Summary: A liberating shock piece for the male soul
Review: Fight Club is an in your face, violent tale that is remarkable for its depth of insight into today's 20-something. This movie is the polar opposite of a "chick-flick." The film is based around the life of a young professional who realizes that he has been robbed of his right to be a man (Edward Norton gives another stellar performance). The story is about his struggle to embrace and reclaim man's natural instinct towards violence in a positive way. If you liked the way all the story lines in Pulp Fiction came together at the end, you will love this film. This one belongs in every man's collection alongside Braveheart and Galdiator.

Summary: Corporate made Anti Corporate American film is still great.
Review: This movie excited me when I saw it because it was the first major movie playing at cineplexes that seemed to criticise corporate consumer society. There are issues of class (as in economic), questions about quality of life, and a critique of modern society like none I have seen in a movie with this distribution. You'd expect it from an indie film usually.
There is some irony that it was released by a major movie company and Brad Pitt is the main ego, Tyler Durdun. When Pitt's character criticizes the image of mans toned physique in a CK ad on a bus, one has to laugh. Pitt is exactly the kind of image that his character hates, but oh well. The point of the movie, the message, is still retained.
In light of recent events (Sep.11th), a film about home grown terrorists is probably not too popular. Never the less, Tyler Durden and company remind us all that we "...are not the contents of your wallet, your car, your income, or your khakis."Amen.

Summary: Superb! Must Be Seen Twice To Fully Take It All In
Review: The first time I saw FIGHT CLUB I was kinda like, "Was this not the stupidest movie ever?" But the second viewing you understand it better, and that makes the story go smoother. I think, (as we
probably all did), that FIGHT CLUB was going to be non-stop action, great acting, and maybe little, (if any) storyline. But boy was I wrong! Once you get the plot, it seems like the action scenes are more enjoyable and the film don't seem to drag on. The story is about a insomiac, (Edward Norton), who is looking for relief. So he joins this cancer club, where everyone comes together to tell their stories to one another. This "brutal honesty" as Norton puts it, help him release all his feelings, and can rest. Then he meets a soap salesman, named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) on an airplane. But once he gets back from his business trip, he finds that someone has committed arson, and his condo is ruined by a fire. This is when Tyler comes in the picture. As they start to fight, (not because of any problems, they just want to beat the hell out of each other!), they realize more and more, that other men want to fight as well. Thus begins FIGHT CLUB. With performances from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bohnam-Carter, (which are Oscar caliber, or they atleast deserved a nomination), FIGHT CLUB is a brilliant film, with a really superb DVD.

Summary: amazingly good
Review: i, at first, didn't want to see this movie. I thought it was going to be a macho movie about guys beating eachother up. it was NOTHING like that at all. i finally saw it, and it's one of my all time favorites. Fight Club is amazing...the way it's filmed, edward norton's performance, the thoughts and ideas expressed, everything. I used to think brad pitt was a pretty boy model, but my view on him has changed after seeing fight club. and for all those reviewers that say this is a 'white guys movie'. i'm a girl, and i enjoyed this movie very much! it's a must see, you won't regret it!!

Summary: Thought-provoking COMEDY!
Review: This is easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's visually impressive (top-notch job by Fincher); Norton, Pitt, and Carter are great; and then the story itself is original on the point of genius (...I'm sure everyone has a different, heated opinion on that). Most of the complaints I've seen posted are either that Fight Club is too 'pretentious' or violent. First, the 'moral overtones' are not that didactic; sure, Tyler rants quite a bit...but you can take it or leave it. Think of the movie as a case study of the self-destructive/fascist revolutionary mindset. Also, the tone is lightened quite a bit by the 'dark' comedy present throughout. Next: the violence in this movie is not that extensive. Some scenes happen to be intense, but are below the level of violence talked about in the daily news. Don't think you're going to watch a Disney flick: it's not. But it's sure-fire not as violent as most hollywood tripe. One person dies... several fist-fights. Anyway, just watch it with an open mind. And realize it is, to a great extent, a satire of both our consumer culture AND nihilism.
