Great film, but not at the top

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2003)

Some people love Pulp Fiction, and some people loathe it. I feel that it is a well made movie that truly deserved an Oscar for best writing. However, I don't feel that this movie is the blockbuster event to end all movies, and that Tarantino is a movie god for making it. No. It is funny, it is satirical, the actors make very good performances, but frankly, it is just a movie. Now I do believe it belongs in IMDB's top 250, probably even the top 50, it's good, but no masterpiece. Although if it weren't for people like Samuel L. Jackson or Christopher Walken acting in this movie, it probably would have been regarded as some wannabe "new age" style of movie. However because Jackson delivered such a strong performance, and Walken's Cameo was so seriously hilarious, this movie does get to be in a genre of its own.
