The Hateful Eight [Blu-ray]

Tarantino's best film in my opinion, but maybe I am biased towards westerns, mysteries, and interesting dialogue. It looks crisp on Blu-ray at a nice 1080p. No problems with the case or disk. This is a good one for inclement days.

Great movie…seen it twice

For the physical product itself, totally awesome. The case is well made and the slip-cover is textured and such. Really cool. Even opens up to some art of the eight and the cabin. For the movie itself, also awesome! Don't get me wrong, it's slow as all hell. I mean.. really slow. It's 3 hours of conversations peppered with some blood, gore, and violence. I'd say 95% of the movie is probably just people talking but that's exactly why I love it. Each character has a past that they talk about which helps them feel more fleshed out. They didn't just show up and exist for the sake of the movie. They have histories that were brought into play and the acting accompanying these histories is just beautiful. It's like a game of Clue except everyone playing in a racist, foul-mouthed a**hat that's lived a messed up life and wants to take it out on everyone else. As far as I'm concerned, all of the 1-star reviews are coming from folks with short attention spans that need explosions, 2 minutes of dialogue and then more explosions. Some are upset about the avid use of the N word throughout the film but considering this movie is about a bunch of civil war vets, uneducated gang members and other mountain folk in the late 1800's, I don't see why they would censor anything they have to say and you bet your a** a good deal of them had a lot of hatred to spew in every which way. I think the dialogue, acting and overall plot are totally time-appropriate and make the entire movie a lot of fun. The story isn't about some grand adventure to save the world or kill Hitler. It's the story of some folks who end up in a cabin together and madness ensues. If you love Tarantino's dialogue throughout his previous films and the way the characters talk to one another, you'll love this film. If you can't pay attention to people telling a story for a few hours and you'd rather see explosions for 3 hours or loads of other eye-candy, go watch Transformers. I hear there's another mind-numbing installment of that in the works.

Ordered by mistake already saw it. Couldn’t cancel it

What needs to be said? This movie is amazing. The dialogue, the performances, the tension, and the slow-burn storytelling all come together perfectly. It's one of those movies I can watch over and over without getting tired of it. If you're a Tarantino fan, this is an easy recommendation.

The characters are grim, but the story line is great and...well, the cast is superb! Samuel L. Jackson - need I say more? Kurt Russell also has a great role and damn, Jennifer Jason Leigh has definitely grown since Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Well worth watching.

One of the best westerns I have seen in a long time love the movie

This is an excellent movie, though it is also definitely shocking. Of course, with Director Quentin Tarantino who was also the writer for this tale, that is all to be expected. Tarantino literally pulls no punches in his film making, and this movie certainly continues in that trend. Persons familiar with some of Tarantino's earlier works (especially Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray ], or Kill Bill Vol. 1 [Blu-ray Steelbook + Digital HD ]) would of course just note that violence and shock are par for the course in any Tarantino movie. Personally, I have no problem with that, though, uh, I must admit that in the beginning of this flick I was most definitely shocked at the violence. By the end of the film though, the violence wasn't just expected, and wasn't just shocking, it was cheered on. To say more would give too much away, and I really don't want to do that. This film deserves to be viewed and experienced, so I'll spare the plot points and major details and simply say it is an experience and is worth it. To me this is a 5 star film. The award winning sound track was perfectly paired with the film and definitely moving. The story was, if at times predictable, also enjoyable and one that I wanted to keep seeing the next scenes unfold from. Full of stars, many of which we've seen previously in other Tarantino films, all of whom delivered quality performances even as they used dialogue that might not be so easy to get through. Looking sharp on Blu-ray and worth the purchase price to add to my collection. I'd encourage others to add it to theirs as well.

Even though there are a lot here that say this is a masterpiece of which I concur wholeheartedly with, I will take it a little further than that, and say it’s sumptuously with it’s whole package an deliciously makes my heart tender with delight, an don’t forget Glee, “The Hateful Eight” is a masterpiece in it’s own right no doubt about it, but the thing I love about it is, it’s the build up to it’s final conclusion, an so that I’ve seen here some people seem to think that others wont like it that way, I Think I can judge for myself whether that works for me or not, I think so, if you can’t understand the preparation it took for all the dialogue for every scene that can hold your attention for so long you just don’t have fait in speaking or listening to anything, understanding seems like a big step for people these days, I guess the abbreviated social media got them stump for words, an it’s even harder when you tell the truth, what’s the best thing here is, there was only fifteen people in the movie an it work to perfection, the original Eight an the two cooks (woman) the helper an the girl in the Davey-crochet out-fit an the man in the chair, plus Daisy Domergue brother, that was a shock to see my goodness I’ll leave it at that, an plus I’ve seen a lot of movies when people use the big N” word but in this one it was used in the most peculiar an funny way that I don’t think was offence, at least not to me, an especially when Walton Goggins was trying to say Daisy’s last name “Domergue” I couldn’t stop laughing, for laughing sake, I don’t know how Quentin Tarantino come up with that name, he must’ve been laughing, like i was, This Is A Masterpiece..An I Love It.. Love It.

Good movie.

Stupendo

Once again a few years back saw this film and enjoyed looking at it,
