The Hateful Eight

Great movie…seen it twice

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!

Tarantino's best film in my opinion, but maybe I am biased towards westerns, mysteries, and interesting dialogue. It looks crisp on Blu-ray at a nice 1080p. No problems with the case or disk. This is a good one for inclement days.

One of the best westerns I have seen in a long time love the movie

This was a good movie, but there were times it just dragged pointlessly. It enraptured and captured my interest, then minutes later lost it, only to capture it again. I somehow made it all the way through enjoying it overall, but it would be my least favorite Tarantino film. Usually his films are an intense force and they usually have at least one likable character. I found none of these characters all that interesting or likable. The cast is superb and they did a phenomenal job with what they were given with, but the story drags and the film is already a long one. The setting ambiance is a never-ending cold snow storm that doesn't seem to let up. I don't know if I'd recommend watching this if you're in a depressed mood. The language and the occasional violence is bloody and offensive. I don't mind and can take it, but it's pretty severe and almost forced and pointless that it could turn you off. Regardless, I still managed to find this okay, but I'm a Tarantino fan and this would fall into one of my lesser favorites of his, but worth a possible watch. I love Quentin Tarantino's movies, including the bad ones. Although the majority of my favorite films he's done were in the first half of his career like Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill 1 & 2. I even enjoyed Death Proof. If you like Tarantino's work, then you may enjoy this to a degree.

What needs to be said? This movie is amazing. The dialogue, the performances, the tension, and the slow-burn storytelling all come together perfectly. It's one of those movies I can watch over and over without getting tired of it. If you're a Tarantino fan, this is an easy recommendation.

Love this movie

The characters are grim, but the story line is great and...well, the cast is superb! Samuel L. Jackson - need I say more? Kurt Russell also has a great role and damn, Jennifer Jason Leigh has definitely grown since Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Well worth watching.

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.

The first thing you need to know is that this film is visually stunning. Tarantino decided to film it in 70mm in a nod to the old westerns of the 1950's. Just the opening titles are breathtaking. The second thing you need to know is that the soundtrack is by Ennio Morricone. Yes, THE Ennio Morricone who wrote the music for 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964), 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965) and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' (1966). OK..now we've explained that we'll discuss the movie but without revealing anything. It's a moody & atmospheric film. Deep snow features throughout and you can't help but feel the cold as you watch this 161 minute film. The cast is exemplary with a few Tarantino favourites like Samuel L Jackson, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth but it's Kurt Russel and Jennifer Jason Leigh who shine throughout. It wouldn't be a Tarantino film without language that's now frowned upon and violence when you least expect it. Can't discuss the plot as that's better for you to find out yourselves as you settle in for the ride. Personally I think this is by far the best Quentin Tarantino film ever. He knocked it out the park with this one and I am very happy I now have a copy.
