I just watched Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction for like the 30'th time or so ... I consider this to be the most brilliant movies ever, to me this is the best piece of cinema ever created ( Fight Club being a very close second to me ) ...

The soundtrack, the acting, the story, the dialogue is just absolutely f*****g brilliant and f******g funny as hell ...

Anyone else thinks Pulp Fiction is a great movie or just Meh ?

I seriously almost started crying when I heard some of the dialogue, Just the genious of it ... it makes me cry :D

I watched the first 45 minutes and turned it off. It just seemed so boring and pointless, and I hated the dialogue.

There's nothing special about Pulp Fiction, or any of Quentin Tarantino's film for that matter.

Style over substance. And the first film he directed (Reservoir Dogs) is a ripoff of City on Fire.

well I think a lot of people miss the point of it; it's basically written as a comedy. and I don't like it as much as Reservoir Dogs.

I think it's a pretty funny movie. I like Tarantino's sty1e. But it's certainly not brilliant.

It is brilliant, though very overrated. Bruce Willis' scenes ruin it for me though. Except for the Gimp scene.

Lol finish it. You probably would still think it was garbage, but I think it was pretty epic. I dunno if it was better than fight club though.

its ok but quite honestly its not overly enticing and the story doesnt really draw me in that much. Sure Samuel Jackson is great in it but he is only in the beggining and end and there is a lot of boring stuff in between. Although I do love it that Trovalta's character dies because he did not choose to see the miracle the way Jules did.

I agree with the exception of Resevoir Dogs which was really fantastic.

I liked it, but I don't know why it appears in every one's top ten. It's nowhere near as good as it's been made out to be. If I didn't see it before I heard the hype I probably would have been gravely disappointed.

The Willis segment of the movie was awesome, but everything else didn't really hold up. It's okay I guess, but Tarantino's a hack. His movies aren't that great and Rodriguez is a much better director.

Nope. Like Jazz_Fan said, it ripped off numerous other films. The same can be said about his entire filmography. People hail him as an original filmmaker, which could not be further from the truth.

I absolutely despise him for the mockery that he is bringing to the German people with his new movie. No I am not a national socialist, it's just a shame that society labels all the infantry of the wehrmacht who fought to vigorously for their country and homeland and many who knew nothing of the happenings in the holocaust done by the SS to begin with as "those damn Nazis!!11".

Open your eyes and do not fund this movie.

As for his other films, I've only seen Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction and hate how he thinks of himself as a unique director just because he exploits the use of monotomous character soliloqies which are of no use to the movie except to get Quentins own pointless and essentially wrong ideology of life out to his audience. I also hate his excessive use of stylized action which is seen by many as "different" and "it goes there"...

I saw this movie a few days ago and it's a pretty great movie. Some parts are brilliant but I wouldn't say the movie as a whole is. I also saw Jackie Brown recently which I never see being brought up when people talk about Quentin Tarantino's movies. I thought that was a great movie too. I should probably give Resevoir Dogs a watch after all the good things people here are saying about it.

It was pointless, entertaining but pointless. The scenes were disjointed, the were also scenes in the movie that referenced other movies and that's all. There's also no story to it, and the characters are just catalyst for trivial conversations.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities 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 attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!

How about you open your eyes and realise that in the Army, during that time, people were pissed at everyone. German = Nazi as far as the U.S. Army was concerned, and it is that attitude that is portrayed in the movie not because it's what Tarantino thinks, but because that's how it is in the social context.

It was a good movie. Not as good of a movie as I was led to believe, but good. It's also the only Tarantino movie that I liked.
