MVictorPjinsiste ... Is that Tarantino over-rated the main protagonists' charm. After we see the "good guys beat cuffed women, we kind of root for the "bad guys", who are much more sympathetic, even after the saloon's previous massacre.A special comment on Leigh, that offers an astounding performence as a white trash desperado - she also sings quite well. She blew me away, and is now one of my favorite actress. Excellent casting choice for Tarantino. The other actors are all doing fine.This is, without any doubt, an excellent movie that will become a classic. Yes, there's too much "Tarantian racism", but even then, it isn't out of place with the context. This is a movie that slowly goes down like a glass of brandy near the fireplace.

Davis P 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!

masonkohl I've always been a big fan of Quentin Tarantino's style of filmmaking; ever since his debut, he has proven himself a force to be reckoned with when it comes to writing dialogue and creating memorable scenes. In recent years Tarantino has released films such as Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds; now even though I've very much enjoyed watching through the both of these over the years, I never felt as though Tarantino was reaching his peak. Both films would start to drag along at certain points and they wouldn't often reach the godly highs Tarantino is known for... so when I saw The Hateful Eight, I was pleasantly surprised to see how excellent it was. In the beginning, the movie gives us a taste of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack, and it sets the mood wonderfully right off the bat; it makes you, as an audience member, feel as though there're sinister events about to occur. Tarantino expertly creates a large amount of tension between characters without even showing a drop of blood for a good portion of the film. Every actor in the film has their shining moment, but both Sam' Jackson and Walton Goggins steal the show in my opinion, and I was honestly having a blast watching the both of these guys; Samuel's got some pretty good quotables. The film's cinematography was mostly well done; there are many beautiful shots of the snowy landscape that could honestly be your new desktop wallpaper, but when our characters find themselves in the cabin the film's shots become less interesting. Now, there's one thing that could be a deal breaker for an audience member when watching this film, and that's the length; personally, it's something that doesn't bother me, but if you're one to be annoyed by a film that takes it slow at times, then you should probably avoid this one. Overall, I thought The Hateful Eight was an amazing experience from start to finish; it isn't quite at the same level as Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, but it's still one of Tarantino's best films to date.

Vladimir Tokarchuk Ok real talk, anybody giving this movie anything under a 5 is absolutely tripping balls, the kind of person who only watches Fast and Furious and Triple X, and thinks that movies like The Purge and 50 Shades of Grey are classics and standards for storytelling. How can this movie be under average, even when judged purely by "was I entertained or not?" Movies like The Room are rated 3-4, and yet this high quality film is getting 1-3 stars. WTF.As for my 10/10, I understand that raises skepticism, but what it comes down to for me, like all of you, is whether I was highly entertained or not, and for me to be entertained I need great dialogue and great characters. And this movie has fantastic characters and fantastic dialogues. And every moment throughout this movie I was captivated and wanted to know what was going to happen next. AND, it is NOT predictable. This movie navigates the complex space of 8+ characters whose fates have overlapped in a small outpost during a blizzard, and as the story unfolds so do, in parallel, the complex personalities and relationships these characters have with each other. For some pasts are intertwined, for others the future, and for everyone the present. Not one of these characters is good or bad, they are just people with their own motives, life experiences and understandings. I think that those people saying that there are strong political undertones in this movie, they are just projecting and it's something they've carried with themselves into this viewing experience. I did not even think there was anything like that until I read some reviews on here. All I saw a story told in a snapshot of time.Highly recommend this movie -- reserve an evening, put your phones and distractions away, turn the lights and noises off, and hit the play button.
