The Hateful Eight | Out NOW in Digital and 70mm | 187 minutes long including a 12 minutes intermission

I think the "backlash" has to do with subject matter. People also theorize that the critics recognized they got it wrong which is why the heavily rewarded Django, which is (in my opinion and I'm sure many others) the weaker of the two films.

I agree it's the "weaker" of the two.

I quote weaker, cause it's still a damn fine film.

Death Proof is Tarantinos only misfire. And that is still worth watching.

Ozy hit the nail on the head. IB is half great, half horrible. 

 

Horrible. Near unwatchable.

I couldn't possibly disagree more.

I couldn't possibly disagree more.

 

So you're saying it's half horrible, half great? I think I could live with that.

IB is a near-masterpiece and one of QT's best written movies. I used to have some qualms with Pitt's Aldo Raine, but I've warmed up so much over the years to his character and performance.

Yeah, it's a bit on the uneasy side, just like Brad Pitt's accent in the film.

I love Aldo! One of my favorite QT characters.

It's supposed to be bad. Where is everyone's camp sensibilities?!?

I know I'm in the vast minority here but KB volume 2 is his best film

I used to think that as well. But now I'm on the "every day I have a new favorite QT film" camp. 

[Truckasaurus]

I even like Death Proof and Django, but they're easily his worst movies.

That's probably my third favorite.

Lost in the grave seriousness of Christopher Nolan films, probably.

The classic excuse.

It's supposed to be silly and over the top.

But...bad? It's not bad. It's great.

[TStechnij]

I meant the accent. Not the performance. The performance is great and probably a real challenge for a serious actor. You have to balance the camp and the rest of the QT tone and quirks. I love the performance.

I think the scene in the bar basement is Tarantino's best scene of the 2000s

 

I'd say the entire Chapter 1 is his greatest scene ever.

[Hatebox]

I wish IB weren't quite so cartoony. My heart sunk when I saw the trailer and realised we weren't getting the serious Tarantino war film I'd hoped. No surprises that the strongest scenes (the opening, the lunch with the French girl, and the extended bar sequence) are the ones that play it straight.

 

Django I could take or leave. It wasn't very compelling whenever Dicaprio wasn't onscreen.

 

I assume H8 will be in the same vein as those two, but we'll see.

[The Stingray]

Death Proof is all sorts of awesome. True QT aficionados would agree.

[Travod]

What are the bad parts of IB? Recently decided it was my favorite movie ever, awkward.

 

As for TH8 I'm just not sure at the moment. Story seems IDK, but 1. he has the best dialogue, 2. since I'm from NYC I'll be able to see it with all the trinkets and fanciness as intended on Christmas

Oh not you too.
