Just finished the extended version which I liked way more than the theatrical cut. The characters are far more fleshed out, there are more clever set ups and foreshadowing. It's a different experience from the film and worth a watch for both fans and those who've never seen it.
NOTE: There was one frame that wasn't rendered in episode 3 which was very odd. Please fix that Netflix. This crew didn't bust their asses to shoot this in 70mm just to have an intern not render the export properly.

I wasn’t prepared for this. Obviously, I went into The Hateful Eight with the same expectations as I do with every newly-minted Tarantino flick. I wanted snappy dialogue, grand moments of violence, and masterful sequences of flourishing character, and I got all of that, for sure. However, I didn’t expect to walk out of the theater with a stupid grin on my face, barely able to walk because of the rampaging poignancy and blazing hatred woven through every frame. Going even further, I also wasn’t ready to ponder the question of whether The Hateful Eight was legitimately my new ‘favorite film’.
Yeah, you read that right. Hell, even I was stunned. A new Tarantino? My F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E film? What the…
Review by Todd Gaines ★★★★ 70

It's winter in Wyoming, post-Civil War, USA. A bounty hunter, his $10,000 female bounty, another bounty hunter, a recently elected sheriff, an old war general, a hangman, a silent cowboy, and some fella named Bob all cross paths at Minnie's Haberdashery. Who can be trusted? Where's Minnie? Will it ever stop snowing? It's QT's 8th film about 8 hateful people. Now, who wants a drag from a Red Apple tobacco hand rolled cigarette?
Not only was 2015 the year of the western, but it's the year of the Kurt Russell mustache. My lord! From Bone Tomahawk to The Hateful Eight, Kurt's facial hair is fuckfabulous. You can't help but think of John Carpenter's The Thing. People trapped in the snow.…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Let's get the "problematic" (someday I'll be able to use that word without air quotes again) stuff out of the way first:
Is the film misogynistic? Hard to believe anyone who's seen Tarantino's other movies (especially Death Proof) would even entertain that suspicion, and it doesn't hold up in a vacuum, either. One could interpret the ending (and many have) as a statement that misogyny trumps racism, but that observation is arguably feminist, and at the very least productively provocative; there's no indication whatsoever that Tarantino hates women. I'd argue instead that Daisy's gender is pretty close to irrelevant—or, to the extent that it is relevant, it's a nod toward being inclusive/subverting expectations. (And, yes, QT enjoys toying with…

Watched the “Extended Version” on Netflix, which means I finally got to see this movie the way Quentin Tarantino intended: Awkwardly chopped into four episodes on my iPhone.

Review by Evan ★★★★½ 17

The deadliest, bloodiest, and most entertaining game of Clue ever played.
Samuel L. Jackson and Walton Goggins were fucking fantastic. All of the performances were GREAT, but those two were the standouts for me.
Quentin Tarantino has once again created an all around well-made film. The writing is great. The dialogue is top-notch. The cast is freaken awesome. The performances are amazing. The action is absolutely brutal. And the visuals are incredible. Wether you like Tarantino's films or not; you can't say he doesn't know what he's doing.
The Hateful Eight is a bloody good time with some very memorable characters.

Review by Ryan Bailey ★★★★

While a very dark and brutal tale, it’s beauty shines through. A tale of unlikeliness such as this is extremely enjoyable, even if it does feel a tad bit too long.
Review by maxberger ★★★★

Even Tarantino at his worst is better than most directors at their best. This movie is long, repetitive to an exasperating degree, and has some weird moments that I don't like. But it also has a brilliant cast, memorable characters, and classically sharp Tarantino dialogue.
Review by Arthur Hickman ★★★★

I saw this at the DGA. Afterward Paul Thomas Anderson interviewed Quentin Tarantino and it sucked because they just complimented each other for an hour.
Review by SaltKnight ★

Perfect title. It is a hateful, gross movie. Only plus is that Jackson can act his way out of any script when he wants to and he is giving it here. Honestly feels like a first draft before Tarantino figured out what the movie was gonna be about.
Review by tatehardy ★★★★★

Tarantino did it again, for a nearly three hour movie I find myself invested in the story each time I watch it. It’s is a classic murder mystery with like any other murder mystery a shocking twist. This is a true story of cabin fever and what isolation does to a group f people. Samuel L. Jackson’s performance was phenomenal like most of his.

وأخيرًا انتهت الثلاث ساعات الي مو راضيه تخلص

كان الفلم جميل في بدايته لكن سرعان ما بدا يصير ممل بالنسبه لي ، تمثيل سامويل جاكسون وايضا وكورت رسل ، بس ما كان سيء بالنسبه اي بقد ما كان طويل وحسيت بملل كثير بالفلم ولكن اتفهم اني اخطات اني شفت الفلم قبل معرفتي بعدة احداث حصلت بالحرب الاهليه ، ولكن عجبتني القصه وعجبني سردها ولكن ما عجبني طولها هو اقل فلم للاسف من كل افلام تارينتينو الي شفتها.
It was not bad
Review by Dave Wheelroute ★★★★

I always knew it was cynical and it's obvious from the title alone that it's cynical. It's just way more cynical than I remember it being. But still, the dialogue is crackling, Walton Goggins is next level, and that final reading of the letter is somehow moving.
Review by Collin Basnight ★★★★

“‘Old Mary Todd’. That’s a nice touch.”
The Hateful Eight was one of two Tarantino-helmed films we didn’t get the pleasure of watching in class, the other being Deathproof, which I still have yet to see. Being that I have The Hateful Eight on blu-ray, I figured it only appropriate that before going to see Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood tonight, I give it a well deserved rewatch.
The last time I saw it was in theaters, back in 2015. That was the year I turned 17, and I believe that this film was in fact that first rated-R film I went and saw without a parent. Needless to say, my friend Kameron, who I saw it with, and…
Review by Sandro Rios ★★★½

A great example of a one-location drama that just works.
