Pulp Fiction IMO- Best movie of 1990's and best movie of the century!

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2013)

To call 'Pulp Fiction' a great movie is simply said, not a fair judgment. Pulp Fiction is so much more than a movie and back in its release year, there had never really been a movie like 'Pulp Fiction' apart from perhaps Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece that was his directorial debut 'Reservoir Dogs' To describe 'Pulp Fiction' is like truly describing why you love chocolate. The plot to the movie is not easy to explain but simplistic to watch and understand. Apart from such stylistic choices made by Quentin Tarantino that involves using music that adds to the tone of the movie, Quentin Tarantino's writing is far superior to any director working today. The dialogue in 'Pulp Fiction' is what I believe to be the greatest dialogue in cinematic history. It is easy for anyone to say, "Wow! I could do that. It isn't hard!" but reallyNo man on Earth could use such entertaining dialogue in what is basically a dialogue based movie. There was not a minute of dialogue that bored me in the morning. The dialogue was harsh, it was hilarious, it was brutal, it was classical and yet, it was so clever. 'Pulp Fiction', turning 18 years old this year still has people that love this movie and even to this day, people repeat quotes from the movie. That's how catchy the dialogue is. The story is that based around two mob men who come across a hard day whilst trying to deliver something to his boss, a boxer whose life becomes at stake after a boxing match, a story of the mob leader, a story where one of the two mob men must take out the gangster's wife on a date and a story based around the opening scene, which is the restaurant robbery. Pulp Fiction is NOT an action movie nor is it a comedy. It has elements of both but Tarantino is a master at blending elements from certain movies he particularly loves. The characters in this movie are all fantastic, with one of my favourite characters being the Wolf! I just love that guy and Harvey Keitel really is amazing in that role. However, without a doubt the scene stealer in the movie is Samuel L Jackson as the amazing Jules Winnfield who steals the last 30-45 minutes of the movie. Seriously, that part 'The Bonnie Situation' feels like a 10 minute scene. That isn't to say the rest of the acting is mediocre. That's just harsh. John Travolta as Jackson's sidekick in this movie is superb and is the other scene stealer, Bruce Willis as Butch is brilliant, Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace is surprisingly perfect, Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer as the restaurant robbers are great as is every single member of the cast including director Quentin Tarantino in his cameo. The movie, at a run time of 150 minutes (2 ½ hours) did not at any moment bore me which is amazing considering that I must pause the film at a time to look at how much I've seen. This movie was not like that, I sat down and before I knew it, the film was over! That's how amazingly paced and how entertaining the movie is with only a few gunshots and minimal violence presented in the movie. If you're looking for a big bloody action movie, check out Tarantino's Kill Bill, but Pulp Fiction most certainly will disappointment those looking for big action movies To conclude this review here, it is almost factual and not opinion based in saying that 'Pulp Fiction' is easily one of the greatest movies ever made with almost no flaw at all with perhaps the greatest writing, one of the greatest stories and characters and brilliantly and flawlessly acted. The movie, at an immense 150 minutes kept me going through the whole movie staring in awe at how amazing this movie is- That is being said from a person who is watching this movie for his third time.
