The Hateful Eight

Quentin Tarantino is such a underrated director......Walton Goggins, i'm beginning to like him more more in his films....underrated actor he is

Brilliant masterpiece! Enjoyed every second of it. Must be watched on biggest screen with best sound available.

Wow, best Tarantino movie in terms of dialog. [spoiler]I loved the part where they showed how the gang set up the ambush at Minnie's Haberdashery (I love this word). [/spoiler]

I got to watch this on the final day of the road show in the most spectacular cinema I have ever seen. One of my absolute best ever movie-going experiences. The film itself was excellent, I didn't have high expectations given the premise and cast, but it really shows you never to underestimate Tarantino. The 3 hours went by in no time and I felt like not one bit of the film needed trimming. Is it my favorite Tarantino flick? Time will tell, he has been consistently putting out 10/10s for me since the early 00s - and the beautiful 70mm transfer was fantastic for the cinematography.

I loved every second of it, every dialogue, and every action sequence of it. This movie is all I needed to my weekend very well spent. My favourite line that I can remember as I am writing this:
_"Yeah, Warren, that's the problem with old men. You can kick 'em down the stairs and say it's an accident but you can't just shoot 'em"_

If Agatha Christie and Wes Craven had a one night stand in late 1800's Wyoming, their child would be The Hateful Eight. It's the perfect whodunit/western/horror. This film is a masterclass in dialog, character development, and storytelling. Absolutely superb!

So I went to see this in the 70mm tour they're doing. I'm glad I did, it was a cool experience. I'm not sure if they'll have the opening overture and intermission in the standard release or not, but it really felt like I was going to a classic film viewing in the 50's or something.

Now, onto the film. It is really hard for me not to enjoy dialogue in Tarantino films. I love the opening talks back and forth as three of the eight are driving up to the cabin. And then you get to the cabin and get to hear a lot of great dialogue from the rest of the eight. It is all great, and perfectly sets you up for violence later on.

I enjoy just about everything in this movie. Every actor is turning in a great performance, but I specifically loved Samuel L Jackson and Walton Goggins. Both went from very good at the start, to extremely entertaining by the third act (unlike the sudden voiceover).

If you like Tarantino films or westerns at all, you should certainly check this one out.

Damn it, Tarantino did it again. Shortest three hours of my life. And at the end I was like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAryFIuRxmQ
