Tarantinos eighth film fails to blow you away

Rating: 5/10 (21 January 2016)

The hateful eight starts of slow. Before the interval came, half of the movie was Kurt Russel and Samuel L Jackson talking about things that were not related to anyway. I expected these small things would mean something in the later part of the movie but no. I would say 80% of the movie was actually pretty boring except for that sweet/suspenseful music score. Lots of war talk. Lots of black hate. Lots of "This is my bounty" and threatening talk. And in the end, the movie ends in a not so "oh wow" moment. There were no twist. There were no turns. The scene plays out like a straight arrow which left me very unsatisfied. I thought Tarantinos movie would have more depth and meaning. But that was it.
Overall an OK film.
