of Mr. Jackson, but also Leigh and Goggins shines in this one. The slow build-up pays off when it intensifies and you get the trademark grotesque over-the-top violence to finish it all off.

Tarantino's grand 70mm western epic turns out to be a parlour piece along the lines of an Agatha Christie whodunnit. The placement of one key scene and the presentation of another are questionable, but aside from that we basically have great actors delivering great dialogue for almost three hours, while Ennio Morricone's atmospheric score adds to the tension. Sign me up for that all day long.

The way that the story is presented, and with the pace at which it's done, 'The Hateful Eight' would arguably be better suit for the stage. The long scenes of dialogue with little visual storytelling, coupled with an almost predictable reliance on hyper-violence to break it up (and a third act that is liable to disappoint), makes the picture almost feel like it was running down a Tarantino checklist. Though to be fair, that's not a bad checklist to abide by.

Only a couple of the actors really get an opportunity to engrain themselves into the memory. But - the snowy atmosphere is quite lovely and brooding outside of the four walls. It must be commended that QT knew how to make something within a single setting entertaining (no easy challenge). In the end, however, it all feels false, inauthentic. The entire single-situation narrative feels like it would be merely a chapter in a longer work, or perhaps it's all better suited for the stage.

If you're tired of what Tarantino has to offer, The Hateful Eight is going to frustrate you more than entertain you. But, if you aren't, The Hateful Eight is going to be a very funny and thrilling three hours. It's got interesting dialogue and characters, such a tense atmosphere that you eagerly await one of these individuals to explode, and wonderful acting from most of the cast. I had a very good time with The Hateful Eight, and as far as I'm concerned it's another success for Tarantino.

Some jarring moments, like the breaks from Morricone's score and the questionable use of slow motion. Not to mention, the tense build up made the conclusion seem more alluring than it ultimately proved to be (Spoiler: it's campy as hell). Still, this is another win for Tarantino. His exploration of Post-Civil War racial animus is justifiably misanthropic and frequently hilarious, especially when it's delivered right out of the mouth of Samuel L Jackson. Jennifer Jason Leigh is also terrific.

One of Tarantino's most straight-forward and least masturbatory films. It's very talkative and filled with dialogue that stretches out the tension, all the while complimented by some fine acting from this ensemble cast, especially SLJ, who's having a barrel of fun with his role. I think QT usually works well with very long, unbroken scenes, and this film is almost one of those -- it's also handsomely filmed and boasts a damn fine Morricone score, there's really not much to complain about here.

Its not his best film by any stretch, but the sight of so many veterans of film engaging each other is intriguing in its own sense. As a western it really fails, as the best ones, the environment acts as another actor. Other than some post Civil War racial relations aspects it really would not matter what era this was set in. As a murder mystery its hit or miss, its sometimes achingly slow, but there are abrupt moments of hilarity and violence. The homage to films past is great.Kudos to Goggins.

Overall I really laughed and enjoyed this subtly constructed and meticulously shot return-to-classical Tarantino piece (one-key-place and several bad men as in "Pulp..." & "Reservoir..."), besides it may be the most political film he made, for he conceives a USA without the founding fathers (fake letter and dying Russell) but with the reconciliation of rednecks and blacks. What I disliked was the sacrifice of the women and the abundant brutality in some parts.

Easily the least interesting and least entertaining of all of Tarantino's movies. And, with all its bombast about 70mm, it's somewhat painful to notice it's also his least visually interesting one. A lot here feels like a watered-down rehash, and not just of other directors' movies. More than ever it feels like he's paying homage to his own movies, which to me only came off as obnoxious. The gruesome climax feels more than ever like an attempt to shock rather than to entertain.

I quite enjoyed it but it felt a little off to me. I think the first couple chapters risked going into tedious territory -- but never quite making it there -- while the chapters afterward became a lot more compelling. Some of the humour just felt weird this time around, and the plot is too thin to be as long as it is. However, it's shot in a stylish and beautiful way (with the scenery being incredible) and all these actors are wonderful when the dialogue works (which is most of the time).

A typically intricate gory thriller from QT, who juxtaposes a Western setting with an Agatha Christie whodunnit plot, a ton of twists, and myriad colourful characters who each talk the hind leg off a mule to give themselves the required exposition. It's entertaining for a while, but too many characters die after their short cameos, and there's an over-reliance on Samuel Jackson delivering all his lines in his trademark badass tone. The climax is tense but the confection a little cloying overall.

Chapters 1 & 2 reserved for boring character development of 4 actors, which could've been better executed. 2/3 of the movie is very low energy. The most racist heavy Tarantino's films, even more than Django Unchained, and over the top with silly gore at times. Tarantino's other films were more effectively written & executed. He's fizzing out lately. In closing, I love Kurt Russell as an actor. He's been killing the game ever since the 1980s.

The Hateful Eight is yet another impressive piece of filmmaking from Quentin Tarrantino. Once again he has remarkably excelled himself in many respects and the 70mm ultra panavision works wonderfully. The landscapes in particular are both breathtaking & beautiful. And the colourful screenplay is some of Quentin Tarantino's finest and most brutal work to date. Whilst the likes of Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern & Tim Roth make-up a stellar cast.

Tarantino's most fatalistic work since 'Reservoir Dogs,' while also recalling that film's own sense of mystery guided by paranoia and deception. In what could be considered a companion piece to 'Django' by way of contemporaneous socio-politics, TH8 explores hatred's many violent manifestations--be it psychological or physical or verbal, racist or sexist--in a way that makes its depiction feel downright sinister at points. QT's most visually audacious film, and the 70mm was quite the experience.

A greatest hits of Tarantino's previous works; with western motifs, scoundrels confined to one space, and opinions on America's history of racism. What's new is his spin on the Monster in a House genre--with inspiration from John Carpenter's The Thing, Western villains, and 50's/60's tv bottle episodes. His continued trope of characters creating theatrical lies for themselves in order to succeed is obviously built for this style of story. Most of all, it rewards repeated viewings.

But compared to his recent films like Kill Bill, Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, I'm far less convinced this story needed to be told. Certainly not over three hours, anyway.

Tarantino is a lot of things, but politically correct isn't one of them. Safe doesn't interest him. He brings the war home, baby, with all the political, geographical, social, sexual and racial implications we're still wrangling with today. Watch out for Tarantino's seething subtext in The Hateful Eight -- it'll nag at your conscience and no way will it let go.

Looks BEAUTIFUL. Prefer this languorous start & fizzing conc vs Django which stumbles @ end| I would lose voice-over but if keeps QT off-screen = worth it! Less slo-mo ketchup & 'comedic' gore would improve & shorten (But is QT so that's not happening!) I tolerate ego, gore & bloat 4 dialogue he writes & perfs he gets| Roth sub Waltz but OK| SJ riveting but bit sad 2 C back 2 default after Django| JJL owns it, CH less so| Goggins breakout? Hope so| Ending nihilistic as hell & meant 2 approve?!

I am a huge fan of the previous films of Quentin Tarantino. This is another enjoyable film by the director. It has the same style and type of characters of other films by the director. The cast is great and they play well together, my favorite performance is Tim Roth's. This is my least favorite film by Tarantino so far but I still enjoyed it and I recommend this winter western.

Combine the paranoia of "The Thing" with the mystery of "Clue", set it in 1800's Wyoming and you get "The Hateful Eight". Once again Tarantino proves that his films are, if nothing else, damn entertaining. At close to 3 hours long and 85% of it taking place in one room, I was never bored for a second. That's good film making!

Tarantino builds a house and calls it America. 200+ years in 3 hourse. Very slow yet very distilled. And, of course, very bloody and exploitive. There is race, there is greed, there are myths. The woman is (literally!) a punchingbag and above everything floats this mindset they call "the free market", "the rule of law" - always busy in finding new words and ways to hide its barbarity with the Label of civilisation.

This is the original Quentin Tarantino film. Very crazy movie. I think everybody don't like this movie. Only true Tarantino fans. Because there is a lot of slow scene. And it will be boring sometimes. But i like it. The best movie in 2015, I've seen. This is not good as Django or Pulp Fiction but you must see. There is blood. A lot blood. Jennifer Jason Leigh is awesome. I think she will win the Oscar. I hope so. Film was very well. Ä°f you love Tarantino, you must watch.

The first half of the film is an incredible set-up. Tarantino's respect for the medium really shines before the guns start blazing with Morricone's score wonderfully accentuating great scenes of exposition and snowy lands. Then the guns go off and the film loses a bit of its luster.

For all the talk about 70mm and Morricone etc that makes you expect a different movie, Tarantino still settles for a claustrophobic one-room stage play that seems to ask "With all that we can do, all those grand vistas open to us, why are we still stuck here?" It's low-key by Tarantino standards, but the violence is in there from the beginning and eventuallly gets let out, as it always does.

Astoundingly enthralling and exciting with constant entertainment value. Probably the most explicit (in both definitions) that Tarantino has been in messaging. I wouldn't consider that a flaw at all, though.

A pretty solid screenplay, with a great structure. I didn't think all of the dialogue was up there with his best work, but it's still good and had some very funny moments. All of the actors do a fantastic job, with Jackson, Leigh and Goggins really standing out. Tarantino's direction is excellent, the cinematography's really nice, and Morricone's score is amazing. So, yes, in my estimation, Tarantino maintains his track record of brilliant films.

The spectacle of seeing the roadshow (by which I mostly mean the glorious 70mm Ultra Panavision) was well worth it despite needing a tighter edit. The film largely lives up to Tarantino's usual standard of quality. The dialogue is the film's main draw with its share of climactic gory set pieces in the 2nd half. Unfortunately the 1st half definitely drags in a few places that felt unnecessarily deliberately slow. Also the very end could have been just a little more satisfying.

This shows that Tarantino has grown as a filmmaker. In places, I'd even go so far as to say that there's cinematic poetry in there, and I think that's to do with clever juxtapositions. But, really, whether you like the movie or not will still come down to whether you're a Tarantino fan or not. Me? Oh, hell yes!

This is 170 minutes long. And it really doesn't show. The first half is based more on dialogue, atmosphere and building tension, whereas the second half is the one where all hell breaks loose. The eight figures are all quite interesting, and their respective actors all satisfying, with Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh arguably standing out. Tarantino is not breaking new ground in his storytelling but succeeds in delivering a highly enjoyable tale, funny, visually captivating, memorable.

In Django, we saw graphic acts of slavery. In Basterds, Shoshanna's revenge is set up from the very first scene. Other Tarantino films similarly depict concrete sources of vengeance. But it all feels more abstract in the Hateful Eight: for instance, while there's obvious racial tension with Jackson's character, his tale is mostly set up via lengthy exposition. Unfortunately, what we're left with is scummy people being scummy to each other, and it was hard to care about their outcome by the end.

I'm troubled. Narcissistic, awful, eccentric, immoral way over-the-top yet somehow genius depiction of what we don't want to be or see. Art has less boundaries than a whore but should art be one? Is the only thing that modern art wants to achieve is plain shock? I crave to know what to feel about it.

QT is a great technical director and his films have his special flare (a distinct QT feel). However, his use of race is exploitative, and in this film, the brutal treatment of Daisy felt downright gleeful. I found it difficult to overlook these two things as they did effect my overall enjoyment of the film. It's a shame, too, because there were some great moments. Morricone's score was delish, and Leigh gave a great performance even if she didn't have much to work with.

Quentin Tarantino doing Quentin Tarantino things, in GLORIOUS 70mm! This was fantastic from the start. I was lucky enough to see the roadshow version of this and could not have been happier. It truly is a beautiful film with Tarantino style dialogue to keep you intrigued and constantly involved in this Wild West whodunnit thriller. Yes, it essentially takes place in two locations and yes, it is over three hours long. No neither of those are restricting, tenuous, or monotonous.

I just watched this for the first time, and it's not easy for me to describe exactly what it is about this movie that makes it so good, but it is just very simply, very good. It feels like cinematic masterpiece. It's beautiful to look at, the acting is brilliant and captivating, and the tension keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. I can't believe I waited so long to watch this.
