True, "Pulp Fiction" is not for everyone. It never was. If you love this movie or hate it, there's nothing wrong with you. It was made specifically NOT to follow the "Hollywood formula," and as such it tends to be very polarizing. The "Formula" movies are _created_ with the specific purpose of appealing to the widest possible audience.
So, if you hate (loathe, can't stand) "Pulp Fiction", you're not alone - and vice versa. Revel in the fact that at least it _exists_ and is successful. Without it (and other independent films), movies in general would be far, far more boring. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Thomas S.'s review is correct. By the way, when this film was first released in theaters, I actually got up and walked out (my state of senses had culminated to "ok no more" when we got to the "Bring out the Gimp" scene). Today it is viewed by myself as one of THE most creatively worked movies, with genius-level insertion of meanings to grasp which are/can be easily overlooked. Looking back, I see it was "just a few moments" before it's time, which, also upon reflection, is quite possibly most auspicious of "Perfect Timing." Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

I can see why it was influencial I felt almost a "Crash' type of vibe with the plot interactions. I'm not sure why Uma Thurman is on the cover seeing as her part isn't even that huge. This movie likes the F bomb so if you are easily offended I would skip it. Its worth watching once just to say you did but I'm not sure how many more times I would watch it.

I love Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta; It's hard to believe two great actors were in such a pathetic film. I rank this high on my worst movie ever list right along with Natural Born Killers!....My opinion of course as I understand a lot of people really liked this movie (yuk).

Read More Simply one of the worst and over rated movies I have ever seen. It is nothing short of tragic that such a large portion of the unthinking masses of America think this blood bath is some sort of modern art piece. Director QT puts the end at the beginning or whatever and we are all supposed to faint in the presence of genius - right. Those many enthusiastic supporters of this 'work' obviously have a very narrow experience of cinematography. Not recommended. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
