Review of The Hateful Eight (2015) by Fastpoose — 16 Jan 2016
Worst movie I've seen in while, and yes I'm a big fan of Tarantino movies.
SPOILER ALERTS: First few conversations are interesting with Russell and Jackson, then every other conversation (there are many, way too many) becomes bloated and extremely boring. QT used to have a talent of making conversations between characters really interesting and funny, not in this movie. The script is total trash. After 2 hours of crap conversation I was over it, especially after the 'gay' oral sex rape scene...
Obviously QT has an axe to grind re US history and racism, and QT went for a record on how many times the word ni##a could be used, it gets very old and boring about 30mins in...
Tim Roth's character was rubbish and his 'speeches' were pointless and unbelievable. The mexican character started well then was never used properly. It was essentially a movie where the overblown script ruined every chance to connect with any character, much of the movie should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Then there was the narration from QT about 70mins in, where I thought I was listening to a Directors cut special on a DVD, it was so bad, and also ruined any tension that may (or may not) have been building.
