Tarantino's still a genius!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2016)

The 8th film of writer/director Quentin Tarantino. The Hateful 8 delivers what audiences would expect from him, a mixture of over-the top violence, smart and punchy dialogue, and unpredictable plot.
The film plays like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. It tells a story about a group of strangers, trapped in a cabin in the middle of blizzard, in old west. The people soon find themselves trapped in a bloody plot of betrayal and deception.
Without further ado, I'll describe the good and the bad of this movie:
1. Unpredictable plot with satisfying twist and conclusion 2. The way the mystery being revealed slowly will keep the audiences on the edge of their seats. 3. Despite the film being a mystery thriller, its plot's pretty simple and straightforward and is easy to follow 4. Very stylized, it's very entertaining to watch it especially if you are a Tarantino's fanboy 5. Cool over the top violence 6. Channing Tatum delivered (surprisingly) fine performance. his character seemed really intimidating 7. The script is impeccably written, with a significant amount of characters, you can remember all of them! 8. Never felt boring once in 187 minutes 9. The cinematography and the musical score is perfect! 10. High production merit, the film's visual is high quality and will become a enjoyable eye candy, especially if you watch it on Big Screen 11. For Tarantino's fanboys, you'll experience Tarantino-gasm for 3 hours!
Even thought I give this movie 10 stars, nothing is perfect, there is still some weaknesses of this movie.
1. It's hard to root for the characters. Even thought they are all interesting individuals, they are all basically d**kheads 2. A waste of 70mm film stocks as 95% of the film takes place INDOOR! 3. Almost 100% of this movie is about talking (Tarantino, everyone!). Even though the dialogue is impeccable, it will be less appealing for general audiences. 4. If you're not a Tarantino's fanboy, maybe it's hard for you to really like this film i believe.
