it's at least worth a watch.

I thought it was a great flick.

Some of Tarantino's best work in my opinion.

Its a classic and very influential movie, however, if you have never seen it, there is no way it can live up to the expectations that have been heaped on you. Since it has been so copied, it will likely not have the same impact on you. It also does not sound like you have an open mind about it. However, if you liked RD and IG, I don't see why you would not like PF.

Yes, it is. But I've found that building any movie up too much generally leads to a let-down.

I'd be shocked if you haven't had some of the better scenes of the movie ruined at this point. That shite is heavily referenced EVERYWHERE.

Samuel L.'s "Say What Again" speech comes to mind.

This.

Any movie labeled "Greatest of" such and such is doomed for people who haven't seen it. It is nearly impossible to live up to those expectations.

I think it can still live up to expectations if he has not been spoilered because it just has so many crazy arse no way to see it coming scenes.

It's a great movie. But it loses its appeal because people won't shut the frick up about it. Also, from my experience, people who claim this to be the greatest movie ever made fail to even acknowledge the entire generation of films/directors that inspired it.

Truth. Most don't know that essentially, Tarantino is a brilliant and clever copycat. It's his mold and he never does it maliciously. It's more about HIS love for film than anything else.

Just cause somebody did something first doesn't mean you don't do it better.

I don't need to know who made bacon possible to know bacon is good.

Maybe I should have left the second comment out as it is more of a minor pet peeve to me than anything.

But I will stand by the fact that Pulp Fiction gets talked about WAAAAYYYY too much to the point where its almost not even enjoyable.

I didn't like the movie at all. But I'm not big on Quentin Tarantino's movies.
