This film was wildly popular in the mid-90s, and I'll admit to enjoying it back then. But, 25 years later, it hasn't aged well. Tarantino's slick innovative cinematic style is now seen as gimmicky and trite. The staggered time line thing has been overdone to death.

When you get past all the imagery and hip dialogue, there's really nothing there. Its not really storytelling, the screenplay is probably the worst thing about Pulp Fiction. Ironic that Tarantino's screenplay was the only Oscar winner.

I give it 5 stars because there were substantial innovations in the film, just not enough to overcome the total lack of substance.
