Watch The Hateful Eight For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Most movies start when this movie pasts 1 hour. I don't like scenes that show us the past suddenly like "10 years ago" but this movie has 6 chapters and we know that because we know Quentin Tarantino has created this movie. Therefore, I could enjoy this long long movie without being bored but excited.

I saw this movie recently after a recommendation.. I didn't know what is about except it is in the old west during winter with characters that seems to be rough!!So.. Almost two third of the movie was an introduction to most of the characters.. some of them were little easy to understand or at least with obvious and clear intentions.. the others were not easy to pick up what their intentions.. that introduction was slow and detailed a little. Afterward things escalated for short time and then a slow reveal of a main mystery (that the viewer might not aware of!!) that used pieces of information that the viewer wasn't aware of as well or easy to miss in long dialogues.. at the end there was an extreme tension and the viewer will make speculations (even after the movie finishes!). It is a enjoyable movie to watch (and hear!). The capture of the winter atmosphere was superb (but most of the scenes were inside a cabin).. and the main acting staff were a core attraction for this movie for their capabilities to show us the essence of the characters before the clear reveal of every one's intention. The plot wasn't hard to absorb but the long dialogues can make some viewers lose interest and focus as most of the fast and light action happen near the end of the movie!

Now, I'm not writing this review to be "helpful". I'm just voicing my opinion on it as a whole. I stumbled upon this title on Netflix with hardly any knowledge of it, the actors involved, or even its plot. The beginning was somewhat strange, but the setting was somewhat immersive to me, so I stuck with watching it. As the plot thickened and the characters became more involved with each other, I found it kind of hard to get out of my seat for the nearly 3 hours that the movie was on.The suspenseful events that unfold during the movie (especially when it came down to the mystery aspect) really kept my mind focused, and got me involved with the character portrayal and each of their roles in this tiny cabin that most of it takes part in. The gruesome and "expected-but-unexpected" things that happen during this film didn't distract me from the rest of the plot, and kept engaged and focusing on what would happen next. I will say that if you're just looking for a shoot-em-up western that involves a team of heroes, this is not a movie meant for you. If you can grasp hold of what's going on in the film and take the tiny details into consideration given the fact that it's a mystery that revolves heavily around the characters, I think you'll like the movie.

Ok real talk, anybody giving this movie anything under a 5 is absolutely tripping balls, the kind of person who only watches Fast and Furious and Triple X, and thinks that movies like The Purge and 50 Shades of Grey are classics and standards for storytelling. How can this movie be under average, even when judged purely by "was I entertained or not?" Movies like The Room are rated 3-4, and yet this high quality film is getting 1-3 stars. WTF.As for my 10/10, I understand that raises skepticism, but what it comes down to for me, like all of you, is whether I was highly entertained or not, and for me to be entertained I need great dialogue and great characters. And this movie has fantastic characters and fantastic dialogues. And every moment throughout this movie I was captivated and wanted to know what was going to happen next. AND, it is NOT predictable. This movie navigates the complex space of 8+ characters whose fates have overlapped in a small outpost during a blizzard, and as the story unfolds so do, in parallel, the complex personalities and relationships these characters have with each other. For some pasts are intertwined, for others the future, and for everyone the present. Not one of these characters is good or bad, they are just people with their own motives, life experiences and understandings. I think that those people saying that there are strong political undertones in this movie, they are just projecting and it's something they've carried with themselves into this viewing experience. I did not even think there was anything like that until I read some reviews on here. All I saw a story told in a snapshot of time.Highly recommend this movie -- reserve an evening, put your phones and distractions away, turn the lights and noises off, and hit the play button.
