This is one of my favorite movies ever. I think it is a masterpiece and I have seen it at least 10 times. The best part about the movie is that there are a lot of subtleties that you don't notice the first or even second time. Each time I watched the movie I had noticed something that I hadn't before. The story is great and I love how it isn't in chronological order. The overlapping of each of the 3 stories couldn't have been done better.

Of course all of the acting was perfect, Vince (John Travolta) and Jules (Sam Jackson) were both amazing and I think their best acting was in this movie. The dialogue in this movie is some of the best I have ever seen. There are so many memorable quotes and scenes throughout the movie.

I honestly couldn't recommend this movie anymore and anyone who hasn't seen it really needs to.

Quienten Tarantino's best, 10/10

It happens to be a great movie; script, directing, you name it it has it. Unlike Boondock Saints... I deplore that film, so overrated.

Boondock Saints was a good movie, not as good as people say, but I still really enjoyed it.

One of the greatest movies of all time - 5/5 in my book.

i love it because it is unique, there is no other movie with a story like that. It really is something you could only expect to hear from a random person, almost like he took a few stories that he heard growing up and combined them to make a movie. Thats my only gripe with so many movies these days, they all seem to follow a theme, or a trend, so few are unique like this one.

I very much love this movie. I love the directing and the dialog. I love how it's a few different stories sort of wrapped into one.

Seen it a dozen times and will many more. Tarantino tells stories by film so effortlessly, it doesn't feel forced or anything, a bit hard to articulate but yeah one of the best movies ever made.
Caleb
I'd just like to point out that this isn't only Tarantino's work. He had collaborated on it with his ex-buddy Roger Avary (they've collaborated on Reservoir Dogs aswell).

I watched this movie for about 30 minutes and couldn't stand it anymore than that. Everything about it is just retarded. shiftyninja.gif

This thread makes me want to go out and get a big kahuna burger, that's for damn sure.

I loved it, and I loved the Kill Bill movies as well. QT has such a weird mind!

Oh no you di'nt..

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

Saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. I loved it. My buddy and I couldn't stop laughing when Vince shot Marvin. We were the only people laughing in the theater. I'm pretty sure everyone thought we were demented.

Boffa Jones
Definitely a great movie 4/5 from me.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favoritte movies, along with The Boondock Saints. I don't know how you can dislike that movie.

BTW, Harvey Keitel is ****ing awesome in it and everywhere.
Hurmoth
I absolutely loved this film. I finally got to see it today, always wanted to, and am very happy that I did.

I was laughing all the way to the end of this film. The thing I love most about QT is his style of writing, how real it feels. It doesn't feel fake or scripted IMO, it feels like this is a real story, something that would really happen in the real world and has happened and will happen again.

5 out of 5 stars from me!

Based upon that - I agree that something is retarded - but possibly not the film.

I adored it. Before Pulp Fiction, I had only watched more mainstream crap, comedies, holywood blockbusters, etc.

I sat in the cinema and was blown away, I was amazed at what I was seeing. This film taught me the meaning of "cool"...

I know I may get flamed for this but what the hell, maybe I'll open a few eyes here.

Yes, Pulp Fiction is a great movie, it's however the only great movie QT has ever made. The guy is a hack who nowadays does nothing but steal stuff done before and done much better, but I guess if you haven't seen any HK ( 'A Better Tomorrow' 1&2, 'Bullet In The Head', etc etc) and Japanese ( 'The Yakuza Papers' comes to mind here) movies from the 60's, 70's and 80's you'll probably be totally ignorant of that fact. That's why he can get away with it and call his movies a tribute to....blah blah or inspired by...blah, blah, blah. The same goes for that grindhouse joke...but in the land of the blind one-eye is king I guess..

this movie is simply brilliant...

every character is just amazing and unique in their own way, all of the scenes are acted out thoroughly and as if whats happening is going on in real life, the humour is one of a kind, coming from all actors/actresses...

although the plot jumps around, how the story all ties in at the end of the movie is brilliant....saw it two nights before donnie darko, and both films are excellent, not comparable, yet pulp fiction is definitely one of the best, funniest, and most bizzare films i have ever seen in my life...

would see it again in a heartbeat...

Yeah me too! yes.gif From Dusk 'Til Dawn, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dog, and Death Proof are all great films too, at least IMO. I love From Dusk 'Til Dawn, I totally didn't expect the ending laugh.gif

Excelent film. I considered rewatching it yesterday, but instead opted to watch Memento, Clockwork Orange, and Laputa - Castle in the Sky. Still, i would definitly recomened this movie.

Seen this movie so many times as well, in fact I'm gonna watch some scenes now - its so amazing everytime. This movie is my favourite movie of all time, it is my "citizen kane" - a true masterpiece and puts other movies to shame. Made me appreciate cinema a whole lot more as well.

You are joking me? Reservoir Dogs - while it may not have set the world on fire in the same way - is an amazing piece of work!

who cares QT is a genuis...... biggrin.gif

I don't think he is. I think he is a self-indulgent film buff. But as such, puts together films that other film buffs can:

1) Enjoy
2) Then try to act all superior by saying "He ripped off..."

He seems like a kid playing, and his toys are movie techniques.

Watch it again, I didn't think it was a masterpiece the first time I watched it but after you watch it again.. you will see why it is a masterpiece.

I disagree myself. I think he is genius too, simply because he's able to take some of the greatest parts of films, slap them together make some of the best films ever made. Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, From Dusk 'Til Dawn are all absolutely brilliant and I don't think anyone could have done a better or even equal job with those films.

QT is a kid playing, but that doesn't make him any less of a genius though. But that's my opinion; to each their own biggrin.gif

I truly look forward to Inglorious Bastards, that film is going to rock!
