Before I saw this I assumed it was probably overrated. I was wrong. It lives up to and surpasses its reputation in pretty much every way. I would definitely recommend.

When you watch this movie you are not waiting for the event, you are enjoying the moment, a gunfight, a conversation, a dancing scene, and enjoying the amazing acting by everyone.

This movie is such a masterpiece for many reasons. The way everything connects makes it really important for you to pay attention. Lots of action and very funny. It also has a really good balance of everything you look for in a movie.

Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction is a terrific film. It also gets better with each viewing, especially if one of those happens to be on a big theatrical screen where all of the BIG compositions get bigger and more detailed. How much else is there to talk about it after all these years? It's filled with dynamite, sudden and always interesting action, great and naturally clever dialogue, and memorable characters. Also, the acting is always something to behold as by turns straightforward, over the top, subtle, and just downright menacing and spot-on. The directing is one of the strongest that we've seen from Tarantino, as he makes his choices in pacing with shots in unconventional ways but never in a way that would be distracting. And writing, already noted, has been copied by many, and only equaled by a select few.
The dance sequence. Samuel L. Jackson's superlative monologuing. It has loyalty among low lifes, and many other odd characters that are all bad and not one is a villain or hero. And somehow even after years of parody and terrible rip-offs, it holds its own and- as one can say after seeing it at a midnight screening- holds its audience as much as it had the countless times before they saw it (or if they are, the first time). The first time you're surprised, the second time you look for the clues or other ambiguity, and then the third time you laugh you head off. The fourth time... I'll leave to you.

This movie may be the most overrated film of all time, in my opinion. There is no point. It is not particularly funny. It is not particularly thought provoking. It is not some kind of masterpiece. It is, however, well made. Has good acting with a great cast. Is a fun way to divide up the scenes and plots.
I was ready for this movie to end far before it did, because I learned about halfway through that there is just no purpose to it! No meaning! I definitely enjoyed aspects of it and there was some legitimate tension, without question. It all just felt messy. Truly my favorite part of watching pulp fiction were two scenes that I had seen from different memes 100 times before, and never knew where they came from. It was a, "oh, hey, I recognize this image!" That was the most joy I got out of this.
By no means is it a trainwreck, but to be considered such a timeless masterpiece of cinematic glory? Not a chance. I would like to speak to every single person who gives this a 10 and have them explain to me what exactly this film does well, because I feel pretty confident everyone just gets in line and calls it amazing because that is the 'cool' thing to do.

Pulp Fiction, despite borrowing from just about every movie ever made, is the most invigorating cinema experience a filmgoer can ever hope for. Its hodgepodge of violence, mayhem, and generally deviant behavior is an assault on the senses, not to mention political correctness. However, despite all the film's cleverness and style, it hinges on the performance put forth by Samuel L. Jackson as Jules. The fact that he was denied an Oscar is a downright shame. Martin Landau, the best supporting actor winner that year, was terrific and funny in Ed Wood, but Jackson was perhaps the most commanding screen presence in film history as the bible-quoting, godfearing hitman. The last scene in the coffee shop with Tim Roth still sends chills down my spine, no matter how many times I've seen it. Rumors of a prequel involving Jules and Vincent (John Travolta) have been floating around lately. If Quentin Tarantino wishes to regain the fans he lost with the dissapointing (but still pretty good) Jackie Brown, he should get to work right away. I'll be the first in line to see the finished product.
A pair of assassins in search of McGuffin, unclear what's inside but it's probably nothing, employed by Marcellus to recover his debts, in the course of their work, people lose their assets; one hitman's called Vincent who likes to shoot up, not just firearms but with needles close up, when out with the wife of the boss cuts it close, as she snorts all his gear and then goes overdose; a boxer called Butch throws a fight the wrong way, Marcellus sends Vince to reclaim the foul play, but events take a turn, there's a bit of a twist, as the boss and the boxer are caught in a tryst; a cleaner called Winston removes every trace, of all that remains when you're shot in the face, and a pair of till robbers with new openings, help Jules to consider, should he do other things.
This film is almost perfect. Memorable acting, unique scenes and humorous dialogue make this film a masterpiece.
I can't exactly tell why I love it so much, but this is the best movie I have ever watched. It is well known that Tarantino is a genius, but this is by far his best work. This is what you call a masterpiece.

One of the best movies ever. It's a perfect example for the use of a MacGuffin. It's not free of violence, but i mean it's a Trentino Movie.

Pulp Fiction is to be seen to be believed, it was big, it was brash, it certainly arrived with a bang.
One of the most stylish films ever made, Quentin Tarantino delivered something that viewers had been starved of for so many years, Pulp Fiction offered wondering very keen, like a new voice.
Le Big Mac, that scene where Jules and Vincent are rambling on about McDonalds, just before doing a hit, that's one of.my favourite moments, the iconic moment though, Vincent and Mia dancing, it has to be one of the greatest movie scenes of all time, Chuck Berry, a scene I repeat and repeat, it's sublime.
I'm not even sure if I like the storyline or not, it's maybe a little trashy, it just doesn't matter somehow, the film's good points are turbocharged enough to hide over any cracks. It's wonderfully violent, incredibly well paced, and full of action.
Astonishing cast, Travolta at his best, Jackson, Thurman, Keitel, Roth, Willis, the names are endless, brilliant.
The music, the music is just astonishing, it's what ears were designed for, you'll watch this and you'll be reaching for the soundtrack.
What cinema was made for 10/10.

This is arguably one of the most influential films of all time. Story-telling with totally entertaining dialogue with teasing subtext. If you're a film student, this is a must-watch. Some movies, as great as they are, once you're done watching, you know, you would never want to watch them again. Pulp fiction gets better with each screening as you discover more layers in the story.
This is one of those movies no matter how much times passes, it is still fantastic from beginning to end!
The characters, story lines, music, it all just worked. A+ to this day

Good day, dear friends and dear readers of reviews! Today I want to write about one of my favorite and many times revised American crime thriller 1994 "Pulp Fiction". The director of this film is the incredible Quentin Tarantino. The duration of the picture is two and a half hours, they fly by as one minute. The cast is very strong: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis and a lot of other great actors that I love and respect. A bouquet that is necessary! I really like the work of Quentin Tarantino, his style is always very different from others, it is difficult to confuse with someone else. Perhaps this picture of all his most cool. The film has everything you need to have fun. Bright actors-stars, atmosphere, humor, dynamics, music and much, much more! This film is memorable from the first time, but you still want to review it. Everything is unrealistically cool, romantic, unusual and interesting. I look and take my breath away. I know all the dialogues by heart for a long time, they are simply incomparable! All the movements of the dance Uma and John have long learned and danced. Who hasn't tried to repeat them? In general, it is very difficult to find fault with something in this film. In my opinion, the picture is perfect! I don't see the point in retelling the plot, everyone knows it anyway. And if there are those who have not seen the picture yet, then I strongly recommend it to raise the mood and get pleasure. I hope that those who love this film very much, I just decided to remind you about it just in case. I wish you all a great mood and a lot of positive emotions. Thanks for your attention.

After hearing so many great things about pulp fiction I was intrigued. A story consisting of a bunch of smaller stories that interweave is an interesting concept. And Quentin Tarantino absolutely doesn't fail to make it great.
The story is driven by multiple but few characters characters that all serve their own purpose. Pulp fiction is filled with incredible action scenes while also keeping a realistic feel with personal conversations, regret, and emotions.
With great performances by every single actor involved especially Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta who both do amazing jobs in keeping the movie realistic while also showing a lot of emotions.
The movie is also incredibly filmed. With amazing angles and shooting scenes that make Pulp fiction a beautiful film with beautiful scenery, it's truly one of the best films from the 90s.
I highly recommend you watch Pulp Fiction, it's a beautiful film with amazing acting and actors that all perform incredibly.

Truly a one-of-a-kind movie. Tarantinos distinctive dialog, the non-linear structure and the general vibe make this one of the all time greats.
