Hateful waste of time and talent.

Rating: 5/10 (7 February 2016)

Firstly I'm a Tarantino fan but I also know what constitutes entertainment
Having just watched The Hateful 8 I can understand why this movie has divided so many people. What I can't work out is the high rating.
I would rank this among the most overrated work yet from this director.Until now Deathproof and Inglorious vied for that honour but this is leagues ahead in every department.
Everyone by now knows the story and the premise of the movie. 8 hateful people in a room.
The pace was like " molasses ", the unnecessary narration and the clumsy plot tell of the coffee were neither clever or imaginative. It was as if someone thought half way through the script they should hurriedly make sense of something.
Dern, Goggins and Russell were good with Roth turning into a Christoph Waltz impersonator, Lee just being manic, Jackson being Jackson and everyone else looking disinterested.
Semi political overtones and meaning lend nothing to the film least of all the totally hamfisted scene of Jackson walking a naked man through the snow.
Too long by half, juvenile dialogue and an assumption by the film makers that the public will be taken in by the directors name over the title.
On the plus side the scenery and the score were great.
It may be Tarantino's 8TH film. It's definitely his worst.
See it for yourself and be honest.
