A masterpiece? Do me a favour!

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2008)

A masterpiece? Do me a favour! Perhaps it's because of the hype that surrounds this film, but I was really disappointed with what I saw.
Two and a half hours was too long in my view, and nothing particularly out of the ordinary happens.
I didn't find it clever, nor were the "unforgettable" scenes like the dance between Travolta and Thurman or Samuel L Jackson's speech unforgettable.
Maybe because cinema has advanced so much since 1994 that I would have had to watch it then to appreciate it, but I only recently saw Hitchcock's Rear Window for the first time and enjoyed that immensely.
People go on as if this film has the best storyline and gangster scenes ever but quite frankly, it doesn't.
Moreover, I found Natural Born Killers more affective for it's style than Pulp Fiction.
It does have some good scenes, and I was rooting for Bruce Willis' character throughout, but I saw nothing that makes this film outstanding or worthy of being so high in IMDb's rankings.
