The Hateful Eight - Trailer/Discussion

It's Tarantino so you know it will be good...either the movie..or dialogue..or BOTH...

 

Good to see Tim Roth in a QT movie again.

 

It was crap.

Three hours of yada yada yada in a room and only near the end it came alive. The dialogue wasn't as sharp as in previous Tarantino films. I had to struggle not to fall asleep or just quit. Tarantino's worst movie ever. Only the original music by Ennio Morricone can be call a piece of art. Still not enough to save this fiasco. 4/10

 

LOL @ QT hater. Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies and I have enjoyed pretty much all of Tarantino's previous films, including the ones he did not directed like 'True Romance' and 'From Dusk Til Dawn'. I went to watch 'The Hateful Eight' with a very biased mind that it would be great, but as it kept dragging on and on and on with pointless dialogue and actually NOTHING HAPPENING for the first two hours, it lost me. Quentin is entitled to a dud like everybody else in Hollywood. And this film is that dud.

 

I was going to give this movie less than 4/10 based on the hilariously shit preview I saw of this at the cinema 2 months ago.

Tarrantino has unfortunately created a legion of idiotic fanboys (and a whole lot more who aren't) that pander and bow down to ever movie he makes since Pulp Fiction.
Very poor logic.

 

You're missing the point: people like me don't need to...to know what happens / what it's like / give a review.

This will be as shit as they come.
Count on it.

 

then consider my review the Minority Report. ::

 

Saw this last night.
It's got some good acting and great cinematogrpahy but in the end, it suffers from being 'baggy' and way too overlong (which is something that Django suffered from), lots of OTT violence and use of the word 'nagger' which will tick the boxes of Tarantino fans.

Panchy' score is a little low...I'd say a solid 6/10

 

I am definitely going to see this. It has been obvious that QT has made his movies more difficult than the early ones. He can't make Jackie Brown or Kill Bill over and over again

 

cosign with this review

 

PF and JB are his only positives.

 

Ennio Maccaroni?

 

No. IB is his best work ever, even though it wasn't as popcorn as JB

 

I suppose. But then it's got Christoph Waltz in it who does his usual schtick and is the most overrated actor of all time.

 

I like the two KB a lot. Even my children love KB. I heard Tarantino is planning a third part (isn't Uma Thurman a little too old now?).

 

Now THAT could be interesting.

 

I just saw it. Have to agree that it is the only Tarantino film ever that felt too long and even boring at times.

Now obviously there was a point in the graphic violence. The movie spoke about how violence and distrust create more violence and distrust and eventually there are no more goodies and badies but just poorly justified pointless madness. However, Tarantino's earlier works have covered the same subjects and been much better drama than this

 

reservoir dogs and pulp fiction are tarantino's only two great movies, surely

Jackie brown was a v. good genre movie

kill bill/basterds/Django all pretty much the same ironic "so bad it's good" b-movie vibe. they're interesting, certainly nice direction and music and some amazing scenes, but they're all cartoons, no emotional depth to them at all. he gave up creating real characters after jackie brown and max cherry kissed each other goodbye.

 

I agree with Kill Bills and Django too but not Bastards. I agree with Tarantino's last line in it, it is his masterpiece

 

I probably like basterds better than any of the other hyper-stylised bombastic B movie homages that he makes these days, but it's still what it is. when mr white and mr pink are arguing, when nice guy eddie is freaking out cos his old buddy mr blonde has just been killed, Vincent vega is taking the piss out of jules over underestimating the intimacy of foot massages, when mia Wallace is flirting with vega in the restaurant - there's real, deep humanity running through all of it, even despite the unreal postmodern universe it all takes place in. nothing like that in basterds.

 

I do think there is humanity behind IB. It is just expressed in meta-level, disguised in B-level clothing

I wrote this about Inglorious Bastards two years ago or so (excuse my English)

IMO the idea in IB was that the viewer cheers for the Bastards and loathes the Nazis even though both sides are portrayed as mindless sadists (the good people being called as Inglorious Bastards, underlining the obvious point). At the end Nazis are giggling for same kind of movie as the viewer is just watching which takes the movie to meta-level. As Hans Landa says in the first scene, people hate rats but not squirrels even though there is no actual reason for that and it doesn't touch them on personal level. The assimilation is obvious.

There are some scenes which are obvious satire, how wars and horrible events of the history become entertainment in pop culture, there is the scene where giving a person another name doesn't change him etc. It was a splendid movie overall

 

I get what you're saying

some brilliant bits in the movie - everything with waltz, teh character that young german actor Daniel bruhl plays, and that scene in the bar with fassbender

and the climax scene with all the Nazis crawling over each other trying to escape from the fire and the bullets raining down on them, and the bear jew continuing to pump machine gun rounds into hitler's now unrecognisable corpse. probably the pinnacle of tarantino's post-rd/pf/jb phase
