Not even close to Tarantino


No OFFENSE to others opinion:
This was a good movie but not even close to Tarantino - not even close to being in Pulp Fictions league. The characters are not near as cool, QT creates a some tension, this was like a TV version of QT. Sure there was blood spatters, weird (not interesting) characters, power tools but not even close to QT on a bad day. That's just my opinion I'd give it a 5.5 or 6 not bad but nothing close to Samuel Jackson or Cheeseburger Royale or Uma Thurma.

why would a movie need to be like Tarantinos one? There are many good producers, not just QT.
Thursday was a great movie and thats it, no need to compare it to Tarantinos ones...

You don't think THURSDAY was trying to copy Tarantino's PULP FICTION? That's ridiculous. It's a good movie, but if Tarantino never became a filmmaker THURSDAY wouldn't exist.

Pretty sure that this comparision came right from your mind, because, I don't see no comparision with Tarantino on this board. Thursday is a great movie, and it stands by itself. No need to compare it to a way higher caliber movie like Pulp Fiction
