Review of The Hateful Eight (2015)

STORY OF JULES WINNFIELD'S GRANDFATHER

I think its only a proper to start this year's cinemas for one of my favorite directors of all time, Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight.

My first impression of the movie was OK. It wasn't as good as hes previous work Django Unchained. The dialogue was awesome classic Tarantino, characters were interesting and well acted ecpecially Jennifer Jason Leigh. I think she was eating the scenary everytime she was on it. Even Samuel L. Jackson gave slightly different performance than hes usual acting jobs are. It was also good to see Tim Roth (who was awesome in this movie) and Michael Madsen together in Tarantino movie after Reservoir Dogs. Action was gory and violent like in Django and the music was great. Glad to hear Morricone's work in a western after forty years which he master best.

I think the main problems that i had with this movie was, that it was too long and the reveal of the murder plot was too easy to guess. Normally i don't have almost nothing bad to say Tarantino's movies. I think those are perfect on their own way, but the problems rised up when the script leaked in the internet and Tarantino needed to change it so much that he has to leave the best parts out. I know it's a challenge to place entire movie in a one room, but some scenes seemed just filling the length of the movie.
The way i saw this movie coming out, was a murder mystery in a wild west. So of course i was waiting twists and jaw dropping reveals, but those were easily predictable.
This wasn't Tarantino at his best but it wasn't a bad movie either, because there is no such a thing than a bad Tarantino movie. It definitely deserve those three Golden Globes nominees. If you are hardcore Quentin fan like me, you should definitely check it out!
