Very Cool!!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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

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.

I haven't seen many Tarentino films, only the two Kill Bills and now this one, but I can say that if all the rest of his films are like this one, then I'm forever a fan. This is a fantastic film, it does everything right. The storytelling and the acting is what really stands out here. This film is told in chapters, and each chapter is essential to the overall story. Samuel L. Jackson gives an incredible performance here, ofcourse he never phones it in, but this performance is especially strong. The other one that really shines here is Jennifer Jason Leigh, she really shows her great acting abilities here as Daisy. Very deserving of that Academy Award nomination. The other cast members do great too, very focused and committed. The film is a claustrophobic western mystery film. I love that the film is vague and doesn't give you much to go off of. I was thoroughly entertained and never bored. How could I be bored with such great writing and such great acting? 10/10!

The Hateful Eight - is the eighth film by Quentin Tarantino. After the stunning success of the Tarantino's Django Unchained, Quentin presented us the new story, where events unfold after the American Civil War.The movie starts from beautiful views of Wyoming plains. The bounty hunter John Ruth is escorting the female criminal person Daisy Domergue to Red Rock. The carriage is driven by O.B., experienced coachman. In the trip, John picks up another bounty hunter Major Marquis Warren (Afro-American) and Chris Mannix, who called himself new sheriff of Red Rock. The weather is very bad. For covering from the blizzard, they arrive to the Minnie's Haberdashery. But they discover that Minnie is missing there. Instead of her they meet several other people: a Mexican Bob - the temporary owner, Oswaldo Mobray - a hangman, Joe Gage - a cowboy and Sanford Smithers - the retired Confederate general. All 9 people have to stay under the same roof. However the fact is that almost all of them have very bad actions in the past. Some of them were enemies in the Civil War, and they try to provoke each other. Bad the main problem is that someone has introduced himself as another person. Who wants to free Daisy and kill all of the rest? Compared with Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight doesn't have a lot of action. However, the viewer can enjoy the slow narration, interesting dialogues, and gradually increasing tension between all characters - all things that we love in Tarantino movies. The actor play is perfect: Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins and Jennifer Jason Leigh - everyone is in the right place. I strongly recommend The Hateful Eight to all Western lovers.
