Pointless

Rating: 2/10 (19 May 2014)

I just recently saw this movie for the first time, and at the end I was thinking "That's it?" The movie is supposed to be about 3 or 4 different story lines told out of order that interweave with one another. Only, they don't interweave. Lumping these stories together in one film is pointless. What "interweaves" between the stories are a few characters, which could easily be replaced by random new made up characters. Literally nothing that happens in any of these story lines has any effect on the other story lines. This movie has good elements. Telling a movie out of sequence isn't a bad idea, nor is regular dialogue, or language or violence. But none of these things are used in this movie to help tell a story. They're just there for the sake of being there, which makes this a terrible film. I didn't feel anything for any of the characters in this movie. The entire chapter of Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega was boring pointless nothingness. The Gold Watch actually had a plot, although Vincent Vega randomly gets shot to death. You literally could have put any random hit-man in that bathroom and it wouldn't have changed a thing. The one dude in the Bonnie Situation isn't killed in the apartment just so Vincent and Jules have something to do before breakfast where the robbers are, the only place in the entire movie where there is any real connect between any of the story lines. This entire circus is built off of violence and drawn-out dialogue which is not enough to make a movie.
