Summary: plain crap
Review: overhyped, tasteless, untalented piece of crap. no wonder the price of the used DVD is so low.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: review revitalised.
Review: John Travolta (Vincent Vega) and Samuel L. Jackson (Jules Winnfield) star in Quinton Tarantino's second feature after the controversial (because of violent content) film Reservoir Dogs. They play a couple of hit-man and we get to go along on several jobs they are paid to do. The story is basically told in bits and pieces going back and forth in time. This is the film that revitalized John Travolta's ailing career and propelled Samuel Jackson to stardom.

Needless to say, Tarantino puts together a fast-paced entertaining film with dramatic twists and turns. Unfortunatly it's also exceedingly violent, has the second most number of profanities of any movie (I believe South Park Uncut has that dubious honour), and glorifies the drug-taking murderous lifestyles of the main charecters. John Travolta's charecter makes killing for money look cool, as does Samuel Jackson as he quotes from the Bible before dispatching his victims, (much like the crusades huh?). There is also a very disturbing scene of a male being raped by another man that does not need to be seen in any film.

That having said, it's well directed, and very well acted, love Johnny's dancing scene with Urma,probably the only worthwhile The music is also very well done.

Thanks for reading.

Summary: I don¿t get what is so great about this movie
Review: Ok, Pulp Fiction was interesting and original. But I just don't get what is so great about this movie. People have said that this is the best movie of the 90's. Can someone please explain to me how so? What am I missing?

This movie is made out to be A+, I see it as B- at best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Cast / Story(s) / Music / Dialogue - It Has It All...
Review: This ground breaking movie has been endlessly discussed, praised, damned, ripped off and copied so many times that you can easily lose sight of the fact that what you have here is a genuinely original, exciting and important work of art that when experienced for the umpteenth time STILL never fails to thrill and amuse.

This movie is one of the few I would describe as perfect. I honestly cannot fault a thing about it. The brilliant dialogue has become legendary, the elliptical structure of the script has been much imitated and will continue to do so. The fantastic group of actors, who range from has-beens (at the time) to cult favourites, are all uniformly excellent, and the soundtrack is one of the coolest and most eclectic ever assembled. In short, this is a modern classic, and required viewing for all movie fans. 'Pulp Fiction' is as good as any movie you care to name. To (mis)quote Flavor Flav - "believe the hype!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gotta Get To Jack Rabbit Slim's
Review: It's been about 10 years since I sat myself down and had the Pulp Fiction experience. I took another look at this film after watching Tarantino's recent tour de force "Kill Bill". Must has been said about Pulp Fiction, from being a violent bloodfest to a spiritual journey; but one thing is certainly true: Pulp Fiction is a cinematic classic.

Pulp Fiction is really three films wrapped in one: the story of two hitmen sent out on a job to retrieve a briefcase, a boxer asked to throw a fight, and an actress with a habit that nearly kills her. These stories are intertwined effectively and effortlessly, the seems between them are negligible, so when one character from another story suddenly pops up in another one, its understandable.

It took Tarantino's vision to pull this off. Clearly, he's at the forefront of this movie, from its look and style. First, the sharp script, dialogue heavy, is extremely well written. When the Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield dish about Amsterdam McDonald's burgers, you realize you are listening to golden words. This isn't your average violent flick.

What also sets Pulp Fiction apart from your average violent flick is that much of the direct violence is never seen, or handled offscreen. Give Tarantino credit for making us think it's a bloodfest, but in reality, other films that have violent scenes that run for ten minutes, compared to Fictions quick scenes, you see the difference. Tarantino manages to build suspense and tension, in order for us to think it's more violent than it is.

In addition to that scene, the other classic scene occurs between Vincent Vega and Uma's slinky Mia Wallace at Jack Rabbit Slim's. I was totally entranced by the absolute perfection that scene has. From the stylistic 50's diner atmosphere, to the oddly weird and normal twist contest Mia and Vincent enter, it's brilliant from start to finish.

Pulp Fiction is a cinematic feast from beginning to end. Thanks to Quention for preparing it for us, and may we gorge for many years to come.

Summary: BLAH!!
Review: I can't believe all these people think that Quentin Tarantino is some kind of genius. You'd have to be a retard to like have the crap he puts out on film, and trust me, there are a lot of retards out there. This movie gets 2 stars for only 1 reason, Samuel L. Jackson. And NO, this isn't his best movie either. And it really shouldn't get even 2 stars, because I can't STAND John Travolta! Now, if this IS your idea of a classic genius work, I hate to discourage anyone, but you have been PLAYED, and you've spent your $$ on no real talent! Hear that? NO TALENT!!! N-O T-A-L-E-N-T !-!-! My favorite Tarantino movie out there is Jackie Brown, because it has to be one of the best player movies out there... AND I HATED IT TOO!!! At least I was able to put one of my trusty barfbags to use. Ha ha ha! Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Summary: The definitive film of the 1990s
Review: "Pulp Fiction" is a drunken romp through almost every conceivable film genre. In its "chapters" one can detect Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, Kurosawa's Samurai epics, John Ford's manly action dramas, the New Wave, 70s schlock, blaxploitation, and, of course, "Saturday Night Fever."

It is the definitive Tarantino film and the definitive film of the 1990s, and is far more than just a genre piece, but a commentary on cinema itself. Not a moment of QT's spectacular stunt would have worked without the healthy doses of irony and humor injected into the script, which is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century.

This movie is burned into my brain. I don't need to watch it, as I can quote the dialogue along with the characters. "PF" is not for everyone; it is profane and violent. Either you love this movie, as I do, or you hate it. There is no in between. I don't think Tarantino would have had it any other way.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 2 hours wasted
Review: I saw this in a theater the weekend it came out. I still vividly remember it as two hours of my life i would like to have back. Interesting story structure and surface sizzle, but mostly nauseating sadism and "life is cheap" thrills. The heroin needle scene made me sick and the Harvey Keitel sequence depressed the heck outta me(...).

I liked Rodriguez' DESPERADO, but this sleaze-chic satire was a turn-off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most Enjoyable Movie of All Time
Review: Name a movie in the last 20 years as good as Pulp Fiction and I will pay you one hundred dollars. This movie is nothing short of incredible, and by the the most enjoyable experiences. Gritty and hilarious, breathtaking and mind-blowing, this film is a must own. Some of the best extras on a DVD also.

Recomendation: Buy it and watch it with all of your heart!

Rating: 5 stars
