    Ill copy paste my 2 reviews here:

    Just finished Hateful Eight. This film has no humanity to it. Just an exercise in neo-realistic dialog with boring characters and a boring premise. In one week I went from idealistic futurism (star wars) to a dreadful trip through hell. Tarantino's version of clue... And less entertaining.

    I hated the Hateful 8. It was the worst movie I viewed all year. It was shockingly bad... the characters were not memorable, the humor childish, it had shit editing, the photography was bland for 70mm... just not my thing. Roth's imitation of Waltz was terrible and the constant blizzard audio loop? Torture.

    Tarantino really trolled the Weinsteins with this one. That they brought it out in Christmas was even poorer in taste.

    • Really, the cinematography is bland? I haven't seen this yet, but I'm curious, as Richardson's work is typically some of the best out there.nb
    • he tried to shoot a stage play in 70mm, that in itself is erroneous. the outdoor stuff looked ok to me.docpoz
    • it bothered me that they were in a "huge snowstorm" and the hills/mountains in the background had very little or no snow on them.robotron3k
    • Agree. A who-done-it.teh
