The Movie is Great

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2006)

This was a very nice film. I got this movie expecting to be confused and perplexed at some of the flashbacks but they made sense. This movie will leave you confused so feel free to rewind and re-watch scenes you don't get. I'll start with the fact that the actors were all superb. Samuel Jackson delivered lines whether they were taken out of books or just very genius. Travolta had great screen presence and I liked how laid back and cool he looked on screen. The hair-dos and don't's were all fun and sometimes you could laugh at some of them. Uma Thurman does a surprisingly great job as Mia and Bruce Willis did his role right as well. This movie surprisingly has a lot of humor from the funny exchanges between Jules (Jackson) and Vincent (Travolta) or if you can notice the cheekiness of Mia Wallace (Thurman). This film was well constructed mainly because there weren't any plot holes in it. Watching the first 2 hours will leave you a bit confused. Tarantino must have thought this as well so he goes back and fills in all the holes and gaps such as the retouching the pre-credit sequence so it has more meaning. There are some disturbing sexual content scenes in this movie that will leave you a bit disgusted (fast forward). Travolta and Thurman had good chemistry as well as Travolta/Jackson because they just were all laid back and cool. When it came time for Jackson and Travolta to get tough (since they are hit-man) they do it with vengeance. This movie has a happy ending that will leave you satisfied after this lengthy movie. Length definitely helped this movie out as it covered every aspect such as walking from a car and going inside an apartment. Nothing was rushed here and Tarantino made sure everything tied together despite having slightly different story lines. This movie has action, drama, romance, and crime all sewn in nicely to make sense. This movie does deserve its top 10 spot and it isn't over-hyped. This is a classic film that fans of Tarantino or his books will enjoy. In the end of it all I was satisfied.
