63% Top Critics

Ouch. That's gotta hurt.

77%? Da fuck? I thought it was going to stay at the 90% range. I heard nothing but good things about this film, so WTF!?

Well, if you read the reviews, you'll know the issues that people have.

So people didn't like it because it was too long and didn't feel like the ending paid off? I didn't see other critics complaining though.

A DVD-quality rip of the film has been leaked online. Apparently by a hollywood exec or something.

I have some links that I'll pm to people if they want to watch it online, over paying money in a cinema to watch this film. (WHICH IS ILLEGAL, BTW. YOU'RE BREAKING THE LAW!!! )

I think The Revenant got leaked as well.

Both The Hateful Eight and The Revenant are meant to be seen on the big screen.

Complaints like:

Quote :

Some of the film's ugliness is therefore a sign of integrity, and of relevance. But much of it seems dumb and ill considered, as if Mr. Tarantino's intellectual ambition and his storytelling discipline had failed him at the same time.

From A.O. Scott

to ones like:

Quote :

The Hateful Eight wears out its welcome well before the halfway point, leaving the equivalent of a whole other movie to sit -- and suffer -- through.

From Wall Street Journal

to ones like:

Quote :

An epic work of self-indulgence and smug riffing, stringing together tropes from TV and screen westerns and closed-room whodunits, The Hateful Eight announces itself with all the pomp and circumstance of a mid-century cinema spectacle.

 
From Steven Rea.

There are a wide-range of issues that critics have. Even the ones who like it, faulted the movies for certain flaws, too.

Sounds like they are just being hateful at QT's eighth film.

That isn't as clever of a sentence as you think, Becha.

I couldn't resist.

Oh fuck! I didn't realize this was already playing in my city. It's not playing in my nearest theater though, so I would have to go all the way to Harahan just to watch it. Which is not that far, but I'm too lazy to make that drive. x[
