Tarantino's expression of self-love

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2017)

The movie had great moments, some interesting Tarantinoesque dialogues, and the visual cinematography was wonderful. For these reasons, I give it a 7. However, this movie is too long, had moments that felt out of place, and definitely had the potential to be a great film.
What could have been a fantastic 2-hour movie was turned into a 167 minutes movie for very poor reasons. "The Thing", which Tarantino saw as the main influence for this movie, was capable of creating a similar atmosphere in 109 minutes. Was the Hateful Eight so special that it deserved a whole extra hour?
I like Tarantino's style, and Kill Bill is one of my all-time favourite. The Hateful Hate felt like an exaggeration of that style, the worse being the random dialogues that never end (and at times, seemed to come from Tarantino instead of coming from the characters) and the beautiful and very long tracking shots.
