Fun to watch (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2004)

I like True Romance not for the story, but for the cool and funny scenes that make it so fun to watch. The story was okay, but not as good as the others Tarantino wrote, such as Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. I think the movie might have been better if Tarantino had directed it himself, but this is still a good movie and fun to watch. What makes it so fun to watch isn't the story, but certain scenes, like when Alabama's getting beat up but she just smiles and flips the guy off. Or any of the scenes with Brad Pitt, when he's high and acting like a moron. My favorite scene is when Dennis Hopper is being interrogated by Chris Walken and he's just making a fool of the guy, knowing, but not caring, that he's about to get killed for it. One thing I don't like about this film, however, is the ending; Clarence was originally supposed to stay dead, but they changed it in the movie so that he ends up living after all, and that ruins the ending of the movie. The casting and acting are excellent, however, and Dennis Hopper and Chris Walken were both a bonus to have in the movie. I recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of either of those actors and to anyone who likes cool movies. Four stars out of five.
