Pulp Fiction is overrated...

No

It's rated just fine. It was like nothing else at it's time. Brilliant film with fantastic dialogue.

You're still not addressing the issue. Explain why you think it's overrated. What specific aspects of the film did you have an issue with? What didn't live up to the hype?

The great thing here is that whatever you say you're not gonna be 'wrong'? People might disagree with you, and I suspect they will, but everyone is entitled to an opinion and yours is as valid as anyone else's. The trouble is you haven't actually given one yet.

Jeez, give him time to Google a response.

I think the OP is on to something here. I think I might just have a browse through the IMDB top 100 movies and create a few threads calling out overrated movies on the list. Why? Because its made out to be better than it actually is.

Another thread that won't really work anyway.

Fact: Movie is highly rated.
Opinion: Movie is not good.(Subjective)

You can't have a conversation beyond this, really. Especially the way the OP is shrugging it off his own thread already.

Not as many cages rattled as I'd say they hoped. Still time, though.

Anyone wanting to know what the word "overrated" means can look it up in the dictionary

"English, mother****er, do you speak it?"

No one wants to know the definition of "overrated," I'm sure most have a basic grasp as to its meaning. People are asking as to why you find the film overrated, as you made the thread/statement.

"Overrated" has become a quick and easy way to completely discredit something a person dislikes, be it a film, song, sportsperson, etc., without actually giving a proper justification as to why the person, place or thing, in question is actually "overrated." Once the subject has been classified as "overrated" by its accuser, the accuser then tends to hide behind the classic defence "well, you know, that's just my opinion and I'm entitled to it."

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?"

Pulp Fiction fully deserves it's plaudits. No scene is wasted in the movie. Even during the moments when the dialogue does not develop the plot, when it's just two blokes shooting the breeze about cheeseburgers and the little differences between the US and Europe, or a junkie telling his dealer about how his car was keyed, the movie still holds up and holds the viewer's attention.

It has some of the most iconic scenes and pieces of dialogue in movie history, as well as an instantly recognisable soundtrack. It's also a film which has aged well, due to how it was shot and delivered. Some classics look just like that, classic. Whereas Pulp Fiction still looks, for the want of a better word, relevant.

Lucky for you though "You happened to pull this **** while I was in a transitional period."

Have to say that at the time it blew everyone in the cinema away...

As has been said before, it was like nothing we'd ever seen before at the time.
