Decent, but not great.

Rating: 7/10 (27 March 2019)

I like Tarrantino's movies. Pulp Fiction is my all time favourite.
Hateful Eight, in my view, is Tarrantino's weakest movie. It's all rather pointless, as far as the story goes. The acting is great, it looks amazing, but the story just isn't there.
It's meandering along, decently enough, but then randomly, three quarters of the way through, out of nowhere, Tarrantino starts narrating. Took me out of the movie, it was quite jarring. It was as if he didn't know what to do next so he literally explained the next couple of hours of the story away, just to skip some time.
Samuel L Jackson's monologue (you'll know which bit I mean if and when you watch it) is awful. I understood the point of it, to provoke someone else, but it just seemed unnecessary.
I'm ok with pretty much anything in films, if it's a decent film, and has a real point. Violence, sex/nudity, language, but that story from Jackson was just a waste of time.
Anyway, if you're a fan, give it a go, you might love it. If you e never watched a Tarrantino film before, perhaps try Inglorious Basterds or Pulp Fiction (Jackie Brown is excellent and underrated), as they're far superior.
