Pulp Fiction

WARNING LONG REVIEW!IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, pulp fiction is there greatest movie ever filmed. I am only 23 but I have easily watched this movie at least 100 times. Such a good movie. Criminally underrated even though it's regarded as "one of" the best movie ever made, that's why I think it's underrated, to me, which again is my opinion, is better than the entire godfather series. The fact it's overall rating by everyone is 8.9/10 is just sad. I mean if you miss a SINGLE scene you have to rewatch the entire scene or movie because it just won't make any sense the rest of the way. Outstanding acting, I can't say the plot is the best because the whole plot of the movie is basically these 2 guys (Vince and Jules) and an occasional 3rd (Butch) are out to live a criminal lifestyle and that's about it. But the acting and the FILMING just makes the movie. I can't stop watching pulp fiction and probably never will, when I saw it was only $5 on prime I could click "buy" fast enough. 10000000000/10 brilliant movie

I first saw this movie shortly after its release in 1994. Thought it was strange to bizarre, a bit funny, way too much violence, but I did like the acting of Samuel Jackson, particularly when he did his preacher-role gig.The movie popped into my head again in 2002, in a very unusual circumstance. We had driven a hard twelve hours in the open desert, to a special, obviously remote spot far from Riyadh, where stood the giant stone monolith called Abu Kaab. What was once called Ayer’s Rock in Australia is a first approximation. Three wonderful days of camping, without moving, before pushing west through the desert to Al Baha. A dream vacation, at least for some. Six vehicles in total. Four other vehicles contained expat Saudi “old hands” who knew the rules, of camping, and deportment. The sixth vehicle was the “wild card.” A mother and her two late-teen sons, 19 and 18. First desert trip. Oh, and one might say they were the “highest ranking” Americans in the Kingdom, if one kept score in a particular way. On the third day we decided to visit the nearest desert village, some 40 km away, to top up the petrol and pick up a few odds and ends for the push to Al Baha. The two teens were wearing SHORTS, and in terms of “deportment,” particularly in the rural area of Saudi Arabia, was the equivalent of the women going in topless. Felt I had a clever way of getting the message across that a change of attire might be in order.“Have either of you ever seen the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’”? I had in mind the scene of two of the protagonists, rather tightly restrained in the basement, awaiting their fate from someone with less than honorable intentions… and how I hate to see these two young lads left over in that village. Wow! Talk about throwing a cat in with the canaries. The mother hated the movie, rightly, in my opinion, due to the violence. Her two kids had the entire movie MEMORIZED! It apparently was/is a “cult classic.” I could only think of one other movie that rated such devotion: “La Cage aux folles.” It was the “midnight classic” at the one and only art theater in Atlanta. The gay community would pack the theater, having seen it perhaps 50 times before, and shout out every line with the actors! Odd perhaps, but far more understandable than making “Pulp Fiction” a similar classic, to what purpose?To answer that question, Quentin Tarantino concocted a movie that has this constant undercurrent of violence that maintains “high dramatic tension” throughout, as in, who is the next person that will get “blown away,” and for what non-reason? Then stir in a heavy dollop of drug abuse that might only be resolved by a syringe-full of adrenaline straight into the heart. In real life this is never done, and I have to wonder how many people in that same real life have died from attempts at this. (“Hey, man, it worked in the movie!”)So, I just completed my vow, once made in the Saudi desert, to re-watch this movie. Sure, call me a prude, even a bit squeamish, but I simply do not like gratuitous violence, particular when scripted to shock (“Hey, man, I’m the one in the backseat picking up the pieces of skull”). And lawdy, what does it say about our society that this movie is a “cult classic”? Still, Jackson delivers a pretty good rap when he is quoting the Bible, which saves this movie from the ultimate damnation. 2-stars.

“Pulp Fiction” forever changed cinema, showcasing a filmmaker with a knife-sharp vision operating unshackled at the absolute height of his powers. From its shrewd curations of pop culture to its electrically charged creatures of the underbelly, Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece navigates life’s dirty back rooms with a wild ambition, darkly searing wit, and a gut-level intelligence like no other.Yet before the first frame was shot, “Pulp Fiction” was already a towering master class in screenwriting, and in all phases of the game: Brilliant, scorching dialogue, uniquely consuming character sketches, and a savant-like melding of unorthodox, fragmented structure into a seamless whole conspired to light the fuse on a film that once detonated would tear down the confines of cinematic structure. “Pulp Fiction” liberated the way stories are told.Over a quarter century after its release, “Pulp Fiction” remains a candidate for film’s greatest work. And while its final resting place in the order of things is debatable, its atomic impact on everything that followed is not. - (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!) - WATCHED IT? THEN WATCHLIST:"True Romance," "Being John Malkovich," "Stadium Anthems."

Reliving my youth with this Quentin Tarantino movie, because I've watched it so many times and loved it. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. From Travolta to Willis, to Samuel L. Jackson, this was a movie that will never loose its edge, and without the violence it would have not worked at all. I noticed one reviewer said the movie was only good for the music. Yes, the music is classic for all eras. I would take that to be a youngster, but that's okay. I would give this film ten stars if it were possible. So many great scenes in there. I own this DVD and it's well worth the money to buy it to have a clearer version. Quentin Tarantino never fails to deliver a top rated movie. Now, go watch "Kill Bill" and "Kill Bill II" with the beautiful and mega talented Uma Thurman, who was in "Pulp Fiction" too. That will totallymake your day complete.

Quite possibly the greatest film of all time.It's a fantastic cult classic! To be honest I didn't really need this on BluRay, but I went for it. Not a massive difference in quality, but then the film was made before BluRay so I didn't expect there to be.I love this film, and I always have. Fantastic acting, amazing directing and brilliant story.Tarantino at his finest.

Classics can't be reviewed, and hence I wouldn't say anything about the film, apart from the fact that this is one of the most darkly comic and/or comically dark films that you can see. It's fast, funny, tragic, sharp, and surreal. In short it's incomparable, and you better watch it, or else you wouldn't even know how deprived you have been so far.The DVD is also a classic in the sense that it's very-very reasonably priced, has the necessary things (including SDH), and is quite clean in terms of picture.Do you need anything more, before you place the order? I don't think so. Happy viewing.

Dieser Streifen ist ein Meilenstein der Filmgeschichte. Wer “Pulp Fiction" nicht mag, versteht ihn nicht. Die ständig wechselnden Episoden, die genialen Dialoge, welche jeden echten Tarantino-Streifen unverkennbar als solchen entlarven und die absolute Coolness dieses Films zeigen, wie viel Schweiß und Blut Quentin Tarantino in Filme wie diesen, als Regisseur & Drehbuchautor steckt. Nicht zu Unrecht räumte er hierfür auch den Oscar für das “beste Drehbuch” ab. Da der Film aus mehreren Episoden, die erst am Ende einen Sinn ergeben, besteht, hat man überhaupt keine Möglichkeit, sich im Vorfeld ein Ende auszumalen. Bis zur letzten Sekunde ist alles noch alles möglich (was bei einem typischen Tarantino-Film eigentlich immer der Fall ist), was den Film nicht nur interessanter macht, sondern den Zuschauer bis zum Schluss neugierig macht und ihn an den Bildschirm fesselt. Ganz nebenbei war die Besetzung ein absoluter Volltreffer: John Travolta, in der Rolle seines Lebens, Samuel L. Jackson, der für seine Darstellung des Jules Winnfield für einen Oscar nominiert wurde, Bruce Willis in absoluter Höchstform und klassischer “Die Hard-Manie” (und viele weitere geniale schauspielerischen Leistungen, wie z.B. von Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Uma Thurman… Um es kurz zu machen: Dieser Film ist an Genialität nicht zu übertreffen. Ein echter Tarantino eben!

Obviously the film is one of the all time greatest ever made and the film deserves 5 stars.I am giving this particular version 4 stars because I've bought the Pulp Fiction 20th Anniversary Deluxe Box [Blu-ray] and the memorabilia is nice but the blue ray inside is the basic version in a standard blue box. I would have expected a more individual box as it's part of a special box set.

I saw this in the cinema back in the day and when it came out on standard dvd and when it was on the TV. I then re watched it on Sky Cinema on the Q Box and I was most impressed by what I experienced Especially the facial features of all the characters. Samuel L Jackson and Christopher Walken where most striking to watch. If you like to people watch then this film is a must if like to draw portraits then this film is a great study of the human face.

This must be one of the best movies, ever! Bravura performances by a splendid casts, embroiled in a hilarious, time-bending interplay of plots!A must-have for the video library!

I,ve seen this film so many times and the DVD is starting to lose it's sound quality, so I have purchased a replacement on VHS ( Worth keeping your old system ). Tremendous film, with lots of swagger & swearing. Their are so many excellent scenes in this film, but I have chosen two, the Dance scene in the club with John Travolta & Uma Thurman & the best scene of all in my opinion, is Uma Thurman drugged up to the eyeballs dancing & singing to "GIRL, YOU'LL BE A WOMAN SOON" This film needs to be seen late at night with the sound full on ( Hence the VHS ) & Yes it's not for the faint hearted but boy, does it have an effect. One of the best Hard Core movies ever made. A special mention too to Samuel L Jackson for his unique and rightly award winning performance. Phew

It was a film that I had heard a lot about but never seen before. I had heard that it was very violent but by todays standards it was quite tame. The only feature that was unpleasant, was the act of sodomy. If you can overlook that, it was quite entertaining.

The film itself is totally brilliant, and so i will not review that as it is part of the pop cyulture now. I will say that if you have not seen it then watch it. If you have not seen it fir awhile then watch it again! It really is that good and always rewards repeat viewing.The real interest in this Blu-Ray is the package of Extras. This is very strong indeed, plenty of featurettes and info to help you understand the process of the film. I would happily watch these extras again (after the film of course) which is a strong recommendation.

having watched this movie with my husband a few times decided to buy it for him as it is one of his favs. There are certain scenes that are really good and I feel that you get more from them second time around . This is action packed from start to finish and you cannot get up and grab a drink with out missing a link that may be a important part of the story later. All the actors ae good when you look at the cast list you know you are in for a treat, but if you dont like real life in your films this is not for you, when someone gets shot there is blood and plenty of it . I think that this is not a film for youngers it is for over 18.

I love this film and decided to invest in the blu ray version after breaking my dvd copy... Woops.And whilst buying this film, i found thisPulp Fiction Bad Mother F***er WalletA wallet of great quality and "the path of the righteous man" verse is on a card in the inside. It looks brilliant and is now my own little piece of the film.The film is brilliant. John travolta, uma thurman and samuel l jackson give the film a great personality.I love it all though im sure it is not to everyones taste. A classic tarrantino film and i love it! Pulp Fiction Bad Mother F***er Wallet

Quentin Tarintino' second feature crackles along just nicely. Ultra cool pop culture phenomenon and worthy of all praise routinely bestowed upon it. Spawning a host of iconic lowlife characters and famously substantially enhancing the career prospects of all involved. Samuel L Jackson and Uma Thurman are particularly good. The Blu-Ray looks good and features loads of extras.

Such a great film and one that should be watched more than once to pick up many asides that you may have missed first time round. Absolutelyin my top five films.

Ihadn't seen it before (really!) and was waiting for all the violence I'd been told it contained. Still waiting, lol, but it was a good film, but then, anything with Ms. Therman can't be all bad, can it.

Another brilliant film from Mr Tarantino.Disc in good condition box bit scruffy but otherwise fine.
