15 Acclaimed Recent Movies That Are (Probably) Doomed To Receive A Backlash
6. The Hateful Eight
Like Gone Girl, this is a 'twist movie'. Once you know the solution to the film's murder mystery, it's not nearly as much fun to watch.
It's three hours long for no discernible reason, the dialogue is entirely forgettable, it's distasteful and problematic, and in general it's ugly, shallow and really rather dull.
It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that people will like this a lot less once they rewatch it and this will probably go down as Tarantino's worst film (aside from Death Proof) and deservedly so.
Tarantino's other movies, flaws and all, are rewatchable affairs with lots of neat little details and good moments but with The Hateful Eight, there's little to appreciate in a revisit, aside from the cinematography and music.
