I like Tarantino's style and this movie oozes that style, so it was easy for me to like...

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2016)

"The Hateful Eight": At this point if you go into a Tarantino movie and aren't sure what to expect then you've probably never seen a Tarantino movie. You should usually expect a good time with some fun characters, a lot of vulgar language with some racial slurs and even a few big buckets of blood. That is exactly what I received with this only in gorgeous 70mm Cinema Scope. Seriously, the cinematography was great in this film. And yes, I saw it in the Road Show with my amazing girlfriend who was more than willing to drive me about an hour away to see it on the BIG screen. This was a really good movie, out of the Quentin Tarantino film roster; I wouldn't say that this was my favorite of his because I do have a couple of issues with some of the editing choices and odd narration inserts planted a couple times in the movie. I still was more than thrilled that I got the chance to see the movie. I love Tarantino as a director and writer; he's made some of my favorite films of all time, such as "Jackie Brown", "Pulp Fiction", and "Reservoir Dogs". He's a talented guy that has done another amazing job on a movie here.
The film is about a group of men and one woman locked up in a cabin together over a night, one of the men is bounty hunter holding a prisoner to be hung by the neck. He believes that one of the other men isn't who they say they are and there is a lot of mistrust between them, of course. Twists and turns and a hell of a lot of cool dialogue between the characters, we have our movie. I'm not going to get too much into the movie because I believe it is worth seeing in the theater, especially if you love Quentin Tarantino. Between his two westerns, I would put "Django Unchained" above this movie, but I still really dug this one. So if you have the chance, I strongly say go see this where it is playing the Road Show version of it because you get some extra footage not seen in the other version, the full scope of the environment with its fantastic cinematography, an opening overture, an intermission, and a cool little booklet that talks about the making of the film. That's my two cents on the subject anyhow, if you see this in a regular old theater I don't believe you'll feel disappointed by any means, I just believe that you'd be missing out on a really cool experience is all. Either way, go check it out!
