  Review by Ralph ★★★★ 38

  Just finished the extended version which I liked. The characters are 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.

  100/100

  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…

  "Youuuu gonnaaaa maaaake aaaa deaaalll
  withhh thissss diaaabolicaaalll biiiiiiiiitch!?!"

  Hugely visceral & downright disgusting.
  Tarantino's best film since the 1990s.
  Jennifer Jason Leigh steals the show.
  (Honorable mention for Goggins, obviously.)

  QT's meanest and nastiest film goes straight to the jugular of American race war, a fuck you to everyone and everything that offers only one prescription for the evils of our history: that Johnny Reb and the Black Man must unite to fight the real enemy... lying, no good bitches.

  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 16

  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 Todd Gaines ★★★★ 75

  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.…
