There are some good set pieces and lines of dialogue in the film but that's not enough. It's a B movie script given high gloss by Hollywood and fails to be neither.
I have seen it 4 times now to almost convince myself that my views are wrong but I still have the same opinion. Of course if you like it I am cool with that honestly but it's not a 'fun' movie at all for me. Maybe if it was a low budget movie without fanfare, I could have enjoyed it more.

Well, like I said. I wasn't really bothered about the intention, if it actually was meant to be a really serious cool film, then it has a bit more pretense than I first thought, but if I find what's meant to be a really intense dramatic film hilarious, then so be it. It doesn't take away the enjoyment factor.
I just remember really enjoying True Romance, I didn't even know what the budget was and I wasn't aware it had a real strong fan base. I knew it was favoured by the critics.
