After 10 years, 'Pulp Fiction' still holds up as an absolute classic, and thankfully Beuna Vista/Miramax have released this gem on PSP for all us to enjoy.
How does it rate.....well, not so good I'm afraid.
Picture:
Like Kill Bill Vol 1+2, the picture is nice and sharp, and in it's Original Aspect ratio of 2:35. The black levels are a little mirky and lack that blackness of say Sin City, but still holds up well. A little desaturated on UMD, but i guess, so was the original film.
Score: 3/5
Audio:
This is where it falls to pieces. Basically, it stinks. A terrible audio presentation that begins and ends on the lowest volume I've experienced on any UMD. Even with the UMD volume set to +2 and on maximum, it's no-where near what it should be. It's trouble with the mastering. It's lacking on both the high ends and low ends. Lacking sharpness in the gushots that usually scare the hell out of me at the start, to the bass and richness of the infamous soundtrack...it lacks all.
Score: 1/5
Extras:
None, zilch, even the terrible menus were ripped straight from the DVD.
Score: 1/5
Overall:
One of my fav films, and one i was looking forward to all month, is below scratch. Not to say that it's unwatchable, just don't expect anything near great. Very bad Beuna Vista, very bad indeed.
Score: 2/5

Impossible to forget!
Tarantino really makes his space in the director chair with this movie. Starting with the great cast, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta and more. Tarantino's amazing screen display, as well as an original plot makes this an amazing movie. From the beggining, to the end and beginning again(you'll get i't) you'll be blown by this movie. It mixes a lot of genres and the divisions of chapters and stories makes it really good for the trama. Really good movie and for the psp even better!!

Director Quentin Tarantino really blows up minds with this movie. One of the best films made in this time. Tarantino takes us back in time to an almost samurai movie, mixed with today's reality and problems. Uma Thurman's caracter the bride is a "super hero" for women of nowadays. Really great movie, original plot and lot's and lot's of blood and overall ACTION....

Sin City has finally come out on PSP, and my god it doesn't get better than this.
A few words about the movie - This is, without a doubt, a MASTERPIECE of film-making, and definately live's up to the hype surrounding it's release.
Now that's said, let's get onto technical side of the UMD disc.
Video:
Sin City looks absolutley JAW DROPPING on PSP. Consistently sharp, contrasty as hell with solid "BLACK" blacks, no evidence of grain or compression artifacts, and no bleeding whatsoever...it's a SOLID performance from Mirimax/Dimension. The OAR is untouched, keeping it's original 1:85 ratio (with tiny little black bars at the top and bottom). Subtitles are large, displayed in yellow, and easily readable against the image. Overall, this is... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 16 August 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
