The Hateful Eight - Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray]

Love the Tarantino movies! The dvd case came broken so I just put the dvd in one of my dvd case's.Recommend this movie if you enjoy Tarantino movies.

Good movie, came fast

What was I expecting from a movie called “The hateful eight”? This movie somehow makes me regret watching it and not regretting watching it as well. 10/10 would recommend for laughs, Giggles, shock factors.

I liked a lot about The Hateful Eight. Nobody is innocent in this film. The way it plays out kept me absorbed to the characters, and each actor does a great job in bringing their part to life. Overall, it's a pretty good film, but we are going to have to talk about the problems too.It's excessively gory at times, even beyond realism. I guess it's all just in the nature of the film, but there are things I probably would not have done. The haberdashery stuff just seems pretty mean all told, but it was rough country at times.There is absolutely no reason for Tarantino to inject himself into the film to narrate a couple parts further along, and I don't understand the need to break the 4th wall here. He didn't do it for well over an hour, so why do it for a whole 30 seconds in two parts?Honestly, I wanted to be immersed in the setting and the characters, not necessarily described scenes that could have been easily shown to the viewer without breaking the wall. Sure, for some films it works, but for this one I felt like it was an unneeded distraction. Not a huge deal of course, just something to note. I also felt a little of the dialog was a bit too modern for my tastes. People will differ in how they approach that.While the setup was pretty good, overall the whole haberdashery plot was a bit far-fetched. I'll play along for the story, and while it was seemingly fairly realistic to start with, it really does kind of get more comical than real toward the end, and I guess I still value realism more. And being Tarantino I think the comical stuff is sometimes a bit too much in his films after Jackie Brown for my personal preference. I get the irony, but sometimes it's a little crazy just to be crazy these days. But the sardonic way it is presented is usually for the better.There is a manic glee to the violence that keeps trying to nudge us into the realization of irony, but at times it's almost like beating a dead horse. Overall, the themes running through this film are relevant, they just need to be searched for in a more keen way. Context is everything in a film like this, which is why I wish it was just a bit more realistic and less over the top. At least it is toned down from Django levels of absurdity. Sam Jackson does a great job here too, and his character really brings home a few of the scenes making them intensely dramatic. In fact, ALL of these actors do a tremendous job in making this film feel authentic.Quentin does a little slow mo here and there and a couple of optical tricks that seem a little overdone in places, but it is altogether very well shot and framed. The settings, details, and everything else are spot on.So here we are with another Tarantino film, and much like Basterds or really anything after Jackie Brown, there is a weird fantastical element to all of these films that I don't quite love but still respect. Four starts for a pretty good time though. QT is a talented filmmaker, and this was an interesting take. I think it falls apart a tiny bit near the end, but a lot of cinema lovers should enjoy this one.

The Hateful is a classic film. All star cast and a great story.

Comes brand new for 5 bucks. Absolute reccommend

Great movie!

Interesting plot, but depressing movie.
