The Hateful Eight

Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors and this is another great movie directed by him. Excellent cast,acting and scenery as well.

Running time (2 hr. and 47 minutes), Hi-Def Picture, 5.1 DTS Sound, Widescreen picture. Crisp and beautiful cinematography. This movie hands down was a great movie! If you like cowboy movies, this is your movie. I loved every square inch of this movie. It’s well-crafted and written. This movie has beautiful and stunning cinematography, and amazingly accurate period satire, wardrobes and props. Hollywood elites, (A-list) actors (Samul L. Jackson and Kurt Russell) carried this movie very well, and demonstrated some true grit hardcore acting which was absolutely amazing. This movie is true to the period of the 1870s cowboy brutality and racism. Some reviews on this site lack education and facts. The realism and brutality in this movie are accurate to those times. They actually committed heinous atrocities back in those times, and treated women far worse than what was portrayed in the movie. The 1870s was NOT the (soft hug a tree world) we live in today, so get over it! This movie takes place after the Civil War, approximately during the (1870s). The premise of this movie is (two) Bounty Hunters trying to get their bounty to a town; Red Rock. They stop at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover to wait out a storm, when all hell breaks loose during their visit. So this movie is damn good and that’s a fact jack! This movie is not dry or boring and will hold your every attention throughout all (2 hours and 47 minutes) of detail. This movie is so well written that it actually seemed to go by a lot faster; felt more like a (2) hour movie. In terms of entertainment, this movie is a great value. It’s the kind of movie you can curl up with popcorn and just let it draw you right in! You will get your monies worth out of this movie. This movie is NOT a family movie, meaning it’s NOT for kids at all! However, its good solid adult entertainment. This movie is a true classic in the style of “Django”. I love all of (Quentin Tarantino’s) movies. The guy is absolutely brilliant! Recommend purchase on Blu-ray. The Facts: 1. The movie is: 2 hrs. 47 minutes long. 2. Stunning Cinematography. 3. A-List acting. 4. Some humor/ brutal language. 5. Lots of gore. 6. Hardcore violence and blood. 7. Set back in the 1870s. 8. True to the times of the 1870s hardcore racism. 9. The movie is very entertaining. 10. There are NO (dry or boring areas) in this movie. Thank you!

Brand new works great happy to have it

I liked a lot about The Hateful Eight. Nobody is innocent in this film. The way it plays out kept me absorbed to the characters, and each actor does a great job in bringing their part to life. Overall, it's a pretty good film, but we are going to have to talk about the problems too. It's excessively gory at times, even beyond realism. I guess it's all just in the nature of the film, but there are things I probably would not have done. The haberdashery stuff just seems pretty mean all told, but it was rough country at times. There is absolutely no reason for Tarantino to inject himself into the film to narrate a couple parts further along, and I don't understand the need to break the 4th wall here. He didn't do it for well over an hour, so why do it for a whole 30 seconds in two parts? Honestly, I wanted to be immersed in the setting and the characters, not necessarily described scenes that could have been easily shown to the viewer without breaking the wall. Sure, for some films it works, but for this one I felt like it was an unneeded distraction. Not a huge deal of course, just something to note. I also felt a little of the dialog was a bit too modern for my tastes. People will differ in how they approach that. While the setup was pretty good, overall the whole haberdashery plot was a bit far-fetched. I'll play along for the story, and while it was seemingly fairly realistic to start with, it really does kind of get more comical than real toward the end, and I guess I still value realism more. And being Tarantino I think the comical stuff is sometimes a bit too much in his films after Jackie Brown for my personal preference. I get the irony, but sometimes it's a little crazy just to be crazy these days. But the sardonic way it is presented is usually for the better. There is a manic glee to the violence that keeps trying to nudge us into the realization of irony, but at times it's almost like beating a dead horse. Overall, the themes running through this film are relevant, they just need to be searched for in a more keen way. Context is everything in a film like this, which is why I wish it was just a bit more realistic and less over the top. At least it is toned down from Django levels of absurdity. Sam Jackson does a great job here too, and his character really brings home a few of the scenes making them intensely dramatic. In fact, ALL of these actors do a tremendous job in making this film feel authentic. Quentin does a little slow mo here and there and a couple of optical tricks that seem a little overdone in places, but it is altogether very well shot and framed. The settings, details, and everything else are spot on. So here we are with another Tarantino film, and much like Basterds or really anything after Jackie Brown, there is a weird fantastical element to all of these films that I don't quite love but still respect. Four starts for a pretty good time though. QT is a talented filmmaker, and this was an interesting take. I think it falls apart a tiny bit near the end, but a lot of cinema lovers should enjoy this one.

Suspense throughout. Thought-provoking. Taratino classic.

LOVE THIS MOVIE even though they do say the “N” word over 50 times, it’s a really cool film

Very entertaining. Great plot and plot twists. A bit bloody, but I watched it more than once.

This movie edition has turned out to be Region A locked (North America) so my european Panasonic bluray player cannot read the disc. Further more movie's box has been damaged during shipping due to inappropriate packaging (standard amazon's cardboard envelope). Languages: English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio Subtitles: English SDH (deaf or hard hearing) and spanish Screen format: 2.76:1

Even though there are a lot here that say this is a masterpiece of which I concur wholeheartedly with, I will take it a little further than that, and say it’s sumptuously with it’s whole package an deliciously makes my heart tender with delight, an don’t forget Glee, “The Hateful Eight” is a masterpiece in it’s own right no doubt about it, but the thing I love about it is, it’s the build up to it’s final conclusion, an so that I’ve seen here some people seem to think that others wont like it that way, I Think I can judge for myself whether that works for me or not, I think so, if you can’t understand the preparation it took for all the dialogue for every scene that can hold your attention for so long you just don’t have fait in speaking or listening to anything, understanding seems like a big step for people these days, I guess the abbreviated social media got them stump for words, an it’s even harder when you tell the truth, what’s the best thing here is, there was only fifteen people in the movie an it work to perfection, the original Eight an the two cooks (woman) the helper an the girl in the Davey-crochet out-fit an the man in the chair, plus Daisy Domergue brother, that was a shock to see my goodness I’ll leave it at that, an plus I’ve seen a lot of movies when people use the big N” word but in this one it was used in the most peculiar an funny way that I don’t think was offence, at least not to me, an especially when Walton Goggins was trying to say Daisy’s last name “Domergue” I couldn’t stop laughing, for laughing sake, I don’t know how Quentin Tarantino come up with that name, he must’ve been laughing, like i was, This Is A Masterpiece..An I Love It.. Love It.

Good movie.
