One of the zaniest, funniest, smartest and most entertaining movies I have ever seen. One of my all time favorites as well. John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson give terrific performances.

Not the worst movie ever, but certainly not the masterpiece it was built up to be: Not funny, not interesting, no real story to tell, Didn't like and couldn't relate to any of the characters. In short, this movie is 2.5 hours of pure garbage.

Tarantino's movies are way overrated. Not saying this film was rubbish. It was fun and all but for it to be in metacritics all time top 10 is bad. I don't know why there are critics- i always look at the viewers section as its always more accurate!

Yo The Godfather: I'm really happy for you... Imma let you finish, but Pulp Fiction is the best movie of ALL TIME... of ALL TIME!!! but really I have yet to see better movie

This is probably one of the greatest movies ever to hit the silver screen (in my opinion that is). Tarantino, you're one hella director, keep it up. If you haven't seen this movie or you're debating on seeing it, well...SEE IT!!!!!!

An unbelievably acted directed and written film. The film is engaging and very funny. The film is very engaging and is never dull. All the scenes in the film are superbly crafted and there is not one thing wrong I can say about this film. A true masterpiece and one of the best films of all time. To bad the rest of tarantinos films I have not enjoyed although I have not seen Kill Bill 2 and resevoir dogs.… Expand

Definitely belongs to the 10 best movies of all times !!! The story and the dialogues are just awesome and it's really sad to see that it only received the script-oscar. What about this ridiculous Forrest Gump is worth these many trophies !

Not a huge fan of all of Tarantino's films but this one is great. Great music.. great cast... great dialog!!!!!!

Must see - *highlights* Samuel J, Travolta, Steve B... great performances

Best movie of all time.

A civilization which can produce, acclaim, and laugh at this movie does not deserve to continue existing, or to have ever existed.

I just don't get it. Why do they love this film so much? It's a stupid movie about stupid people. Nothing's funny. Nothing was built up. There was nothing to think about. It felt like artistic rape. I wasn't even bored, but I wanted to walk out. This movie felt like modern art that just went over my head and flushed into the toilet. It's one notch up the Beavis and Butthead movie and half a notch up My Boss' Daughter. Maybe like it's one of those really ugly sculptures that is so riveting that some people just have to love it while some just cannot. The briefcase?? Who cares? Salvation??? How? This movie was so infuriating, I can't even give it a zero rating.… Expand

Tarantino is a horrible director with crappy ideas.

Funny and entertaining from beginning to end. Amazing script and great acting.

If your idea of a good movie is filled with slow motion or flashy action sequences, love scenes, and a clear cut happy ending, don't watch this movie. But if you want something gritty, real and entirely different than most the movies out there, you just might need to see this one.

The finest thing to come out of America period. the only let down is that i will never be able to watch it again for the first time and have that feeling i had when the credits rolled and i was sat there mouth agape unable to take in the awesomeness of what i had just seen. i think its safe to say its without any doubt the best film ever made by some considerable margin.

Brilliantly entertaining. This was the movie that revitalized American cinema in the mid 1990s... though it would have been nice if other directors took his example for inspiration rather than just becoming copycats. This is the 10 in Tarantino's repertoire... nothing before or since has been better than an 8.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, of course. But I don't think that any serious viewer -- or at least any viewer with an opinion worth considering -- will grant Pulp Fiction its rightful place in the canon. That doesn't mean the film is perfect or that reasonable viewers can't differ on its relative strengths and weaknesses. Those who find the dialogue too steeped in post-modern hipsterism, however, can still marvel at a non-linear storyline that may best "Citizen Kane" in its elegance and ingenuity. Those who find some of the plot twists (think Gimp, baby) too contrived can still appreciate performances -- and character interactions -- whose artistry will stun audiences for many, many generations to come. In other words....hell, that guy below is right: If you don't find something -- or lots of things -- to love about this movie, see a doctor. It's time to get that stick removed.… Expand

Very original. Quentin Tarantino took different situations and brought them together. This movie really brings out the different characters and their situations as well as how these situations effect each other and themselves. Definitely a good movie to watch with a Royale with Cheese.

Liked it the first time, loved it the secound time. Excellent movie.

This film is continuously hilarious from beginning to end. With it

An excellent example of a heady movie that imerses the person in the environment of the situation. Anyone who says this movie isnt deep isn't smart enough to see it at that level. Enough Said.

My favorite movie ever.

Thrilling AND Hilarious! Masterpiece!

Most overrated movie I have ever seen.

Very unique and it's Jules dammit! Not Jools.

I still remember how giddy and excited I was while I was watching this movie in the theater. A top ten favorite of mine.

The movie is among the best original movies ever made. Tarantino pushes the boundaries and accomplishes to create a masterpiece that has becomed a cult phenomenom. The people who have rated this movie with a low rating should've watched the latest Jackie Chan movie. I still believe that a Pulp Fiction sequel is very possible, one where it would show that main characters in the time before they were ever involved in the original film and it would show everything leading up to the events of the film. Dark comedies rock and Pulp Fiction is the second best dark comedy, being beaten only by the truly cult classic: Dr. Strangelove: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. If you havent seen this movie yet, go buy it now because 50 years from now people will still find this film to be refreshing in a world made up of hollywood special effects popcorn movies. Enjoy!… Expand

THE FILM.

It isnt supposed to be funny, you morons. Pulp Fiction is to comedy as George Bush is to president.

Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favourites. It has a timeless feel to it, excellent cast, excellent plot and a genius-come-director Quentin Tarentino. The reviewers that vote this 0 and don't come up with a better explanation than that it's 'sick, evil, sicksickdsfieevil' are clearly idiots who have probably never seen the film itself. Tarentino, you either love him or hate him and his films, but back up your arguments. Pulp Fiction was an instant classic and always will be.… Expand

overall a good movie with great dialogue...i wouldnt really call this a movie though rather a combination of 3 short scenes.

[***SPOILERs***] I'm not a prude. i liked "the godfather." and john carpenter's "the thing," which registers pretty darn high on the gore scale, is one of my all-time favorite movies. but "pulp fiction" is cinematic masturbation at its most juvenile. it's one long series of self-indulgent gangland fantasies as seen through the eyes of someone who us under the impression that combining irony with violence equals brilliance. it's uncannily similar to when a young person figures out how to be sarcastic. he/she will revel in his/her newfound powers of irony at every opportunity, until it becomes a matter of sheer self-indulgence. see such film triumphs as these: a righteous african american quoting the bible as he riddles the bodies of young men with enough lead to shield superman's gonads from the motherlode of kryptonite. (oh my god, best movie of all time!!!) a sadistic inbred freak getting a taste of his own sodomy...from a righteous black man who moments before was on the receiving end of the same prescription. (never before in the history of culture have we seen such brilliance!!!!) a girl who o.d'ed getting stabbed in the heart with a giant needle filled with adrenalin, jumping up and, when asked to say something, says "something" in a rather nonplussed fashion--followed by a "whoa...that's trippy" from one of the other participants. (that rawks, man! even more than when i'm watching the real beavis and butthead!!!) killers on their way to assassinate someone speaking of such banalities as a quarter pounder with cheese being called a royale du fromage in france. (did you see how the boy king managed to make his killers a thousand times more awesomely hitmenlike by juxtaposing their murderous activities with mcdonalds' cheeseburgers--brilliantly referencing an american cultural icon along the way?!!) tarantino cannot for one moment resist the compulsion to punch you in the face with his brass knuckles of irony. the violence in "pulp fiction" and "natural born killers" clearly resides in the realm of self-indulgence. he makes his characters commit outrageously violent acts with not only ironic indifference, but with shocking detachment, which of course is meant to show not just how badass they are, but to shock the viewer into a kind of slack-jawed awe. when he won an academy award for "pulp fiction," he and his friend abruptly wrapped up their thoroughly inelegant acceptance comments--as it could hardly have been called a speech--with the decidedly juvenile comment, "if you'll excuse me now, i have to go pee." oh well. with these guys, it's either cinematic urination or cinematic masturbation.… Expand

Incredible acting (especially Travolta and Jackson), incredible stories and incredible piece of art for Pop culture! Though the end is a bit frustrating, the plot is great, really I mean it.

Oh God! I just couldn't believe what I have watched here. I have watched a Masterpiece. I do not say it out of respect as I did for The Godfather, but I say it out of pure exhilaration and relief (Quiet the opposite what you witness on the surface). For the first time after many ages I don't feel guilty about giving a film 10/10.

I can honestly say that this is one of the best genre changing films of the past few decades since the godfather or the goodfellas. if i made a list of my top ten favorite movies pulp fiction would without a doubt be on there somewhere.

When one reviews a film, they must look past what is morally incorrect or socially unacceptable and focus on the originality of the film, and the only reason this very original, extreely absorbing movie did not win the Best Picture Oscar is that Forrest Gump was just less controversial. (Albeit just as good)

Uh. It's great.

A classic? Glorified violence, cheesy characters, horrendous language- this is what qualifies as a classic these days? Just the resurrection of John Revolta's career is bad enough, but- please, Taratino is a perverted person, and I don't care how deep he's supposed to be, his movies are rubbish.

This movie certainly isn't bad, but it certainly is not the classic that some make it out to be. Perhaps my biggest beef with the movie is that the characters who are so central to the movie (it has little plot) are not deep nor thought provoking at all, possibly with the exception of Jules. Mia is a hopeless cliche druggie, Marsellus has no depth at all, and Travolta's portrayal of Vincent is typical of an obsequious yes-man. The three-story thing was kinda cool, but of course it's been done before in plenty of films, the deer hunter is the only one that comes to mind but I remembered seeing it in plenty of others. Overall if you're looking for a movie in this vein that is truly a classic, look more to Leon the Professional.… Expand

BOOOO!!!!! The only reason way this movie gets a 5 is because Samuel had messed up hair, which is funny because he is stupid. Also the idea of trying to show the lows of being a killer is cool, and original, its just the way Tarantino put it together is crap. Like he pulled it out of his butt when he was on the throne. The only good Tarantino movie is a burned Tarantino movie, all but From Dusk Til' Dawn. (That is the ONLY exception.) So if you like watching a dude's head explode or seeing someone getting wasted then i guess you can watch this movie. But its not on my recommend list.… Expand

Best movie of the past 20 years.

It's a good movie.

This is the most entertaining movie i've ever seen. It isn't flawless, but it's as close as i've ever seen. Tarentino goes overboard in every movie he does, but his method fits this film. Bravo! Bravo!

Thank you to all those who voted 0 to 3 rating on this horrible garbage. I have never seen such tripe and never will again. I thought the whole world had gone mad, but there are a few sane voices in the wilderness.

Pulp Fiction is quite simply one of the greatest films of all time. It's fantastic from start to finish.

I personally love this movie. But in all honesty, this goes for all of QT's movies, you usually will absolutely love them, or be completely disgusted by them. I don't like to stereotype, but the people who usually will give it 0 are the older, more conservative people, probably very religious and would consider even liking this movie immoral. So with this I'm not surprised at all to see so many 10's and even some 0's, but just that fact that you will be head over heels in love with the work of this director, or hate it and never have to watch it again, it's worth watching one of his movies for the first time. The greatest part of this movie is not the story itself, but the way in which the movie is made. Never before have I actually seen such talent in a director from watching a movie. Quentin takes story lines that almost have nothing to them, and turns it into something so incredible, you can't even explain it, it's something that has to be seen.… Expand

Excellent creative film making but im not going to throw around phrases like top ten like so many do when the film is mentioned.

Really good, in a brutal, weird, unconfortable sort of way.

The movie of the 90's, some might look at that as a bad thing, but it certainly is one of my all time favs.

Pulp Fiction defines the word "Classic". Whatever Tarantino was on when he created this masterpiece, i want some of it. Its the most original movie I have ever experienced. I want more movies to be like this. Most american films are pretty much the same from start to finish, but this one is so original, and different that its a pure classic. Quite possibley the best movie ever, and im not exagerating at all.… Expand

I'm not a Tarantino fan, infact, I think 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'True Romance' are dreadful films that border between average and messy. However, 'Pulp Fiction' is just flawless. I'm the sort of film buff that ends up hating films like this but every ounce of this film is pure classic. The immaculate script delivered by great actors at their best, awesome soundtrack, beautifully choreographed action and near perfect pace, editing and direction. If you approach this film with a negative opinion of humourised violence or find Tarantino lacks any humanity in his scripts, then you are quite possibly approaching from a similar angle to me. And I loved every minute of this funny, exciting masterpiece. I hate giving out 10/10 but I'd be lying if I didn't.… Expand

This is one of the greatest movies ever made, absolutely brilliant.

One of the best movie i've ever seen.

The movie was disgusting and devoid of plot. In the same way that American Graffiti offered a portrait of tween-life in the '60s, it offers a sketch of how gangsters and druggies get by. At least this was all I could produce of a point. The scene with Christopher Walken was supposed to be a highlight of the comedy. He stuck a watch up his butt. Get it? Yeah, real masterful humor. No second grader could come up with that. The ending was kind of cute. Too bad it was not at all related to any of the other gross shots in the movie. It was just kind of there, for its own sake.… Expand

Travolta and Jackson are absolutely perfect together, one of the best duo's in movie history, and that's no overstatement.

Most people I know love this movie. It's decent. I'd like it a lot better if it weren't for the entire part of the movie with Uma Thurman.

This moive is amazing! It combines deep thought with a crazy story.

Very funny at times, it will hold your interest for pretty much all of the movie. Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis were a blast to watch, but i'm not a big fan of Travolta. The dialogue is usual Tarantino affair, with lots of cursing and pop culture references and usually pretty clever. It never got boring, either. Some scenes are unnecessary (the very disturbing bondage rape scene). Not for kids.… Expand

Amoral garbage. Most people don't understand this because a) Tarantino, though repulsively glib, has a rare gift; b) this gift is for making slicker than slick movies that don't bear a moment's reflection; and c) most people don't like reflecting on the kind of bloodbaths Tarantino offers here.

Those people who rate this as crap probably gave movies like starship troopers a perfect 10. this is not one of those movies that you watch once. Every Tarantino movie that I saw was different. Everytime you watch it, you will notice something that you havents seen the first time. Pulp Fiction is deffinately the best movie of all time.

Absolutely thrilling. One of those movies that you just want the scenes to keep going, even after you've finished the movie.

One of the best movie i've ever seen.

One of the key films of modern cinema. Still as fresh as the day it came out, but Quentin never equaled it in subsequent films, though he still has his moments.

A bad ass mother of all films, samuel'l rocks, travolta's smooth and bruce is bruce (awesome)!!!

One of the greatest films ever made.

Good Christ. Don't know if I got it entirely the first time (I was 14), but the second time was definitely the charm. Hilarious, tragic, cold, compassionate, sick and oddly human, this is a FILM. Don't think "Titanic" or "Gladiator", or for that matter even the wonderful "Forrest Gump," because this movie is a formal breakthrough like none of those Oscar winners could be. Think "The Godfather." Think "2001". This movie is a classic.… Expand

I loved it the first time, then really didn't the second time. Nevertheless, it is an important film, a groundbreaker in cinema.

Sean W. would not know a good movie if it hit him in the face and wiggled. He probably loves the Russia House or Ishtar. WATCH THIS MOVIE.

This movie is a classic. Sean W's favorite movie is probaly battlefield earth.

A true modern masterpiece in all of it's lovely horror and perversion. Greatest Film of the 90's!

One of the best pieces of American pop culture ever crafted. Anyone who has a problem with the subject matter of this movie needs to lighten up, get out and get a life. Pulp Fiction is an incredible, original, stylish film which explores great dialogue, interesting characters, with intriguing scenarios. It's one of those movies that leaves you with unforgettable moments. It's ferocious fun... Isn't that what movies are SUPPOSED to be all about??… Expand

I waited 9 years to see this movie and after 9 years I see that I should have waited longer. I'm sorry to say this but I do not think that rape is entertaining. Also, after seeing Reservoir Dogs I do not think that torture is entertaining. I feel horrible that this sick crap entertains so many.

Sorry to come back again, but Gordon's given me a lot of thought with his slightly epic review thing. He's gone and got me thinking about subjective realities there - for example: "One reviewer mentioned the "right balance between tension and black comedy" in Uma Thurman's overdose scene" That'd be me then. But he goes on to say: "But, what balance? Braindead indifference pervades the entire scene, as though stupid laughter and infantile apathy were the highest forms of human expression." Now, unless there's two films doing the rounds called "Pulp Fiction", something's a bit odd there. Because I saw the same scene as him and I got tension and black comedy. He got indifference and blank-eyed contempt. "Black humor can have a point but context is everything." Damn straight, and I like Pulp Fiction's grasp of that. But Gordon, now he can't find it. Again with the odd. "Pulp Fiction, on the other hand, is far too graphic to be dismissed as a cartoon" - thank God - "and far too infantile to take seriously," - once more with the me not seeing the same things; I saw a very grown-up film when I saw Pul Fiction, not one "offending without purpose" - offending isn't even in it. Then we come to "Yet, Tarantino gives Jackson the bully pulpit upon which to spew his mostly insane--albeit cleverly written--vomit, which we in the audience are supposed to behold as some higher, magnificent, and original form of hipsterish wisdom combining timeless truths of the Scriptures with the nihilistic cool of the gangsta." The problem here is that word "supposed". You, Gordon, THINK we were supposed to get all that out of it. I THOUGHT we were getting Jools' redemption - and I am assuming you're talking about the scene in the café at the end, where he recites it calmly to Tim Roth and actually, for the first time, thinks about what it means. I ask for clarification because I hate to think you've put so much effort into analysing him shouting it to people he's about to kill - which is signifying of nothing so much as Jools being scary as part of his job. Oh, and don't call it vomit, because it's childish. Glib labelling is the curse of modern criticism. Still, it's just that once so I'll let you off. But anyway, that whole subjective realities thing - you looked at Pulp Fiction and saw "Tarantino's addlebrained, infantile piggybackriding on the shoulders of inhumanity." You saw "a movie that glibly takes pleasure in people as morons mangling one another". You saw a movie that pushed a lot of your buttons. I saw a brilliantly crafted, constructed and acted piece of pure cinema, because I wasn't looking at the violence. I don't mean to criticise because you were, however - the violence and unpleasantness was obviously too much for you to see beyond, and that's fair enough. But it's also Your Problem, and one that's blinded you to the undeniable and inherent merits of the movie. Personally, I don't think it was taking pleasure in Marvin's head exploding, and if the characters were making jokes about "nigger's brains on my windshield" they completely passed me by because they seemed to be taking the situation deadly seriously to me. If he was making the film you describe, Gordon, QT wouldn't have bothered with the conversation about the hamburgers or foot massages, or the lady contemplating having a pot belly. If he was following through with the mean-spirited film you saw, he wouldn't have put the dialogue in, he would have gone straight to Marvin's Head. There's a film came out a year or two later called "Frogs For Snakes". It's about Barbara Herschey quoting film lines and shooting people for 90 minutes. It looks to me a lot like Pulp Fiction looks to you. The film takes no pleasure in the events, but it takes pleasure in the people caught up in them. That's enough for me; it's not enough for you. It doesn't make it any less one of the best films of the last ten years. And it doesn't make QT an "accomplice of schoolboy louts and retards". There really isn't any need for that. QT made a film you don't like, he didn't insult your mother. Oh, and again with the use of "retard" as perjorative. Won't have it in the house. Anyway, as far as I can tell, Pulp Fiction is indeed still a masterpiece, and always will be one - if you can see past the unpleasantness to the very real soul of the enterprise. If you can't, fair enough, but that's not QT's fault. Sorry.… Expand

Yes, there are movies much gorier than Pulp Fiction but few directed by major directors that are as ugly. A movie like Schindler's List or Platoon is more violent quantitatively than Pulp Fiction yet Tarantino's violence is just a smart-dumb declaration of contempt for humanity. Personally, Marvin's head exploding upsets me far less than having other characters go at length, cracking jokes about a 'nigger's brains splattered across my windshield'. This is to be expected from the likes of Howard Stern or Mancow, but I expected more from the director of Reservoir Dogs. One reviewer mentioned the "right balance between tension and black comedy" in Uma Thurman's overdose scene. But, what balance? Braindead indifference pervades the entire scene, as though stupid laughter and infantile apathy were the highest forms of human expression. Inhumanity can be funny, black humor can have a point but context is everything. Three Stooges films, though cruel, are too outlandish to offend. Dr. Strangelove's misanthropic vision nests a pessimistic but genuine humanism. Pulp Fiction, on the other hand, is far too graphic to be dismissed as a cartoon and far too infantile to take seriously, offending without purpose. As for its big Bible (mis)quote, it's a clever piece of writing and powerful instance of Jackson's estimable talent but offensive served up as a sermon. I don't doubt that criminals have their unique moral codes; that they, like everyone else, go thru some kind of existential trial-by-fire whereby limited knowledge, pride, guilt, fear, weariness, and other factors merge toward formulating a new outlook on life; in other words, no one is ever totally condemned nor saved; we hover between sin and redemption. Yet, Tarantino gives Jackson the bully pulpit upon which to spew his mostly insane--albeit cleverly written--vomit, which we in the audience are supposed to behold as some higher, magnificent, and original form of hipsterish wisdom combining timeless truths of the Scriptures with the nihilistic cool of the gangsta. I just don't buy the hype. It's a cliche in movies to have blacks play judges because of the popular image of noble negro having overcome centuries of suffering; Jackson's sermonizing is in that mold; it's Tarantino the white boy's infatuation with black machismo smoothed around the edges by the notions of the spiritual negro, placed atop the altar of the church of the hipsterich badass cool(it's just a foulmouthered version of Legend of Bagger Vance). To each his own; I find it hollow. Tarantino has debased his considerable talent for ugly purposes. No matter how gracefully one shovels s***, it's still s***. Why go to such length to create plausible characters, write witty dialogue, mimic real gore and violence to wallow in foul artifice? Movies reflect human thought, values, emotions, and society. A movie celebrating dogfighting--even if all the dogfights were faked--is as bad as dogfighting. A movie glorifying the Holocaust or the Gulag--even if no one's actually killed--is as repugnant as the real thing because human thought and action are not entirely separate, which is why Birth of a Nation is not JUST A MOVIE. Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, if not a dogfight movie, is a humanfight movie. A movie that glibly takes pleasure in people as morons mangling one another. Movies don't have to show only the good side of mankind nor do they have to be didactic. But, the difference between Goodfellas and Pulp Fiction is Scorsese doesn't turn himself into a fanboy accomplice of louts and retards. But Pulp Fiction, unlike Goodfellas--or even Reservoir Dogs, for that matter--is nothing without Tarantino's addlebrained, infantile piggybackriding on the shoulders of inhumanity. That he's clever and packed his film with all sorts of homages to Noir, French New Wave, forgotten TV shows ultimately mean nothing; one can find similarly pointless but interesting conservations in Taxi cabs. What matters is Tarantino decided to make his film revolve around disturbing violence, mayhem, and murder, yet all he could come up with are gay redneck jokes, a splattered 'nigger's brains' joke, and a nauseating pulpy sermon. It's a good movie for anyone who wants to squeal like a pig which sadly applies to most critics who bent over backwards--or forwards--for this rot. … Expand

[***Spoilers As Well, Probably...but then, if you haven't yet seen it, why on earth not? Shame on you.***] No, Yoon Min Cho, you DON'T get it. You miss the point completely. I have no idea what film he (I assume, from the Erin Brockovich review he wrote, that he's a 'he') saw, but the one I saw wasn't all that violent. Really. Not for looking, anyway; violence happens, but not often in full view of the audience. You think you see more than you do see. You don't see the guy being slashed with a sword. You get a big before and a few seconds worth of after, and you think you got everything. You don't see Marvin's head burst. QT knows that would break the film altogether, so there's a shocking explosion of quite a lot of blood that takes a second or two, long enough that you think you saw what happened. But you didn't. Maybe if you got off the moral high ground and just watched the film, without the Daily Mail factor, you'd enjoy it more. Sorry to be harsh, but any review whining about violence misses the point so completely it's almost worthy of praise. The famous waking-up-Uma-Thurman scene, for example, flirts with tastelessness, but just about manages to strike the right balance between tension and black comedy by meticulously setting up the situation and characters ages beforehand. That's skill, right there. But YMC, it seems, didn't notice the skill, because he was too busy being ticking things off on his "violent bit scorecard". He probably wasn't even listening to the asbolutely magnificent dialogue because oh my God, it's sick and wrong. In fact, he can't have been, because he completely missed the significance of the Bible misquote. Unless he got up and left before the end of the film, as seems likely. Ugly as filmmaking? Not here, mate. As for being offensive as moralizing, I suppose it would be, if it was intended as such. But - here's the thing - it isn't. Yoon Min Cho, with the greatest of respect - because to my mind you've posted some of the most interesting and intelligent reviews elsewhere on this site - take a look around you. See all those trees? There's a wood there somewhere, if you care to look for it. With that review you give yourself a 2 rating, not the film. The film - just to stray onto the percieved topic - is a masterpiece. A masterpiece with swearing and blood, but if that makes a difference to you, don't watch the thing. And don't blame QT when you don't like it. If it's anyone's fault - and it really isn't - it's yours. Don't compare it to dogfighting, for heaven's sake - it really is just a movie. Oh, and don't claim the moral high ground and then use the word "retard" as a perjorative. Not funny.… Expand

Just one word: "Masterpiece."

One of the best movies EVER!

THIS MOVIE ROXX.

This is one of the greatest movies of all time. You can watch it as many times as you want and the quality never lowers. This is one hell of a film.

This is one of the greatest films of the last 15 years. I read a few responses that were negative towards the film. These Tarantino haters claimed that the characters in Pulp Ficiton lacked character. Please!!!! In what other film can you see two characters having a conversation about McDonalds and be entertained by it. All of the characters were deeper than the criticizers give them credit for (maybe you need to open your minds and watch it again!). That Tarantino simply pieced the movie together is wrong. Each scene compliments the last until the beginning is the end.... Great movie, watch it twenty times and you still won't completely get it.… Expand

One of my favourites' all time movies. wonderful story/script/direction by QT, great cast, great acting, fun, violence, dialogues that will remain impressed in your mind.

As quirky and surprising as a movie gets without being annnoying. This movie might possibly have the perfect script. The one liners are priceless and this will be one of the best roller coaster rides you will have in film. Enjoy.

This film clicked for a lot of people. It isn't the film's fault that twisted disturbed people make up a larger share of the market than many of us would prefer to acknowledge. In spite of a really slick job of editing and creative construction, the characters seemed to have nothing more going for them than a guy like me with nothing better to do than watch this movie. The beauty in this show is more in the chain of situations than in people and values. The scene which suddenly involves a cardiac needle is one of the most startling daring things I've ever seen on film.… Expand

Anybody posting a score in a red box should remove their head from their ass before using their keyboard. I suppose they enjoyed "Forrest Gump."

This was a pretty good movie, it's a lot like speed but in a subway. The main leads are really good.

Okay, so some people didn't like it, but 0 points is a bit harsh! Not saying it is the best movie of all time but it is surely VERY close! Personally i loved the film for start to finish...

Not for everyone but for those who can stomach it, this is great entertainment! Funny, weird and never dull. It's pulp, it's fiction, it's bloody claptrap! And it's great. (p.s. Gordon and Gilbert, no one can ever accuse you guys of not having opinions. Your reviews take longer to read than it does to watch the damn film!)

The best movie ever. simply stunning, great acting, dialogue thats tottaly belieavable, great cast, hillaious, violent. magnificent.

Absolutly brilliant a must see tarentino RULES!

Best film i have ever watched.

Without doubt the most original film of the 90s, Tarantino's perverse profundity will resonate with the media savvy and satisfy the most caustic of critics.

Overated.

Yes, the movie was funny. It was NOT original, just like nothing QT does is original.
