Self Indulgent

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2016)

The Hateful Eight is an self indulgent movie. The acting is okay and the dialogues occasionally funny, but the plot is really thin and do not justify in any way a running time that long.
This is the core of the problem with The Hateful Eight: it is long, empty and wears out its welcome. The version I saw was 2h47 and I shudder at the thought there's a 3h07mn version out there.
I can think of at least 2 whole chapters and a bunch of scenes that could have been edited out without affecting the ending or atmosphere, and really The Hateful Eight would have been a better, stronger and tighter film at 1h45mn, 2hours max.
