Critic Reviews for The Hateful Eight on Moviebuff.com

'The Hateful Eight', is an impressive display of film craft and a profoundly ugly movie - so gleeful in its violence and so nihilistic in its world view

Matt Zoller Seitz, Roger Ebert

Tarantino has failed to offer us something novelistic or relatable here, yes, but his one little success is arguably great enough for you to spend your money

Shreevatsa Nevatia, Mumbai Mirror

The writer/director’s latest delivers everything that fans love about his work, and is a wonderful cinematic experience that will be eagerly revisited time and time again in the future

Eric Eisenberg, Cinema Blend

'The Hateful Eight', is never as inventive as some of Tarantino’s previous films, it’s also his slowest, it’s no epic in the end, but it’s still pretty good fun

BookMyShow Source, BookMyShow

By the end of 'The Hateful Eight', it’s crystal clear that you have witnessed something epic, and for as overused as the word “epic”is in modern journalism, this is one such film where it fits the bill

Robert Kojder, Flickering Myth

The movie is well-paced and colorful in its approach, even if there’s not a lot to hang onto by the end

Ben Gruchow, Box Office Prophets

'The Hateful Eight', is Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to his own films

Brooke Corso, The Monitor

This is a film aimed at making us look away because it won’t, it’s time we faced the hate

Sen City Source, Sen City

The movie is a lot of gore over a lot of nothing, i hope that won’t be Tarantino’s epitaph

David Edelstein, Vulture

'The Hateful Eight', is an indulgence

Shalini Langer, Indian Express

If you are a fan of Westerns, great acting, Tarantino and superior filmmaking, 'The Hateful Eight', will be a gift, it’s sensational fun

Pete Hammond, Deadline

We’re in Tarantino territory: too self-indulgently long and overboard with that N-word

Soren Andersen, The Columbus Dispatch

The film forces you to see and feel something on its own terms - in this case, loyalty and identity unraveling under extremes

John Wenzel, The Denver Post

Inarritu keeps it straight, simple and deadly, just like the bear

Cary Darling, Miami Herald

Tarentino did it again, he put 8 characters in a room and captured the attention of the entire cinema hall with his unique style, which no can re-create

Sajid, Cinema Glitz

A racial revenge tale, 'The Hateful Eight', is an entertaining, rollicking film just the way Tarantino serves them

Jyoti Sharma Bawa, Hindustan Times

Watch out for Tarantino's seething subtext in 'The Hateful Eight', it'll nag at your conscience and no way will it let go

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

'The Hateful Eight', is an ultrawide bore

Michael Phillips, Hanford Sentinel

Instead of that hungry, carnivorous filmmaker he once was, it appears that Tarantino is progressing and diverging into new territory

Movie Pilot Source, Moviepilot.com

If you’ve enjoyed Quentin Tarantino movies in the past, or are truly ready to throw yourself into one now, this is an excellent way to spend three hours

Bob Garver, High Country Press

Even as a disappointment, 'The Hateful Eight', still remains an angry, politically charged and fleetingly intelligent western

Mike Sullivan, The Weekender

It’s brash, bold, audacious, politically incorrect, violent as all get out, dialogue-heavy and dripping with pitch-black humor

Michael Clark, Gwinnett Daily Post

'The Hateful Eight', may be the definitive Quentin Tarantino movie that is entertaining and boring at the same tim

Michael Smith, Tulsa World

'The Hateful Eight', is a western omelet served up by Quentin Tarantino with all the trimmings, about half of which we didn’t order and don’t wan

Bill Wine, CBS Local

'The Hateful Eight', is a western, but it’s about the most closed-in western you’ll ever see

Tom Long, The Detroit News

Tarantino has the most fun he has ever had with genre, history and movie history

Drew Wheeler, flagpole

'The Hateful Eight', seems like Quentin Tarantino’s worst movie, talky and formless, even - dare it be said - boring

Kurt Loder, Reason

With the inexcusably self-indulgent The Hateful Eight, Tarantino has returned to the gratification of his enormous self-love and his amusement at his own genius at the expense of all else, hateful, truly

FlickFilosopher Source, FlickFilosopher.com

'The Hateful Eight', is beyond twisted, but it packs a lot of laughs in its bloated runtime

News Ok Source, News Ok

Westerns aren't usually my thing, but Quentin Tarantino may have converted me

Lisa Twang, The New Paper

This is Tarantino’s most pleasingly claustrophobic film since Reservoir Dogs

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out

'Thriller' is a generic label which has lost its force, but 'The Hateful Eight', thrills

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Armed with vicious humor and an intense story, Quentin Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight', is as brutal in its insights into race relations and human nature as it is in its depiction of violence and the Wild West

Jim Vejvoda, IGN

'The Hateful Eight', is highly enjoyable - and, for better or for worse, a Tarantino movie

Mike Scott, New Orleans Los Angeles News

'The Hateful Eight', a spiritual sequel to Django, it’s definitely got the same weighty topics on its mind and Tarantino - ever loquacious, bratty, frustratingly brilliant, and shockingly witty - knows just what he wants to say

Matt Goldberg, Collider

'The Hateful Eight', will be some people’s heaven and other people’s hell

Micah Mertes, Omaha World-Herald

Quentin Tarantino creates a singular, unique experience that is both a love letter to a genre as well as a whole, new bag entirely. And it all starts, of course, with a stagecoac

Jeremy Kirk, First Showing

It’s too dark a focus to produce something like joy, but it does produce hope, hope that even if there is only one thing we are sure of while everything else is up for grabs, it’s enough to keep the darkness from the door

Joshua Starnes, ComingSoon.net

Stubbornly theatrical, Quentin Tarantino’s three-hour snowed-in Western 'The Hateful Eight', is a difficult movie by a director who’s not known for making them

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, AV Club

'The Hateful Eight', is not for the faint at heart, and feels like a step forward for the wayward enfant terrible - a step toward maturity

Lindsay Bahr, Yahoo News

The journey is grueling and immersive, in Iñárritu’s 156-minute film, you’ll feel all the cold, grime and exhaustion

Al Hoff , Pittsburgh City Paper

Terrific storytelling, loaded with clever, nasty, exuberant dialogue and tarantino’s love of movies

Jonathan Richards, The Santa Fe New Mexican

'The Hateful Eight', is delivered in short, staccato bursts, largely without warning or preamble

Michael Clark, Gwinnett Daily Post

This is an ethically tricky, artistically risky undertaking, but in Mr. Tarantino’s hands, it is never not interesting

AO Scott, The New York Times

I liked the film more than I didn’t, mostly because one has to admire the audacity of the whole enterpris
