I can't understand what people find so great about this movie? 36% of the voters gave it either 9 or 10 stars. Don't get me wrong its a decent movie with great performances but it was a 6/10 for me. I know movie is just entertainment and its value is subjective to ones choice and preference. But I was just wondering where the disconnect was between me and those 36% of the people.
shareI'm surprised it was that low on IMDb. This was tarantino's best film since pulp fiction. And kept me engaged throughout in one room too ala 12 angry men.
shareYeah for this one, I needed a nice Blu-ray copy . It really was one of his best movies. Watching it a second time you notice like a whole set of new things about the characters behavior little nuances and expressions, details. It honestly should have been in the best picture category. Maybe too edgy with the Oscars are white thing or whatever. This movie will age well. Let it sink in some.
shareYeah I was expecting an 8.5 at least.
But I guess my 8 didnt help that. I just have to be really blown away to give a 9 or a 10.
I think when more people watch this on DVD or Blu Ray or whatever people watch *beep* on now, it will probaby go up to a 8.5 in time.
But I was just wondering where the disconnect was between me and those 36% of the people.
LOL - Agreed. It makes me suspect on IMDB scores.
This movie was garbage.....whatever happened to Tarantino (every dog has its day)
Pulp Fiction, Resorvoir Dogs, The Sicilian scene from True Romance, Jackie Brown...Even Dusk Till Dawn (opening half hour was awesome)
Then a Kung-Fu film (copy and pasted from eastern movies)and then another...Then among some garbage we had Inglourious (not a slick Tarantino film (zzzzzzzz)and then Django (WTF) take our Di Caprio and Waltz and you have an over-rated pile of dung!
FACT - Tarantino was caught lying about the Tim Roth character...he claims it was made for him, however he also claimed this film was set in the same universe as Django (Before casting Roth)and he has used reoccurring characters before and Waltz is a european actor I don't think he wanted to play that again!
I´m a Tarantino fan but I´d rank this one lower on the list. I´d give it a 5 and I´m being merciful.
shareIn my opinion. 7.9 is too low. It seems richer on second viewing and I would agree with one of the above posters that its among his best, and easily among the year's best.
shareI gave it another shot and it was still bad :(

It was brilliant through the final confrontation between Samuel L Jackson's and Bruce Dern's characters. That part was shocking but still possible, realistic, added to the overall arc, and well-played. THe poisoning sequence that followed
was good, but what it led to was the end of any good aspects to the film.
After that, the movie became pointless, unrealistic, and truly offensive, with the time regression chapter of how the haberdashery (cabin) was taken over earlier, with the execution of innocents in a gory and pointless attempt to establish the bad character of Daisy's 'gang'. What was done to Daisy wasn't properly justified by what we saw on screen. The overuse of the word B was beyond explanation.
I give it a 9 up until the point I note, then a 0 from there until the ending.
I actually liked it, and I didn't like Pulp Fiction. I loved the ending because I was hoping they killed that damn lady.
shareI know it's not a very good idea to look at the forum for a movie you have not seen, but still, you should be more curtious and not spoil the ending of the movie. It's an *beep* thing to do. You didn't spoil it for me because I've seen it..... But still.
*Life is great. Without it, you'd be dead*
Eh, I tried not to spoil it by giving any specifics, but I just remember she was the only woman present in the whole movie. 😱
Anyways, I make it a rule not to go to any forums if I don't want anything spoiled. Someone spoiled House of Cards for me, but if I'm hanging around a forum, I deserved it.
She most definitely was NOT the only woman in the movie!
sharebecause I was hoping they killed that damn lady.
I liked it, I don't love it. I enjoyed it more than Django and Inglorious Bastards though.
shareI preferred the other two. Technically well done movie, but it just felt empty and predictable.
shareI think pretty much most of his films feel empty
shareThey actually do.
I mean, he's clearly an outstanding writing talent. And some of the highly original characters he's able to create do provide much needed relief from those repetitive mainstream movie stereotypes indeed. But there's no denying that he severely lacks in the overall substance department.
I was quite glad already to see him somewhat hop off that laborsome revenge fantasy train headed to nowhere. Gave me some hope that he maybe made up his mind and decided to try and grow up after all.
Not untrue. Some of the Shtick gets tired. I felt like True Romance, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir dogs had more going for them overall. 2/3rds of Django was great and Basterds was pretty good. Jackie Brown pretty good. Can't get into Kill Bill at all.
shareI'm going to share my very personal perspective.
Reservoir Dogs was ok but a bit of a technical exercise. Like measuring the heartbeat of good movie making. And the only guy who elevated the whole thing a notch was the cop.
I mean, the moment you hear him saying that he knew the identity of Roth's character all along, that's also a moment where you hear yourself suck in some air.
Pulp Fiction was a tremendously lovely, playful plunge into vacuity.
Jackie Brown I thought had a genuine human touch.
And from then on, if any of those had been made or not I wouldn't care. But if you happened to like one I wouldn't intervene either.
Except this one. The very, very least you could say about this film is that it really does require repeated viewings and letting sink in to be able to appreciate both, its strengths and weaknesses. And that's saying a lot.
But I would go a step further, even. It somewhat rewards the effort you put into it, too. Maybe not completely, just like I said in above post. But it certainly doesn't feel like time wasted.
Plus it's a really gripping film. Never sagged a moment for me.
This seemed about right to me. Agree with the poster that said "lots of things" influence each of our opinions. As I watched it I was torn between an 8 and a 7. In the end went with a 7 because his "over-the-top" slaughter-house gore style is too much of a distraction. I get that he's known for it, and I don't find it all that disturbing, but it's always just one notch over to the point that it draws my attention from the film experience.
What I loved about Hateful 8 is that from the start it did an excellent job of building tension, creating interesting characters, did a good job of having those characters "tell" the audience the backstory, and also made excellent use of narrative order allowing us to know more as we become invested in the film and need to know more. His political leanings are always a bit heavy handed ("stylized" in their own way), but tolerable when not distracting. All in all a great film and worthy of our time and attention in the days of the popcorn-flicks factory that is modern hollywood.
Can feel that. Incredibly tough decision. What did I get. What have I got to give. 7. 8. It's never that easy.
shareOh Well I checked the top 1000 Imdb users average ratings and it was 6.
shareOh really. Is that bad or good news?
shareIt doesn't really matter. Its just a movie, either you like it or not. I was just bored and wondering as to why so many people like it and I don't. Well I figured there could be a million different reasons to it. I was just being an idiot and thats it.
shareWell, what could I say. Good luck on your further quest why it is.
And thanks so much for providing us with such eminent stats. The moment you brought them forward it felt like I had been waiting for them all my life.
You think Man of Steel and BvS are on par/better than Hateful Eight, and you wonder why there is a discrepancy between you and people who love this film?
You indeed are an idiot, but it really goes further than that I think.
i think i gave it a 8 or 9. it was very good. saw it twice in one day
i've got feelings too, ya know - inbetweeners
