Tarantino can (and has) done better than this.

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2018)

I finally managed to watch "The Hateful Eight". I pretty much hyped myself up for this film (after all, Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors and screenwriters), and I even saw people saying that this is his best film since "Pulp Fiction"... which is really saying a lot.
Unfortunately, I was not a big fan of this film. I personally felt like Tarantino just tried to reimagine "Reservoir Dogs", but set it after the Civil War... and in the winter... and with racists... and a LOT less interesting.
PROS:

The acting in this movie was pretty great overall. I will never say anything bad about Samuel L. Jackson. If he's in a movie, I'm in. If he's in a Tarantino movie, I don't have a choice. And in this movie, he's great as always.

I also really liked Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Their relationship was kinda funny to see, even though she hits her multiple times (trust me, she deserves it) and is handcuffed to her the whole movie.
Walton Coggins was also pretty interesting to see on-screen.

As usual, the dialogue in the film was great. There was a lot of witty banter between characters that I thought was really interesting.

CONS:

This movie did not have to be as long as it was. It was 2 hours 28 minutes (I saw it on Netflix, so it didn't include the 15 minute intermission) long, and it unfortunately stretched its story thin throughout the film's runtime. And frankly, it kinda sucked.
The overall twist was kinda lame and anticlimatic. Of course, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody who wants to watch it. All I'll say is that I didn't like it.

Overall, this is the only Tarantino film I've watched (haven't seen "Jackie Brown" yet) that I would NOT like to watch another time. All of his other films are so much better than this.
If I had to rank his films from worst to best (excluding "Jackie Brown", "Sin City", and "Death Proof"), it would be "The Hateful Eight", "Kill Bill: Vol 2", "Django Unchained", "Kill Bill: Vol 1", "Inglorious Basterds", "Reservoir Dogs", and then "Pulp Fiction".
