Summary: most original film of the 90s
Review: i have never seen any film quite like this one. the best part of the movie is its refreshing uniqueness in that plot lines flow through sub plotlines and everything works together in a seinfeld-esque blunder of unforeseen coincidences and irony. i would have ventured this as a contender for the number one movie of the nineties.a definate one for your home collection.

Summary: You'll want to see it again straight away.
Review: Pulp Fiction is a glorious rollercoaster of a movie. It takes several plots, all of which seem familiar initially (Bruce Willis's fight-throwing boxer who decides not to take a fall for a change), and it twists each one of them and weaves them together into something truly new. This is an hilariously funny modern classic. And, in a movie of great performances, Samuel L Jackson stands out. This is the film that made Sam the coolest man on the planet. The music is retro-chic, it never takes itself too seriously (like Jackie Brown does) and it zips along at a whirlwind speed. First time I saw it, I knew from the moment the title sequence started up with the manic sound of Dick Dale and the Deltones behind it, I was in for a treat. I was already looking forward to watching it again. The same is true now when I watch. And, incidentally, the DVD picture looks wonderful.

Summary: Entertaining, but not for the politically correct
Review: I saw Pulp Fiction when it first created such a buzz in the theaters. The soundtrack is one of the best of the 1990's. This movie is just fun, there is so much thoughtful dialogue to chew on. I saw part of the movie on TV a few weeks ago and decided to get the DVD to add to my collection. When I watched it the other night, something occured to me-- when Mia (Uma Thurman) and Vincent (John Travolta) arrive at Jack Rabbit Slims for their dinner, she comments to him that an Elvis man should love this place. I distinctly remember on TV a few weeks ago that they had a discussion before they reached Jack Rabbit Slims about how some people were Elvis people and others were Beatles people. I don't remember that scene in the DVD though. I might have to watch it again to be sure it's really missing though. The movie has violence, drug use, and lots of profanity, but I think the great story telling still makes it a fun movie. There is lots of humor in this movie, in a twisted sort of way. Want to watch it in chronological order? Watch the chapter (3?) right after the main titles with Vincent and Jules riding in the car. Then jump to 22. (scene 1, with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny happens concurrently with the restaurant scene) After that, I think it goes to 4 (the scene where Butch (Bruce Willis) is talking to Marsellus Wallace about fixing the fight) and then watch straight through till he rides off on the chopper. I give it 4 stars only because of the lack of goodies on the disc.

Summary: A GREAT PIECE OF CINEMA & SURPRISINGLY GOOD SPECIAL EDITION
Review: If you want special editions, it's usually a given that you should try the DVD version instead of the VHS movie. Most "Special Editions" contain small clips that don't reveal much in the regards to the director's intentions. Although Pulp Fiction's Special Edition does contain only a small clip, it's a better job than most VHS movies manage. Quentin Tarantino narrates the clip following the movie and shares with the audience his feelings (and shows the previously edited scenes) as to why certain segments were taken out. A unique perspective on an original Hollywood mind. As for Pulp Fiction itself - let me tell you that I am one who shies away from onscreen violence in that I feel most violent scenes are gratuitious displays taking advantage of modern day special effects and audience appeal. ALL of Tarantino's films contain LARGE amounts of violence, but for lack of a better way to explain it, the guy keeps you glued on his scenes. EXCELLENT writing; stories out of a vivid imagination and with character complexities that most modern day movies lack. Tarantino has a style that is all his own and I would recommend that you watch this or any Tarantino picture. A great treat with most Tarantino films is that he casts actors & actresses that give acting its grandeur. This film follows in the same tradition with GREAT performances by Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Keitel, Ving Rhames, Bruce Willis, Jon Travolta, Uma Thurman, Christoper Walken, etc.. Pulp Fiction has a great cast to act one of the few modern day movies that has a screenplay that stands out above the movie itself.

Summary: Lasting Impression for what?
Review: I saw this movie once, and have never wanted to see it again. I can see why some might like it because it definitely will leave an impression on you but for what purpose? I didn't like the impression it left on me and you might not either, so rent it before you buy. If you did like it because of the violence etc, then be sure and check out Scarface with Al Pacino for a movie depicting drug use, graphic violence and foul language in excess quantities. I actually liked that movie.

Summary: a PUZZLE IF I EVER SAW ONE
Review: This, I have to say is one of the most realistic, exciting movies I have ever seen! The entire movie fits together like a puzzle. It would not fit so perfectly if the stories weren't out of order. Travolta and Jackson play two hitmen, Vincent and Jules, Vincent takes Mia, their boss' wife on a date that goes horribly wrong. While on the other hand, jules decides to stop doing hits and live his life pure. Then thurman plays Mia, Marcellus Wallace's wife, their boss. Bruce Willis plays Butch a boxer that was payed to throw a fight by Marcellus Wallace, but doesn't. Harvey Keitel is the wolf an expert on disposing of dirty little secrets. Confused? Don't be. Quentin Terrantino did a great job of writing as well as directing. The directing although unorthodox is superb. I would tell you more, but unlike the other reviewers I don't want to give anything away.

Summary: Just becuase you are a character...
Review: doesnt mean you have any... what makes a great movie? is it a great story or great acting ? or great casting? no. its all of those elements jelling together perfectly with some pixie dust thrown in for good measure to create something magical, a film that stays with you long after you see it, and never gets old no matter how many times you watch it! i loved the way mr tarantino told the story in this movie...it reminded me of another film, citizen kane, which the story was chronologically out of sync...this makes it fun and very unpredictable...tarantino never fails to get the heavy hitters to play in his films: even great actors like harvey keitel and christopher walken play bit parts in this film because the writing is so great...but there's not really any "bit players" here : john travolta was nominated for a best actor oscar for his performance as tough dumb bad guy, vincent vega, but this is an ensemble movie...and why did the academy give travolta a best actor nod and jackson a best supporting actor nomination? Jackson had the same amount of time on screen as travolta, and had the best lines. go figure. uma thurman looks absolutely yummy in this film, as a mobster's wife who flirts with travolta to the point of torture... bruce willis, a good actor, who's only recently started to really act, shines in his role as a boxer who decides not to cave in to a mobster, marcellus wallace, and then later in the film, saves the mobster's life in a scene that straight out of deliverance...but then again, t.s. eliot once said, " good artists imitate, great artists steal." tarantino steals: he steals from new wave filmakers, blaxploitation flicks, pulp novels, and contemporary art and puts a fresh spin on it. he throws all of these things into a blender and works a cliche like no other director... tarantino didn't invent the crime movie, he reinvented it. the anti heroes in this film are fascinating character studies, and though they do dirt( everyone has done dirt ! ) you find yourself liking them. one scene in the movie that some people took offense to was the scene where the gangsters take a dead body to jimmy's house and jimmy complains about his house becoming " a dead nigger storage " when i saw this movie at the theater, there were several white people sitting around me when this scene came on and they were shocked that i laughed my a** off at it. that was because i got the joke. i knew tarantino wasn't using the n word in a racist context; it's a common fact black people use the n word among themselves, just like italians refer to each other as dagos, and spanish people call each other spics and so on...besides if he did use the n word in a negative light, samuel l. jackson would've had some serious issues with him... also, mr tarantino seems to have a preoccupation with interracial love/ interacial relationships: don't believe me? check out true romance and watch the scene where gary oldman's character is talking to christian slater : a porno flick is playing in the background on a t.v. showing a white man fondling a black woman's breasts; in jackie brown, bridget fonda plays samuel l. jackson's girlfriend; pam grier becomes friendly with robert forster's bounty hunter character and bonnie, jimmy's wife in pulp is a black woman( the nurse you see coming home...) i think mr tarantino is the most creative and daring filmmaker to come along in the last half century...most people hate his movies because they're too violent and his stories are hard to follow. that's because they've been so used to being spoon fed on hollywood pablum that they're unable to digest something really challenging and thought-provoking. i hope quentin hasn't hit is creative apex. this is probably one the best films of the century, easily the best crime movie ever. and to my friend ravenlore: " just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character. "

Summary: Overrated
Review: What's all the fuss about? You've seen all this before, sort of a 70s B-movie, several of them, with Seinfeld patter thrown in between the spasms of violence. Tarantino does direct violence with a chilling authenticity, capturing it in a frighteningly un-cinematic manner. You feel you are watching something you're not supposed to see. The stories aren't much, though, and placing them in non-chronological order doesn't add anything.
