Good

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2016)

The Hateful Eight is a dialogue driven film that is highly entertaining and enthralling enough. Of Tarantino's films, this ranks up there with the best, and in the recent years it is better than both Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained...by a mile, and they were pretty good. I guess the question isn't if this movie is or was good, but rather where it stands and ranks in Tarantino's best. I would put it just below Pulp Fiction, and just above Kill Bill Vol. 1, about tied with Jackie Brown, but surprisingly slightly better. It is definitely one of his best. Don't listen to the negative reviews. This is definitely a good film and I went in to watching it skeptical because I heard some criticism. One of the biggest was the length, but I actually didn't notice it really. It's long, but you just have to put up with it. I enjoyed the character developments, mystery, tension, and screenplay that extended the time. Overall, this is definitely a good movie and much better than Django Unchained, which also had a similar western style to it.
