A very calculating Tarantino film that is definitely worth watching

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2016)

So I saw The Hateful Eight and it pretty much met my expectations. It was a really great western style movie with great dialogue. While it never really went above and beyond my expectations for a Quentin Tarantino movie, it was still really great. Overall this might be one of the best acted Tarantino movies I've seen. It has really fantastic fleshed, and unique character who all have great chemistry. Even smaller character like James Park and Channing Tatum were unique and solid characters that really added to the movie as whole. Jennifer Jason Leigh is actually really fantastic in this movie and is now part of the ever growing list of great female performances from this year. Another thing that's great about this movie is the score. It adds so much to the movies fantastic tone and is really reminiscent of older westerns. This movie is actually not as over the top as most Tarantino films like Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds were. It does get extremely bloody at some points but it's very calm and calculated which is what made it so great. Not to mention, the stunning visuals and great cinematography. Something else that made this so great, which can be seen in some of his other movies like Reservoir Dogs, but especially in this one, is that this movie felt EXTREMELY like it was written like a play. Especially the way all the characters are visible just hanging out, even though they aren't the focus of the scene. That sad, let me just say, seeing this in 70mm is most definitely a necessity to truly experience this movie. My problem with the movie was in the end I won't say what it was but if you've seen it you might know. Let's just say it has to do with a rope and how the hell they we're able to do that in their given state. Over all this was pretty great and everyone should check it out.
