It's really different and slow. almost 3 hours and tons of speaking/little action in 1 room for around 2 of it.
I enjoyed it but it's almost subtle humor - and alot of people will not enjoy it as much as django etc.

I don't get the love for this one.
What do you like about it?
Easily one of my least favorite QT movies.

His only good movies, imo, are Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained. After that, you get into Tarantino's masturbatory fantasies with quippy dialogue and stylistic, bloody action, but a story that either barely hangs together (Inglorious Basterds) or is utterly secondary to the homage (Kill Bill).
Consequently, I view Tarantino as a scene maker, not a story teller or director. And while Reservoir Dogs starts as a movie, it devolves into Tarantino's violent fantasy with little to no substance.
He is, imo, one of if not the most overrated director in Hollywood. But he's great at scenes. So great that several of his scenes will live on in film history as some of the greatest of all time.

I'll still go see it but my expectations are low.

It's just a tight story, and imo, Tarantino's best, most isolated job at creating narrative without too much excess. It's Tarantino reserved, which is a good thing despite how well he can usually bring in his flair in terms of dialog and homage.
I like pretty much all of the characters and thought Forester was awesome. I think, along with writing great characters, Jackie Brown gets to real emotions better than anything else but Basterds (since Basterds is clearly playing with our sense of right/wrong, violence, justice, etc.). And come on, Jackie and Max, has Tarantino actually ever gotten romance right? He actually fleshes their relationship out perfectly, which was surprising.
And it has one of the best soundtracks, top to bottom.

Was The Hateful Eight just that bad or not too many of y'all have gotten the chance to see it? It worries me for some reason. I might catch it this weekend.

I thought it was a pretty good movie, I think the long run time is turning a lot of people off and a few uncomfortable scenes might further be a turn off for those who do actually watch it. I saw it as a dark comedy, even moreso than all his previous movies, so I think it's confusing a lot of people.
I'd put it behind Basterds, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill v1 and ahead of the rest of his stuff.

I thought Hateful Eight was a damn good movie.....until the last 20minutes. It ran into the same problem as Django.
