Good Yet Over-rated

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2014)

Quentin Tarantino is a good director who has a knack for combining wildly imaginative music selections for his movies that seem to work so well you have to laugh with joy.
He also is known for dark comedy, combining unexpected twists that dismay audience members to the point they often refer to him as a "genius".
The problem with "genius" is that what is genius to some is mundane to others.
Tarantino is also known for his plot twists. However the excessive focus on plot twists creates an expectation from the audience, which opposes the basic appeal: the element of surprise.
In Pulp Fiction, twists are introduced with little finesse. Tarantino has improved with the years, but Pulp Fiction, an early film, becomes boring before it is over.
Certainly worth watching, but early and raw compared to Tarantino's later films.
