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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Best movie of all time.

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.

We are movie fanatics who watched this cinematic pile of crap with seven other people ranging in age from 22 to 86. We watch a lot of movies in all genres, and we all thought it was the most overrated piece of vulgar garbage with gratuitous violence, foul language, and on top of it, waaaay too boring. Don't know what deep thought anyone is talking about. We have removed this from our collection. BTW, I have never given a movie a 0 before, and we have over 2000 movies in our collection. I echo those who say stay away.....… 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.

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

It was a good film but way too overrated, it seemed to drag on too much for me and the dialogue was sometimes too pointless. whenever i say reservoir dogs is better than pulp fiction evreyone thinks thats stupid but reservoir dogs was short and entertaining. i only find john trovolta and samuel jacksons roles the only neseciary and entetaing roles to watch. In reservoir dogs all cast had its part in the storyline and alll eqaully entertaining. also there is too much copying from reservoir dogs, the diner scene at the start, the gimp scene which is a torture scene lik reservoir dogs and the mexican stand off at the end. Tarantino is a unique director but in some parts of this film a found him just a bit too bizzare.… Expand

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.

Brilliant cast, brilliant acting, brilliant dialogue and plot.Best modern film available.

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

I can't believe I waited 15 years to watch this movie. It is brilliant.The dialogue crackles and there are so many sublminal messages. When I finished watching the first time I had to start the movie again and again and again.....

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.

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

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.

This is this most original movie I haved ever experinced. When it first came out back in 94' when I was seventeen, I remember watching the movie and saying to my friends (I haven't seen a film this great since "The Godfather." Every line in the seems important, every actor seem to complete the film, and everything action that anyone makes makes the film better.

I think Quentin Tarantino is genius; his writing and directing were extraordinary, outstanding performances from all cast members, all made Pulp Fiction a classic masterpiece.

This is what I consider to be the best film of the last 20 years. It is a film that totally reinvented hollywood. It showed that an independent film could garner as much attention as huge budget blockbusters headlined by big name actors. Moreover, Bruce Willis set a precedent by taking a huge pay cut to star in an indy film. This encouraged other prominent actors to do the same. Moreover, the film inspired and influenced dozens of other titles that followed. It left an indelible mark on the American psyche with its witty humor, over the top violence and iconic style. Too bad it didnt get the best picture award it deserved. It lost out to Forrest Gump, the same year that The Shawshank Redemption was also nominated. Samuel L Jackson was also robbed of an oscar when the academy decided to give the best supporting actor award to Gary Sinise. No disrespect to Mr. Sinese but Samuel L Jackson's performance as Jules was one of the most memorable in modern cinema.… Expand

No less than a masterpiece. The acting is spectacular, Mia's hot, and there's NOTHING to dislike! Clearly Quentin's best film, and possibly one of the best films ever.

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.

One of the best movie i've ever seen.

Funny as hell, Witty as could be and more interesting than a box with a question mark on it.

Wow people are sensitive over violence. I liked the movie everything except the butch scene (BORING) and the rape scene.

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.

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.

Yes, the movie was funny. It was NOT original, just like nothing QT does is original. And I'm not going to get past a Black man being raped and all the "ni..ers" uttered by QT: they were unnecessary to what little plot there was. The Boxing chapter was the best, but there were better ways have Marcellus forgive the slight. I don't know why ppl are obsessed with QT, other than the sad idea that ppl are more depraved than I thought. After sitting thru Kill Bill recently, QT's mediocrity was confirmed. He has technical gifts but can't write, can't act and has no discernible panache.… Expand

I hadn't watched this movie for a long time after its release, but i have always heard people telling me how good this movie was and that i should watch it. to be honest it was totally way below my expectations. I mean, the filming style and the direction was entertaining, but how much longer is Quentin Tarantino going to rely on that. He really needs to come up with something new...by the way they never really show whats there inside the suitcase!!! explain that!… Expand

Perhaps the greatest film ever made, but only a few inches from horrible. This is risk-taking at its most exhilarating. Minor tweaks in the script or the casting, one would think, might disrupt its undeniable rhythm and punch. Though there are many reasons to love and admire this film, all can be summed up by merely watching people watching this film--and how great it must be to watch a film school class picking it apart scene-by-scene. Everything, every last line, every minor quiver of the speaker's upper lip, operates faithfully in divine service to the film's totality.… Expand

One of the best films ever!

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

Is the best film.

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

[sarcasm] Max W, you seem smart. I like smart people. You should tell the world about Tarantino's crappy ideas and the then REDO Pulp Fiction with your amazing filmmaking skills. I'm sure we would all be pleased with the results. [/sarcasm] But, seriously, this movie is great - if you don't get it... move to Canada (or something like that).

One of the best movie i've ever seen.

One of my faves.

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

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

Haha, i just think that its funny that people get on here and actually give this movie a bad rating becuase it makes them look extremely ignorant. Some people just couldnt see a modern masterpeice if it was beating the shit out of them. Witty dialogue and clever plots make movies, if u want to see big time explosions watch CNN, if u want to see horrible acting watch Keanu Reeves or Paul Walker becuase you wont see any of this garbage in Pulp Fiction, but you will see top notch actors in top notch rolls in a top notch movie. I gave this movie a ten because i couldnt go any higher. This movie and American Beauty are at the top of the list of my all time favorites running neck to neck.… Expand

Easily one of the best, most finely-crafted films ever. The only movie that could ever reach the cinematic brilliance of Pulp Fiction was Wizard of Oz, more than 70 years ago.

About as perfect as a film will ever get. See it.

Best film i have ever watched.

One of the greatest films ever made.

Greatest movie of all time. It's too bad the scale doesn't go up to 11.

Contrary to popular belief, the word perfect was actually an adjective made specifically to decribe Pulp Fiction.

The greatest movie of all-time. An all star cast, interesting plot, and great director. Wht more can you ask for? If you haven't seen it, watch this movie. Pulp Function is wicked fun ans suspenseful. Greatest movie ever.

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

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

Funny, Cruel , Unusual and Crazy sum up what Pulp Fiction really is. It is a mess of creative and experimentalism that works so well that you just have to love it. Coming out in ' 94 two years after Reservoir Dogs Tarantino's debut. Pulp Fiction stands as one of the best of the 90's if not the best. It was even featured in AFI's top 100 movies and was a critically acclaimed film. Quentin Tarantino does a splendid job with this interesting and genuine flick but all you can remember after the movie are the wise words of the bible (Ezekiel) that Samuel L. Jackson repeats every time he is about to kill someone. The movie clashes together brilliantly and holds together till the end strong. If you have a large problem with violence on screen I suggest you stay away but remember you may be missing the best films of this time.… Expand

Best movie of all time.

I went to see this movie with my husband when it first came out. I found it so disgusting and frankly boring that for the first (and only time in my life) I walked out of the theater after about 20 minutes. While my husband watched, I struck up a much more fascinating conversation in the lobby with an older usher from the U.K. who had been a jockey.

This is the best movie of all time. No Questions asked.

You see, the thing about Pulp Fiction is that it's meant to be disgusting. It's meant to shock people, but yet in that sort of comic way. If you aren't a big fan of dark/black comedies, this is probably not your type of movie. Having said that, I wasn't too big on those types of movies until I saw this masterpiece. Quentin Tarantino is not a favorite of mine, but I believe that what he has done with the editing, camera work, and plot structure is mezmerising. Strong characters, and repulsive yet witty and smart dialogue is only a few of the elements that creates this unforgettable film in the history of cinema. Three stories combined into one that cycles through and never recycles. A piece of artwork that makes me absolutely excited to see the original theatrical version which was longer than the versions created now for VHS and DVD. Uma Thurman's strongest performance to date. Kudos to Tarantino! Cheers!… Expand

Quentin Tarantino at his best. It has heaps of interesting separate stories and is peaced together so that your favourite character is always winning at that time.

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

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

It's violent, gory, explicit, offensive, bloody, politically incorrect, abusive, agressive and confusing. And most of all, it's (one of) the BEST MOVIE(S) EVER! The witty dialogue, the roughness, all stories combined into one, mending and together forming the most entertaining, toughest and funniest movie by Tarantino.

[***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

this is the best movie in all the movie history quentin tarrantino is a god.

Best movie ever..hands down!

Cinematic genius at it's finest. One of only 10 or so movies that I could watch again and again. People who rated this movie poorly are doing so to be ironic or who can't see the greatness through the violence. I see, hear or experience something different every time I watch this movie.

To see it once is novelty, twice is to witness filmic fraud. If you are superficial, you will love the cool one-liners and banter, and even the gore. But Tarantino failed to fool me into believing this was anything more than several film shorts, with a common character played by Travolta. To put this in a top ten greats list does injustice to hundreds of films.

A long winded, often boring, waaayyyy too long movie written around catch phrases and gratuitous violence that sold a fortune of cool posters to college kids all over the world. One long t.v. commercial with endless "props" to 50 years of pop culture. Gets a three for some of the acting and nothing else.

A great movie, cinematic masterpiece. People however don't understand what exactly "pulp" fiction is. Usually when people refer to a pulp fiction [something], they are usually referring to a piece of media that's low quality, trashy, and generally contains all those lovely tidbits that people are complaining about.

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.

Great movie. One of the best movies of all time. The thing that makes this movie so great is that it doesnt take itself too seriously. Yes the jokes help this movie out a lot, but who cares the jokes are classic "Royal with cheese", "Big Kahuna Burger" "La Big Mac" that opening scene of the movie is classic and probably one of the best parts of movies of all time. So many classic lines from this movie and its also well acted and directed. Its a crazy movie, that doesnt make sense, but it doesnt try too, and for those of you who say its too long, go watch a Disney movie or one the horror movies out there today, maybe their more your type of movie, you dont have to think as long.… Collapse

Really funny and good to watch over. Every time i see it i pick up something new.

If you didn't like this movie see the doctor.

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

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

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.

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!

An excellent movie Tarantino out does himself again.

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.

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

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

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

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...

It is one of the best images of GRACE when Willis seems to be coming up from the depths of hell at the pawn shop into freedom, but by grace does he decide to turn around and free Marcellus from his torure. Then I will lay my vengence upon thee declares the lord. Right on. A very brilliant picture.

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

Uh. It's great.

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.
