Coming not quite hot off the heels of his 2012 slavery revenge Western, this could almost be a companion piece to ‘Django Unchained’. Taking place in late 19th century Wyoming not long after the US civil war, ‘The Hateful Eight’ still carriesComing not quite hot off the heels of his 2012 slavery revenge Western, this could almost be a companion piece to ‘Django Unchained’. Taking place in late 19th century Wyoming not long after the US civil war, ‘The Hateful Eight’ still carries the heavy burden of slavery and is almost as racially charged as “Django” was, featuring a not so subtle subtext of a recently united yet bitterly divided nation, sound familiar?

So if you’re outraged by the “N-Word” in any context, or indeed you can’t stomach graphic violence with comedic overtones, or a general disregard for political correctness, then prepare to be offended, but then again, why would you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie?

Indeed ‘The Hateful Eight’ has elements from much of Tarantino’s previous work, plenty of ‘Django Unchained’ combined with the character mystery and standoff element of ‘Reservoir Dogs’, plus a sprinkling of ‘Inglorious Basterds’ for good measure.

There’s everything you might want and expect from a Tarantino production here, larger-than-life characters engaging in darkly comic and extremely graphic violence, sharp if slightly less memorable than usual dialogue, and of course a captivating non-conventional narrative that manages to blend in a mystery “who done it?” element.

Aided as always by the script, the actors deliver in spades, producing gloriously overacted performances that fit their world, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Samuel L. Jackson are the heart of the piece but for us Walton Goggins steals the show.

Much has been made of ‘The Hateful Eight’ being shot in glorious 70mm Panavision, and yes the panoramic visuals are stunning, but given that most people will never see this film in that format, it’s no more visually impressive than several films of the last 12 months.

If anything it’s the sound that catches the attention through the excellent sound design and historic 1st use of an original score by Tarantino, an ominous and evocative blend of Jazz and Classical from no less than the godfather of the Western soundtrack, the great Ennio Morricone.

So considering all the constituent components, why is ‘The Hateful Eight’ a less compelling and memorable piece of work than we’ve seen from Quentin Tarantino in the past?

Firstly, aside from the score, those components don’t quite mesh together as well as his last few pictures and ultimately the narrative as a whole is just not as engrossing.

But it really comes down to the runtime. ‘The Hateful Eight’ is way too long and everything from the narrative to the dialogue seems unnecessarily but unapologetically stretched out for dramatic effect but not quality, particularly when you approach and pass the 3 hour mark.

The Bottom Line…
Quentin Tarantino retains his position as king of genre filmmaking with an unapologetically violent but gruesomely funny Western that shocks and entertains on many levels, but the overstretched dialogue and a narrative that drags on beyond 180 minutes prevent ‘The Hateful Eight’ from being the instantly memorable classic we might have hoped for.… Expand

Its a violent fun throw-back to the serial TV westerns, think of it more as a long TV series playing out in a movie. There is not so much a "story" as it's more a series of events. If you want to turn your brain off and enjoy a great ride, this will deliver. It's a blood bath blast.… Expand

Despite the typical Tarantino violence, it's a very engaging film with an interesting backstory. Recommended if you can tolerate the violence, and the language. Samuel Jackson is excellent.

The most Quentin Tarantino film ever with all the salty language, florid prose, and buckets of blood as you'd come to expect from such a die hard cinéaste. While not his masterpiece, it is a masterwork of a cast, both returning favoritesThe most Quentin Tarantino film ever with all the salty language, florid prose, and buckets of blood as you'd come to expect from such a die hard cinéaste. While not his masterpiece, it is a masterwork of a cast, both returning favorites (Samuel L Jackson & Tim Roth) and some welcome newcomers like Kurt Russell and Walton Goggins, Tarantino spins a post-civil war tale of deception and justice. Kurt Russell plays John 'The Hangman' Ruth, a bounty hunter who specializes in bringing his quarry to the authorities alive, when most others prefer the Dead option when a warrant specifies Dead or Alive. John Ruth is escorting a bountyhead worth $10,000 in the form of Jennifer Jason Leigh's Daisy Domergue, a member of the dastardly Domergue gang, racing towards Red Rock, Wyoming before a blizzard, they manage picking up Samuel L Jackson's Major Marquis Warren, another bounty hunter, and Walton Goggins's Chris Mannix, the new sheriff of Red Rock. The carriage has to stop at trading post to bed down during the blizzard, where they find more company. Tensions run high, in the suddenly full house, when the proprietress is absent, who can John Ruth trust? He's met Major Warren before though he begins acting mighty suspicious, and he knows of Chris Mannix's father's reputation as a Rebel Renegade during the Civil War, though he has no proof to his claim of being the new sheriff, can anyone in Minnie's Haberdashery be who they claim?

Tarantino captures the tone of John Carpenter's "The Thing" of isolation and paranoia while earning a place in spaghetti western heaven, having Ennio Morricone score, though goes overboard filming on 70mm (super-duper wide screen) when 90% of the film takes place in one room, though it will never be said Tarantino isn't ambitious. Hateful Eight is a bygone dirty auteur film in the age of politically correct digital cinema, and no one else could have made this movie.

Someone is killing people in the middle of a winter storm in a inn (tavern). If you are a fan of 70's/80's movies, old western movies this is right up your alley. You start off not caring about an individual or even disliking them. However as it goes along you start to root for people and really try to solve the crime. Samuel Jackson is soooooo good in this he plays a bounty hunter who's horse dies in the middle of the storm and hitches a ride with a fellow bounty hunter and his wanted person. It's 3 hours long but does not feel like it. Good movie but not tarintinos best… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the premier in 70mm Ultra Panavision, and the widescreen is impressive. Walton Goggins did not disappoint, and really all of the actors did a very good job with their material.

This is a Tarantino movie, through and through, the ultimate extended single character-driven scene (well, two scenes), now taking over the entire 3 hour and 7 minute movie (counting overture and intermission). Tarantino's obsessive attention to detail is here, not just in the effort it took to make the first ultra-wide-screen movie in almost 50 years.

But this is not one of his best. The "Hateful Eight" are all pretty unpleasant characters, true to their billing, Goggins playing the best of the lot. It is a long time to spend with such a crew, no hero among them. You know that few (if any) of them are going to survive the blizzard, but exactly how they will all die is what passes for suspense.

And, why *didn't* Jackson check the cellar...?… Expand

It felt like half the movie had been filmed and Tarintino realised that he hadn't killed anyone yet so he packed as many deaths in a short space of time as he could. The dialogue was okay but not as sharp and witty as most of his films. The movie wasn't as bad as 'Death Proof' but I was definitely beginning to feel the same way about 'The Hateful Eight' as I do about 'Death Proof' in that it probably seemed like a good idea at the time but turned out not being that great..
It has to be said though that the movies main pitfall is the length, I found myself thinking "When will this movie finally end" which is never a good sign, because it was definitely beginning to drag on and it definitely started losing my attention, which yet again the only other Tarantino movie in which that happens is 'Death Proof'.
In conclusion it's a decent movie, compared to the rest of the big budget films coming out now a days. My main problem with the movie is the length (Which ultimately lost my attention) the dialogue being okay but not what I expected it to be, and what I believe is Tarantino's only flaw as a director, is that he has such un-orthodox, original, and wacky ideas (In a good way) is that sometimes those ideas aren't as good as he thought or they don't work together, which more often than not they do work well. There were a few few themes and plot lines which I felt didn't work, or I was just sitting there thinking "Why did he even put this in the movie". Still if you just want to see the latest Tarantino film, you just can't get enough of he his movies, or you want to see the latest wacky idea (Again this is sort of a complement) he has came up with up with, you probably won't read this, you will read it after the movie and are wondering what everybody else though, then there is no way the review will change your mind. If you haven't made up your mind, you probably should watch it, it's a good movie, you might not enjoy it but it will still be a good day/night out to the cinema, or it's you can just get another insight into Tarantino's strange and wacky mind and the sot of things he thinks a bout, either way it's worth a watch.
After reading this over it does seem quite harsh, but I can assure you I love Tarantino's movies and I enjoyed this movie, but just not as much as his other movies, The only reason I have these negative things to say about the movie is because it has 'Quentin Tarantino's' name to it, otherwise I would have just put it down as another movie that I enjoyed watching but probably wouldn't remember it in a few months or ever watch it again. Still, despite all I've said about it, it;s still a decent movie worth a watch and you should definately check it out… Expand

I would highly recommend it but I would say I would only recommend it if you have liked previous Quentin Tarantino movies. Ideally it stands up with it’s classics like ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘Inglorious Bastards’ and ‘Django Unchained’ although I think I would recommend those films over this one for various reasons and I still say Django is my favourite of Tarantino films, but this is a very good film with an excellent suspenseful screenplay that really works, excellent cinematography and a really good cast delivering great performances. It won’t be to everyones taste and I am certainly aware that there will be a lot of people that will outright skip this movie, but I would say it’s really worth a watch. If you are unsure of it I would understand waiting for it to come out on DVD, but I think there are a lot of good reasons to see this one in a cinema while it’s still in that environment and I suspect with the Oscar nominations that happened yesterday from this review’s publication it will be sticking around there for a while. The film is slightly un-done by it’s plot twist and it’s overly long ending but that’s really a minor nit pick. I will say, it’s worth checking out.… Expand

It may not be as bloody,action tense as Tarantino's other films like "Django Unchained", but it did have that feel to it. This movie was more intriguing with the added suspense that Tarantino favors in some of his films like "Inglorious Bastards". We really get to know these characters in the film, which seems new to Tarantino style of doing things, normally we see blood induced action, instead we see a character development that will hint at the resolution of the film. I felt though the three hour run time was a bit steep, considering major events happen about half way through, and the set up took a little bit too long. This isn't entirely bad since this anxiousness made me feel more connected to the characters and the over suspense of the plot. The film did leave me with questions though, that i felt that the film should of answered. Overall I enjoyed myself with this film, a little boring at first, but is worth the wait.… Expand

The only reason I gave it a 10 was for Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson. They were both good in their roles considering the script they had to work with.

There's a build and release to this film which is very enjoyable and it's something I will likely re-watch many times over.

" The Hateful Eight" fulfills the promise, making his 8th film a real QT project ".

Every human being has the ability to dictate a good or bad verdict regarding a film seen, everyone have the opportunity, 'Star Wars' has its bad and good" The Hateful Eight" fulfills the promise, making his 8th film a real QT project ".

Every human being has the ability to dictate a good or bad verdict regarding a film seen, everyone have the opportunity, 'Star Wars' has its bad and good side but Tarantino films it is impossible to find the negative side. With 52 years of life, " a film by Quentin Tarantino " tag is the main reason attend a theatre, regardless of history, cast, or none of these, is only Quentin. Relatively this director ever have a bad project, so "T. H. E." is one of his best weapons to be dazzled.

Quentin has broken the tradition of 2015 (remakes and a interesting thing) creating a new epic world, but occasionally introducing small variations of "Reservoir Dogs". One of the characters most hated, in a cabin, having to wait two sweet hours while a storm passes, What bad could happen? No one there is who appears to be. Like any Tarantino film is remote strictly to the experiences of the odious eight.
This man is a master that all can do, and I think more than difficult, unnecessary to create a theatrical piece (possibility) of this beautiful and unique work, serious as adapted Mad Max.

Tarantino is a guy who has been steeped in the world of the cinema since childhood, absorbing every good material that looked to translate it into their own and original projects (directing and writing) so this guy knows what it does.

Beyond a beautiful costume, the details of the time, production design or any of all the perfect items, the established location is the best way to start, a western in the snow.It is very bold picking a desolate place to lock up for some reason a group of strangers.

From the moment in which the film opens, show majestic landscapes, a strong snowfall and a muddy Jesus Christ of snow, we knew that was going to be quite an adventure. It's funny to think that a film's lasting 3 hours and 7 minutes did not come to feel tense and boring, instead of this, its suspicion and intrigue going on the rise, generating in the spectator an enjoyable experience.

Anyone who is seen the 8 films of director, could tell that own merit and as it is logical the first lines are for his most repetitive actor, Samuel L. Jackson who has collaborated with the director for the sixth time. When this black man opens his mouth, already is deserved a nomination for the Award Academy. Throughout history, the film is told in a way that personally I had never seen, making his film a proposal different to all evidenced today in day. As you might imagine, this film has continuity thanks to many matches, that the way in which Quentin implanted it everything looks the way more natural.

One of the most frequent cliches among viewers and modern dramas is to point at first sight a hero implemented as the main character, However, who could be the hero here, where no one is good? He renews this constant with a smart and fresh variation on the rotation of each of the members, being impossible to point to the protagonist. But I feel very subjectively, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Samuel L. Jackson will steal the limelight. Come to a stop (Minnie) really when everything feels strange, creating in the audience, What could happen?

A true lover of the films of this guy can say that one of the primary aspects of atmosphere to empathize more in history are the intractable and typical scores for his films where in this case chose to Ennio Morricone to form tension, achieving very well.

The storm is long and continuous, creating an atmosphere breathtakingly stressful. More of one we share the view to see Jennifer Jason Leigh in this film and "Anomalisa" is a complete pleasure. The title is accurate, and not to be the eighth Tarantino film is called "Eight" if not for call "Hateful". The Quentin formulas can be a little confusing, but it does explain at the end each parameter that seemed difficult to understand at the beginning. There are several scenes of duo for highlighted, one of them is the individualistic ability of Samuel and Dern generate one battle of a sentence against another, a total feast.

Undoubtedly, Quentin latest invention has become my favorite, the film more Tarantino. Beautifully photographed and directed 'The Eight' hides too much of some characters through shots and hits. Tarantino is one of my best directors capturing all explicitly as it imagines, not afraid to show a nudity, fellatio, and too much blood, just by caring for the rating and not the chance to fill his pockets of money not to allow the entry of young people. Violence in this work is essential and fun, even to look like a gore.
This project does not disappoint being shooting in the 70mm majestic. It's outrageous and insolent lack of participation in the 2016 awards season, taking a film gem in their hands. For Tarantino fans, "The Hateful Eight" will be the best Christmas gift, because it is one of the best films of the decade, Tarantino and the general film world,

¡Thanks Quentin!… Expand

It has every thing you might expect out of a Tarantino film, great dialogues, non linear chapters, copious amount of violence which is oddly funny at times, overthetop acting which goes with a movie of this type and of course has some epic scenes bearing Tarantino's stamp. The movie reminds me a lot of Reservoir Dogs (my favorite Tarantino film) i.e. there is just a single set and most of the events of the movie take place on it and the main theme of the film is a whodunit mystery. There some great outdoor scenes as well but I think they accounted for about twenty minutes or so in the three hour epic(yes it's that long). Speaking of long I must say the editing could have been better to make the film shorter and sharper. Also since there was just a single set, this won't be the premiere movie you think of when you think of Tarantino's visual mark, he had less to work with. Another criticism that may be made is that Tarantino took very less risk with the film, he is clearly in the safe Django Unchained mode of his last film and has arguably not innovated anything as far as this film is concerned, not that I mind it too much. Other stand out features include great music by legendary Ennio Morricone, all the Tarantino regulars and the newcomers are great as well but Samuel L Jackson is the standout and gives perhaps the best performance of his career since Pulp Fiction, and is the part of the best scene of the film and almost steals the entire show.… Expand

Take note though... It isn't very rewatchable unless you enjoy analysing films, once the twist is done and the ending revealed you don't feel that compelled to see it all over again. I also feel that among the list of Tarantino's film it's definitely not his greatest, which is a shame, but that shouldn't mean it's a bad film.

The movie was almost like a stage play and a whodunit. You know it would be bloody, but these characters are cruel people with no respect for human life. There was humor - just have to remember it is "just a movie". It was long, but I liked it.

Recorded in Panavision 7, it is extremely eye pleasing, setting a new standard in movie making.
The characters was outstandingly memorable, and that's actually one of Tarantino's best feat, creating stories with powerful characters. Especially Daisy Domergue portrayed perfectly by Jennifer Jason Leigh, her performance here kinda reminds me of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. A very strong Oscar contender, if not the race leader.
A bit shame that Tarantino didn't receive Best Director and Best Movie nomination.

The eighth film from director Quentin Tarantino brings together his stock cast for a gruesome whodunit in the wide open Wyoming winter, just after the Civil War. The gang of eight is made up of Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson),The eighth film from director Quentin Tarantino brings together his stock cast for a gruesome whodunit in the wide open Wyoming winter, just after the Civil War. The gang of eight is made up of Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), “Hangman” John Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Sheriff Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), Bob (Demian Bichir), Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), General Sandy Smithers (Bruce Dern), and O.B. (James Parks). After the script was leaked, Tarantino vowed not to make the film and turn to making one of the other projects in his reserves. I am more than happy that he changed his mind. As an avid Tarantino fan, I knew what I was getting into with this movie, although there were plenty of theatre goers who did not. Tarantino is an acquired taste, I’ll concede that, but a taste that keeps on giving once one has gotten accustomed to it.

Our story begins as we see a stagecoach, helmed by O.B., traversing an especially brutal blizzard. Major Marquis Warren, a bounty hunter, has himself a take and is trying to make it to the city to collect his reward. Hoping for a ride, he meets John Ruth, a fellow bounty hunter, and his take, Daisy Domergue. Reluctantly, Ruth allows Major Warren to travel with them as they are attempting to make it to a mutual friends’ haberdashery to wait out a couple of days of the fierce blizzard. Once they arrive, they see the haberdashery is being taken care of by unfamiliar faces. Bob is tending to the horses and the food and there are several travelers already inside. This unexpected setup doesn’t sit well with the untrusting Warren and Ruth. After questioning the temporary inhabitants, Ruth and Warren are convinced something is amiss and distinguish themselves as the seekers of truth. Committed to finding out who among them is the rat working to ensure Ms. Daisy’s release, a good old fashioned whodunit emerges. In typical Tarantino fashion, a violent outcome ensues as the mystery unfolds, and the conclusion is nothing short of the tangled sort of web Quentin is so proficient at weaving.

Again, it must be noted that I am a huge Tarantino fan. I tried my best to remain unbiased through this review, but that is extremely difficult. Tarantino is just a master at what he does. The camera usage in this film is incredible. There is a beautiful shot looking down on the group through rafters in the ceiling. Long shots abound in this film which remarkably captures the vast wilderness, as well as the subject on screen. One of my favorite moves was a lens change as Daisy was entertaining the group with a song. There was a pivotal scene unfolding in the background and Tarantino’s shift of focus was like something out of a classic film; stunning.

Tarantino’s camera work is unrivaled by many modern day auteurs, and much the same could be said for his writing. A Tarantino stronghold is his excellent knack for writing dialogue. The script is very dialogue heavy, and coming in at over 3 hours, could have the effect of weighing down the film. But, because it’s Tarantino, I never looked at my watch until the film was over and I was walking to the car. The scenes heavy with discussion are so intimate and riddled with relatable references that the audience just becomes immersed in the oratory. There are few directors like Tarantino who become so immersed into the research of their films. History buffs will be impressed by the realism in conversation achieved with the details described between characters. Tarantino thrives when one of his characters knows something no one else does. We’ve got one of those characters in this film and the careful, thoughtful interrogation in hopes of revealing the information is artful, to say the least.

A five star film from an outstanding director, Quentin Tarantino! This film is a must-see for fans of the auteur. I would suggest this film also to a student of film, as long as they can overcome the violence and gore. It is really something to see such crafty camera use come together on screen. I for one, certainly hope that The Hateful Eight is far from the last Tarantino film, and that he gives us much more to enjoy, and keeps them on film!… Expand

Set in post-Civil War Wyoming, Quentin Tarantino provides us with a visually stunning film, shot in 70 mm, but it is clearly not his best cinematic effort. This story starts slow, attempting to build its characters methodically. If you can endure the first couple of chapters, this “cinematic stage play” will develop intensively thereafter.
The plot centers upon two sets of stagecoach travelers trying to make it to Red Rock, stymied by a horrible blizzard and forced to take refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, an isolated way-point. An ensemble cast, most of whom have grudges or issues with each other, settle in for what essentially becomes a “who dunnit”. The mysteries and answers come forth in an explanation of certain conditions that existed prior to the arrival of the second stagecoach and result in a bloody and violent ending.
Not a traditional “Western”, The Hateful Eight” has garnered a wide range of critical ratings and some were punctuated with complaints about the excessive use of the “n-word” (not unexpected given the era and continuing racism of the characters with confederate convictions). The violence was also criticized, but this is a trademark of Tarantino and should be expected.
The cast includes many Tarantino veterans, notably Samuel L. Jackson as Major Marquis Warren, an ex- union hero and legendary bounty hunter, whose performance is intense and essential. Tarentino veterans include Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, James Parks and Walter Goggins. Jennifer Jason Leigh is amazing and a treat to watch as Daisy Domergue, a convicted murderer with a $10,000 bounty on her head. She’s bound for a hanging at Red Rocks. Kurt Russell the bounty hunter John Ruth, who is bringing Daisy in and hell-bent to deliver her alive to meet her maker. The cast is rounded out by Damian Bichir and Channing Tatum, in what turns out to be almost a cameo appearance for him.
The end result is nowhere near the level of cinematic brilliance of Tarantino’s masterpiece, “Pulp Fiction”, but I give it a 74 out of a possible 100; good, not great. This is not for children and some adults may feel uneasy with the racism and violence that is displayed in the second half of the film. All others should give it a try, if, for nothing else, the performances by a solid cast.… Expand

Tarantino siempre sorprende, para bien como en Four Rooms, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction o Django desencadenado, o se nos tira por el mal camino mostrándonos su faceta mas cargante y soporífera como Kill Bill vol 2 o Malditos Bastardos, yTarantino siempre sorprende, para bien como en Four Rooms, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction o Django desencadenado, o se nos tira por el mal camino mostrándonos su faceta mas cargante y soporífera como Kill Bill vol 2 o Malditos Bastardos, y nos llega su octavo film y repite género de nuevo...EL WESTERN.

Los Odiosos Ocho nos sitúa en una situación de supervivencia y paranoia, donde varios individuos, se encuentran aislados en mitad de una ventisca, 2 cazarrecompensas, una criminal, un sheriff novato, un ganadero, un mexicano , un verdugo y un general confederado, donde cada uno tiene cosas que ocultar y ninguno es quien dice ser.

Poco puedo comentar de la trama, ya que lo mínimo que desarrolle algo del film, en sentido de historia, puedo romperos la gracia, solo quiero decir que la historia es, en efecto, una historia que define el concepto de precisión milimétrica, ya que Tarantino hila una historia mezclando el western, el thriller, humor negro (muy negro) e incluso homenajeando a clásicos como La Cosa, Cluedo y por supuestos sus autohomenajes, que es Tarantino, no nos olvidemos. Todo ello aderezado por un inspiradísimo Ennio Morricone que sigue teniendo el toque, no como otros...ejem ejem John Williams.

Aunque parezca raro por parte de él, ha dejado a un lado sus tics y taras que arrastraba de films previos, y nos encontramos ante una película filmada de manera SOBERBIA, y que en efecto, como decían, tiene más pinta de ser una obra de teatro, ya que hay posiblemente 3 zonas diferentes en todo el film, pero no afecta en absoluto, es más, le consigue dar esa atmósfera agobiante y claustrofóbica que una película de este tipo necesita.

El reparto, brillante, ante actores del calibre del gran Kurt Russel, una Jennifer Jason Leight acojonante y brutal su actuación, Walton Goggins, que borda el papel y el incombustible Samuel L Jackson, que nos presenta otro personaje que puede molar y acojonar, todo en uno.

Los problemas que se le ven al film: tarda un poco en arrancar y la duración, de unas 2 horas y 45 minutos, sean a mi juicio excesiva, ya que a la película le sobra por lo menos 20 minutos, y que puede perfectamente eliminar cosas, pero no afecta al film tanto.

Though featuring outstanding dialogue, powerful performances, and a strong plot, The Hateful Hate falls flat thanks to a sluggish pace and a striking similarity to Tarantino's other films.

Circumstances have kept me from being able to see the 8th film by my favorite writer/director Quentin Tarantino for too long; having finally gotten to see it I can honestly say that, while by no means a masterpiece or even on the same levelCircumstances have kept me from being able to see the 8th film by my favorite writer/director Quentin Tarantino for too long; having finally gotten to see it I can honestly say that, while by no means a masterpiece or even on the same level as his previous Western, "Django Unchained", it is still an entertaining film in its own right.

The plot goes a bit like this: in the post-Civil War United States, Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson, in his umpteenth collaboration with Tarantino) is transporting a trio of dead bounties to Red Rock, Wyoming. Unfortunately for him, he gets caught in a blizzard and has to put his horse down, forcing him to hitch a ride with fellow bounty hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth (Kurt Russell) to Minnie's Haberdashery, a nearby dry goods store and inn, to wait out the storm. On the way they pick up another passenger, former Lost Causer and new sheriff of Red Rock Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), and both men are brought up to speed on the woman (Jennifer Jason Leigh) Ruth is transporting: she is Daisy Domergue, an outlaw wanted for murder and other unspecified crimes who he is taking in to see hang. Warren and Mannix are, to say the least, distrustful of each other, but things simmer down for a bit at least until they reach the Haberdashery, where they find it far from empty. Inside are a host of other individuals including the shop's Mexican caretaker (Demian Bichir), the hangman of Red Rock (Tim Roth), a cowboy (Michael Madsen), and a former Confederate general (Bruce Dern). As time drags on, it's clear that at least one of them isn't who they say they are...Are they in league with Domergue? Maybe. You should go watch and find out. No spoilers, you know.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that as much as I like QT, he made a lot of mistakes with this movie. There's a lot of unnecessary narration within the film, and it takes away from some of the visual enjoyment of the movie. Rather than allow things to play out on-screen, Tarantino takes a much more direct approach and merely tells us what's going on, either by himself as the on-and-off narrator or through the characters. A good balance is necessary for using flashbacks as well; they can be important in explaining things that happened previous to the main action, but having too many will bore and too few will confuse. The latter is the unfortunate situation plaguing this film, and we're mostly forced to rely on characters' recognition both of each other and of things we never get to see to figure things out, which takes away a bit from the razor-sharp intelligence that has become a staple of Tarantino's works. Additionally, this is the first time he's ever committed a major sin against the Ten Commandments of cinema: half of the main cast was fairly one-dimensional and uninteresting. It should be expected that, with such a large host of "main" characters that anyone would have trouble splitting screen time and character development between them, but the effort is so lop-sided we don't even care what happens to most of them. It becomes pretty clear early on who the movie is about and therefore who the action will focus around.

Nonetheless, this film has its strengths as well, particularly the cast (full of both previous Tarantino collaborators and a few newcomers including, in a surprise move, Channing Tatum, who even gets to deliver his own monologue), the lean and mean dialogue, and the excessively over-the-top violence that is both uncompromisingly brutal and utterly hilarious in its graphic appearance (seriously, Quentin, what is it with you and people getting shot in the face?). Tarantino still knows how to emphasize character dialogue and interaction over thrills and kills, and thus his newest film maintains the spark of wit that made his works so special in the first place. Additionally, this is his first movie in which there is no truly "good" character, in the traditional sense; "The Hateful Eight" lives up to its name as mistrust runs rampant among these retches who miserably cross paths with one another, and they all, in one way or another, aren't much better than the outlaw Domergue (also, to the radical feminists out there, you crow about equal treatment but then retaliate against a female character being treated harshly because she's a killer? Come on, that's low even for you). Even Warren and Ruth, who we are first introduced to and are portrayed as the most trustworthy individuals, have their own vices: Warren confesses to the good general about a rather disturbing scene that occurred between him and the latter's son, and Ruth is quite abusive towards his prisoner due to his view of her as a sub-human criminal.

All in all, another solid addition to the Tarantino cinematic legacy that began back in 1992 with "Reservoir Dogs". Could it have been better? Sure. But it could have been a lot worse, too. The less thought you put into this film, the better. Just go enjoy it for the sheer entertainment value. 8/10… Expand

Hateful Eight is slow to start (a slog even) but the added exposition and dialogue serve to present the characters. The film draws inspiration from western influences as well as mystery novels. Kurt Russel and Samuel L. Jackson's performances are the standouts of the movie. There are some comedic moments added for a bit of brevity in an otherwise grisly and bloodletting film. If you stripped all of the blood letting the story itself would still be an intriguing one. Once the revelations start to occur the movie's pace picks up and has you eager to see what happens next.… Expand

That's what this movie is. It's a mystery. It feels like you're right there in on the action. It's not a giant run-and-gun shooter. It's a small, contained, mystery. It's slow, and feels heavy. If that isn't your thing, then this isn't for you. But the characters are interesting, nuanced, and unique enough for you to want to invest and keep watching. If you walk in expecting some gun-slinging cowboy action, (not to say there isn't) then you'll be highly disappointed. I won't spoil the plot, but if you're also expecting all the good guys to get their way throughout the film, you'll also feel like you're leaving the film empty-handed. If you watch it like a police chief or investigator, looking for clues, listening to intonations, and criticizing every piece of information the movie gives you, you'll have a great time. There were some parts I think the movie felt like it was dragging on, but it added to the suspense and drama once the story kicked into full-gear. The sets, costumes, and cinematography were all amazing. Really immersive and realistic. I actually felt cold watching this movie.… Expand

[The Hateful Eight] doesn’t imitate the classic westerns, it is one. Shot on honest to goodness 70mm film and scored by Ennio Morricone himself, The Hateful Eight plays like a relic unearthed from Hollywood’s now ancient past.

The store centers on a group of travellers all caught in a blizzard. It's clear that not everyone of these misfits is entirely truthful. The story progressed smoothly and despite it's length was often tense and gripping. It's one of Tarantino's finest and the most interesting period piece I've seen in a long time.

Filmé en Ultra Panavision 70 mm soit en argentique ! Il est clair que ça fait authentique (prenait ce dernier mot au sens le plus large) Bref heureusement qu'il est sortit !!!

Il change de d'habitude et se base plus sur l'aspect psychologique, qui est méchant qui est gentil? J'avoue au début sa ma fait pensé à "shinning". Heureusement que ce discours se varie au fur et à mesure que l'on découvre les personnages ... Car c'est la qu'est la grande force du film la découverte de personnages et on y passe beaucoup de temps. Ne penser pas voire des personnages qui se font désinguer dans d'immense paysage toutes les minutes. Vous allé passer votre temps à déterminer si il ou elle ment... c'est génial surtout avec ce casting mémorable. Cependant déçu de ne pas avoir vu Christolf Waltz (second acteur de Django, grand méchant dans James bond Spectre et occupé a regarder sa pub de clash of clans ... LOL). Ça me fait penser au anti héros qui son amener avec génie dans ce film Au-delà de ça les paysages sont magnifique et filmé avec style. Les musiques sont envahissantes, bien que moins impressionnantes que "Django" (la cassure est moins grande peux être ... car la BO de Django était juste EPIC)
Des Gerbes de sang il y en a, mais ce n’est pas l'objectif principal du film, cependant évité d'emmener vos enfants Donc un très bon film que je regarderai encore!
Les westerns toujours aussi rares... Heureusement que certains réalisateurs font de la qualité dans ce style ;)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I found the dialogue wasn´t as cool and stylized as previous Tarantino films so I’ve only given it a 07-10. But the atmosphere was great… that cabin out in the snow.
The movie has some great epic western score.
The scene where Warren and Bob are setting up a rope line to the outside toilet reminded me a lot of a scene from The Thing 1982, even the music sounded a lot like John Carpenter’s score for that movie (not a coincidence as Morricone and Russell both worked on that movie). In fact, there is a scene in H.E. where the music is, in fact, an exact copy of Morricone´s score for The Thing. Tarantino must be a fan of that movie. H.E. has some of the same feel as The Thing, a bunch of people (mostly men) locked together in the snow… and one or more are not who they appear to be.
I thought Bob´s Mexican accent was REALLY over the top and wondered why they couldn’t get somebody to do a better accent… turns out that the actor is actually Mexican!
Warren´s gloves are bad a#s. I always loved those big ol´ white leather cavalry gloves when I was a kid.
There are some fantastic tiny moments between Ruth and Domergue… they are like an old married couple, manacled together, I thought that was really interesting (and even touching)… he even cleans a little bit of stew off her cheek.
The scene where they serve and eat the stew was probably my favourite. I love a good movie scene where people are sat around eating. I have got to get myself one of those big old wooden bowls and a wooden spoon for my cocido and fabada. That stew looked really tasty.
Is the movie based on some real historical events and characters? I got the feeling that Tarantino was trying to create characters around actual events of the time.
Lost a lot of respect for Michael Madsen (since his character in Reservoir Dogs) with his new haircut and the extra weight he just looked like a big ol´ fat drag queen and not a tough guy.
I thought the Tarantino narration halfway through was very forced, just didn´t fit into the movie for me. Maybe that was typical in old western T.V. shows?
Smithers was cool. If you haven’t seen the movie Silent Running I recommend you watch that – It´s a Sci Fi classic, with Bruce Dern a the main character.
Definitely, a film that I am going to have to watch a few more times… especially in the winter. It´s quite possible that the score may go up on watching it again.… Expand

Instead the director has become a genre unto himself. When you go to see a Tarantino film you more or less know what your going to get….sharp dialogue, stand-out performances and a narrative that messes with the timeline.

All these elements are present and correct in the film-makers’ latest outing The Hateful Eight, the second western to enter the Tarantino-verse after Django Unchained.

Plot wise this is probably the most straight forward movie he has ever made which allows the director to play to his strengths — dialogue and directing actors. On those two fronts, it’s safe to say, he delivers in spades.

If I were to think of the stand-out scenes of Tarantino’s last two films they would probably be the opening sequence of Inglorious Bastards (featuring a tense stand-off between Col. Hans Landa and a French farmer) and the dinner scene in Django Unchained, during which Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) interrogates his guests.

Now imagine one of those scenes stretched out into a film….there you have The Hateful Eight.

The action is almost entirely contained within a single location - Minnie’s Haberdashery, a mountaintop refuge for the eight reprobates of the title.

After a (slightly) over-long set up, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) arrives at the haberdashery with his prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to wait out an approaching blizzard.

That’s where things get really interesting. Populating the beautifully realised Haberdashery set are an eclectic mix of Tarantino veterans and newcomers who proceed to give a master-class in character acting.

To give away much more of the plot really would be spoiling things but needless to say not all of the patrons are quite what they seem.

From Samuel L. Jackson’s Marquis Warren to Tim Roth’s Oswaldo Mobray every character has their moment and each is portrayed with incredible skill. As suspicions and mis-trust run high the audience is put in the unique position of not knowing who to trust, making the interplay between the characters all the more complex.

While the plot thickens and motivations are revealed Tarantino has another opportunity to explore the politics of slavery, this time with a focus on the American civil war. The moral ambiguity in The Hateful Eight forces characters to question their own prejudices and moral codes. By comparison, the film-makers’ first attempt at addressing the issue, Django Unchained, was far more black and white in its outlook. To my mind the new films’ take on the subject is far more interesting (not to say the violence of Django’s final act is any less satisfying).

As The Hateful Eight ramps up to it’s bloody conclusion, Tarantino masterfully plays with the structure, dropping in an intermission and an extended flashback in the third act at the perfect moments.

It’s this third act that seals the deal as the director plays with audience expectations. At times you wonder if the The Hateful Eight would be better as a stage play or even a novel. However by the time all is revealed there is little doubt, film was the medium in which to tell this story – and it’s told in style.

The Hateful Eight is a must for Tarantino fans and in my humble opinion is stronger than his previous two outings (the aforementioned Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained) which often suffered from meandering story-lines.

The ensemble cast are phenomenal in their respective roles and, as we all know, no one delivers a Tarantino monologue like Mr Samuel L. Jackson….… Expand

The Hateful Eight Tarantino's idea of novelization is getting its feet on, firm and deep, no matter how familiarProbably Tarantino's smoothest and most affectionate filmmaking style, almost as if he didn't make it for anyone but himself.

The Hateful Eight

Tarantino's idea of novelization is getting its feet on, firm and deep, no matter how familiar and even outdated the arena might feel like. This, often considered as derivative, formula coming from his very own project Reservoir Dogs, breathes this time a heavy western warm air in this cold land and among cold characters. But the entire quickness of the western genre is melted down to racial slurs when the writer-director Quentin Tarantino decides to slowly kill you off with a poisonous theme. His methods are tricky and even deliberately deceiving, thinning the crowd, he wishes to give the time of their lives for the viewers of his own taste.

And filmed in two 65 mm Ultra Panavision, the viewers are tamed to absorb the presence of the screen much more than the assumption skills. As in the film is not thought provoking, it doesn't mean that the film isn't smart, it's just that it is shot with an intention of reading the lines, the screen with a warm tea on a rainy morning; ergo it feels like a book. And boy, is it a page turner! From chapter after chapter, Tarantino is giving you exactly what you are looking for with a predictable outcome, playing not a safe ground but a going-out-of-its-way rule.

Tarantino has matured the most as a director, speaking most of the story visually, he is probably underrated for this project of his, on not being layered enough. But if you see his characterization and mythical rumorization of the props you'll feel like that element growing into a character, smooth and nice. For instance, if a film covers a flashback scene, and we are returning to the first shot of the film, Tarantino gives us a different angle, signifying the other side of the storyline that we are about to focus; not The Hateful Eight but the unsung one.… Expand

Tarantino is known for his gratuitous gore, occasionally heavy-handed delivery, and homages. This movie checks all these boxes, notably being a homage to the John Carpenter winter horror film, The Thing, wherein several people are snowbound while struggling with an unknown killer and each other’s trust. However, the Hateful Eight is more than just a standard Tarantino film with Carpenterian origins. It is a tense drama that explores some of America’s unhealed history in a twisting unconventional manner. There are a few uncomfortable scenes, notably regarding subjugation, but other than that, the movie is generally a rewarding watch. To say that any singular performance was especially stand out would be to cut short praise for the others. The Hateful Eight is shot in beautiful 70mm, while being excessive, certainly gets the job done. The cinematography was expansive and encapsulating, something that doesn’t amount to much, with most of the runtime being indoors. The main thing holding The Hateful Eight back is the unnecessary gratuitousness of the gore, something that seems to be inherent to a Tarantino film at this point. I will note that I haven’t seen the approximately 4-hour long ultimate extended cut, because I find the movie to run dry at its theatrical release length. Regardless, the end-product that I saw was overall well shot, acted, and written.… Expand

En su línea de películas (los amantes de su "gore" serán satisfechos una vez más), quizás no es la mejor ni la que más me gusta, y si es cierto que tiene un primer acto demasiado largo y un poco lento a mi parecer, compensa con creces todo lo que ocurre en cuanto se abren paso el resto de los personajes.

El "giro" de la trama a mitad de la película es tan simple que es magnífico, y funciona de manera sensacional. Papelones de Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggings y en especial Michael Madsen, el más "cowboy" de todos en mi opinión. Recomendada y más si te gusta Tarantino.… Expand

In my opinion, Tarantino doesn’t show off his consistency in any other movie as much as he does in this one. In his other movies, you could always feel his western influence bleed into whatever genre he wrote in; this made all his movies have a certain flair and feeling that is un-matched by any director of his time. I always asked myself what a fully western movie by Tarantino would look like until I saw “The Hateful Eight”. As soon as the first few lines of dialogue begin you can immediately feel the passion of this film, all it took was to hear those first few lines for me to know that this is what Tarantino should be doing. The entire movie takes place in a very limiting amount of sets, which could be a down-side for a lot of viewers but in my opinion, this gives the spotlight to the most thought-out part of any Tarantino film, his writing. Tarantino has a way of making a movie feel so alive with only using his words; the way he achieves this perfect balance of plot driven dialogue and normal conversation amazes me every time. One minute he’s taking about big macs in Europe and the next he’s giving you the most well-presented bible verse of all time; his films are truly the work of genius. I could talk about Tarantino films for hours, but this about the “The Hateful Eight” so I should probably try not to get side-tracked. The most important scene of this movie is actually one of the first, the carriage ride to the shaft (which is were most of the movie takes place) presents all of the main problems of the movie, creating this tension between the characters that resonates through-out the remainder of the film; with just a short conversation Tarantino is able to masterfully set-up what this movie is all about. Not only is this scene incredibly written, it is also perfectly paced, he knows exactly when to be funny, exactly when to be serious or awkward which makes for one of the most impactful moments in all of cinema. Back to westerns, it is clear Tarantino has seen a great deal spaghetti western films and it really shows. The camera work and the ambience it creates makes this movie feel like a true modern western, it’s as if you’re watching the great Sergio Leone make another one of this masterpieces. The props on set, the costume design and the just the way these characters speak are all examples of the great amount of detail Tarantino can truly achieve. I would like to speak more of this film but I am afraid I wouldn't be able to hold myself back from completely revealing the movie, I am a true believer in the ancient tradition of NO SPOILERS! So, I leave you with the wise words from the actual movie - “The ****** in the stable has a letter from Abraham Lincoln?”… Expand

The story is a slow build but develops the characters just the right amount and the twists in their interactions keeps their tension high throughout. It was longer than ideal but felt shorter than some of his earlier works.… Expand

Фильм местами забавляет, а местами заставляет отвернуться от отвращения, но смею предположить что за это и любят данного режиссера.… Expand

Era pra ser previsível, mas é Tarantino.

O filme é teoricamente simples. Está longe de ser frenético, tem pouquíssimos cenários e tudo é muito trabalhado na base do dialogo. Os personagens são fantásticos, e todo o elenco está bem escalado.Era pra ser previsível, mas é Tarantino.

O filme é teoricamente simples. Está longe de ser frenético, tem pouquíssimos cenários e tudo é muito trabalhado na base do dialogo. Os personagens são fantásticos, e todo o elenco está bem escalado. Eles parecem ter vida e ao mesmo tempo são caricatos - do modo como o Tarantino gosta de fazer. O filme tinha tudo pra ser claustrofóbico, mas os embates de personalidades, a tensão envolvendo toda a situação envolvida, os elementos que o diretor deixa em tela pra discrepar que o final será estrondoso e os diálogos bem desenvolvidos fazem com que o tempo passe voando e você nem perceba que está preso num cenário com os personagens.

A fotografia é muito bem cuidada, com ângulos que priorizam as expressões dos atores, outras a geografia do local, outras a imensidão do "deserto gelado".
A trilha sonora é de extremo bom gosto, os momentos cômicos são certeiros e o filme sabe exatamente quando acabar, sem pontas soltas.

9/10.… Expand

Омерзительная Восьмерка безусловно хороший фильм, но мы не сможем назвать его легендарным через 20 лет, как другие фильмы Тарантино...

Jackson alongside Kurt Russel and Walton Goggins and many more. Everyone is brilliant, and the characters and performances really carry the whole movie. It took a while to really get into the Tarantino groove, but when it does it’s truely worth the wait. Tarantino delivers on the ambitious direction, poetry-esque dialogue and unapologetic gore that everyone’s come to expect.… Expand

This film is deemed “slow” by many viewers, but I think that is the magic of it. Tarrantino is known for his epic, fast paced tales, focussing on characters. The Hateful Eight takes it’s time to slowly introduce the characters. Set in a “haberdashery” , isolated from any other human contact during a 3 day long blizzard. The characters, in a Agatha Christie style ‘whodunnit’, try to work out who is killing off people slowly. The “slow” pace of the movie allows time for the brilliant actors to interact with each other, building up each character for the viewer. I think this theatre-like interaction between the characters shows Tarrintino’s writing genius. This movie is not for everyone, but for me is up there with some of his best movies. Recommended.… Expand

I don't think this is Tarantino's worst movie, as many people says. I really enjoyed the characters, plot and the atmosphere that is built during the movie. And of course, Ennio Morricone's OST is BRILLIANT.
