Tarantino's worst film, but still watchable

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2016)

I did laugh a handful of times. There was also some decent dialogue other than the witty banter but only some. Compared to Quentin's other films, The Hateful Eight was mindless. I wonder if the leaked script had something to do with this mediocre writing effort. And when I say mediocre, I mean mediocre when compared to Quentin's other films.
The violence felt gratuitous and so totally unnecessary. None of the characters were really on screen long enough to like or hate for that matter...and so don't expect to root for or against anyone in this film.
On the bright side, I thought this film was excellently directed. The old Tarantino formula returns here, and I always enjoyed his stage play style of film-directing.
Overall a 6/10. I liked it, but I don't think I'll be watching this one again. Then again, I always say that about Tarantino films and I always wind up watching them again!
