    Possibly the most important movie of the 90s, next to Jurassic Park. Pulp Fiction revolutionized the crime genre and advanced new storytelling techniques for a new era of filmmaking. Its narrative and cinematic style are umatched, unless possibly by some of Tarantino's own work. ...( read more)This is destined to be the crown jewel of his exceptional career.

    Ebert said it best: the dialogue is so good it could be enjoyed as an audio tape.

    Great characters, great concepts, great story structure...A+

    The quintessential Tarantino film. If you like Pulp Fiction, you'll enjoy any of his work. If not, you really shouldn't waste your time with any of his other films. Put me firmly into the "fan" column.

    Pulp Fiction greatly rewards repeated viewings, the amount of foreshadowing i...( read more)s just ridiculous. The movie never seems dull, despite its 2 1/2 hour length, and is full of endless amounts of homages and in-jokes that you will never notice unless you watch the trivia track.

    The entire expansive cast is perfect, I couldn't imagine anyone else taking even the smallest of the roles. Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames, and many others give absolutely iconic performances. Even Quentin gets to step into the spotlight in front of the camera, for a bit. This may not be my favorite Tarantino movie, but it's one that I can watch and enjoy again and again.

    I'm sorry I'm sorry, but i dont get it. I dont get how this movie is SO great. The plot was non existent. It was just 4 stories that interacted with each other. Samuel L. Jackson made this movie...and that's a rare thing for me to say since i dont care for SLJ. The actors are gre...( read more)at. The dialogue is good. I love Quentin Tarantino. There was just NO PLOT. I wish it was better for me. Maybe in the future I will come to understand how everyone else sees this movie as a masterpiece.

    I've said it before but Quentin Tarantino is a thief. That said this is a very enjoyable swag bag and there is no mistaking his enthusiasm, energy and most importantly, his influence. He got a lot of people to pick up a camera with his impact in the early 90's which has done cine...( read more)ma a lot of good. I hate the script though, something he's always congratulated on but I can't understand. It's too inane to be cool, I enjoy the realism (His characters go to the bathroom, whoo hoo!) but his scripts are just awful. And so the love hate relationship continues..

    I didn't expect much from this anyway. The buzz of it being an instant classic and a rare gem to view was the only enticement for me to see this. I was let down by the buzz. I disagree with every positive reaction Pulp Fiction received. Shortly defined, it's one of the mos...( read more)t overrated films to be screened.



    Quentin Taranatino's second film is a 3-story collaboration of hitmen. As those they lend their service to the top dog of L.A. - Marcellus Wallace (Rhames) - they encounter a miracle, tragedy, and a robbery at a diner. But that's only one of three stories being told. Vincent Vega (Travolta) is also assigned to help entertain his boss' wife (Thurman), and to top it all off, Butch Coolidge (Willis) is Marcellus' next target from a lost bet made on a rigged fight.



    My biggest doubt of Pulp Fiction may be the screenplay and certainly the direction. Let me just lay it out - my problem was Tarantino himself. He has the adult charisma in his films, but lacks a meaning. Honestly, I was waiting so long to see where this movie was going, and it ended nowhere. The era of Tarantino is solely surrounding a gangster's personality; the aggression, flair, ruthlessness. But how it's presented is off scale, which blind sights the public. There's no specific flow, but they may be the way it was intended.



    This way of stroy telling hasn'y been done like this before, which makes it unique, even with an original screenplay. The number one flaw that wrecked this film phememonon for me; the dialog.



    The dialog is what kept this movie rolling on through. Its the talk that seems real and ordinary for us to hear, typical small talk, but that's not what I want to pay $7 to to be apart of.

    although i loved this movie it is over rated. this movie is good though. its raw and intense and comes full circle in an unexpected way and it was amazing. but not the best movie of all time as its fans suggest.

    This film is packed with adult comedy, intense dialogue, graphic violence, and extremely explicit themes which may discourage some audiences from taking part in Tarantino's film experience. Whenever I discover this film running on TV, I rarely change the channel.
    The casting is ...( read more)excellently managed, having discovered the director's earlier choices before re-writing much of the script to accommodate his final castmembers. Each actor (and their respective character) was jettisoned into significant fame due to the cult status success of this masterpiece. Without this film, Travolta wouldn't have had a massive restart to his career (beyond dance & musical films of the '70s and '80s). Both Jackson and Willis became leading men in Hollywood, due to their excellent portrayals. Even young Uma Thurman manages to draw audiences in with her very sexy appeal.
    The writing, although largely unscripted, tends to receive a strong focus within Tarantino's works. By casting himself within each of his films, we can instantly recognize Quentin's tell-tale brand of dialogue throughout other characters' lines. On a surprisingly impressive note - Samuel Jackson knows exactly 'how' to say his lines with conviction while Christopher Walken's scene (talking to young Butch) is hilariously fantastic.
    The soundtrack has achieved massive mainstream popularity since the film's release, which should be a sign of reckoning for filmmakers and audiences alike. What appeals to many on the big screen, will ultimately reach fans through their at-home theaters and high-quality stereos.
