Summary: Twisted, not what you think it is at first glance
Review: I admit I was not looking forward to renting this movie but my friend forced me. I was wrong, like many other times I have been.

Throughout the entire movie my friend nudged me asking "Do you like it?" and all I could do was sit there like a gawking fool. I can't even describe how amazing it was and how it made me rethink a lot of my own personal opinions. The music performed by the Dust Brothers fits the style completely, consider trying out the soundtrack as well.

This movie is not just a 'guy' movie, it's for anyone. Don't overlook this movie by its title, propaganda or anything, just see it with an open mind

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not For The SLow Minded
Review: This movie is one of those movies you are gonna have to watch twice. After you see the end you are gonna stop and say what the [heck]! The visuals display and filming is amazing it adds to the feel of the movie. It is one of those must see movies if you like movies like "The Game" (If you have not seen this one it is another one worth seeing) you will enjoy this movie. You never lose intrest while keeping up with the story. you probably are not gonna want to watch this one with the kids but it is rather enjoyable. i have this one on my list to buy right now and hope you at least will spend a couple bucks to rent it if you are iffy about buying this one to add to your collection.

Summary: two sides- i pick the high road
Review: -Personally fight club is one of the best movies that I've ever seen. it is brutal and in your face with all the wrongs and rights of life. A movie that was truly overlooked until its video release. With the movies cult like success there have been two views created. One view is that fight club is a pointless over thought gore fest waste of time. I believe a lot more women think this then man. Its not a sexist thing, but most guys I talk about fight club with seem to at least some what like it and most women seem to hate it. I think its a little funny because a lot of women love to see shirtless ripped men.
-Beyond the who likes what part, we come to the actual movie. Most people who read already know the goods about fight club so will just skip to why they should see it. First of all, despite being the title of the movie, this movie had little to do with fight club. Its in depth look at the go nowhere life of a man in middle management (Edward Norton). So anyone who was turned off by the previews, don't worry its a completely different experience. This movie is based on a book (of the same name) that is intense and well thought out so anyone who thinks this movie might be a scriptwriter's weekend off mission, you should once again think twice. Edward Norton (my favorite actor: American history X, primal fear, etc.) and Brad Pitt give one of the most insane duo performances ever. David Fincher (my favorite director: se7en, the game, panic room, and sadly alien 3) does in outstanding job of making this movie dark and hard to swallow.
-I can understand why people would hate this movie. it has a style that is very masculine and has a dark overshadow but no one by any means should over look this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An under-appreciated movie
Review: I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I originally didn't want to see it when it first came out. Like everyone else, I thought it was about the eponymous "Fight Club." It's not, really. It's about a man who feels disenfranchised -- he finds no satisfaction from his job, his possessions, his general life. He is an insomniac who is addicted to self-help groups, even of those for which he does not suffer. Eventually, he get himself involved in something that evolves beyond his original intention and finds himself in way over his head... with surprising results.

Summary: I'd Like To Thank The Academy
Review: This is one of the most brilliant and visually stunning films for years. David Fincher's masterpiece deserves more recognition. This is a deep and clever dark film. I know this because Tyler knows this.
And to all those narrow-minded, whinging people that go "Oh, but is sooo violent. How can we as a society eat up this voilence...blah blah blah voilence" - shut up. Can't you recognise the need for catharsis? To make us all complete? Can you grasp the message? If you haven't seen this film then see it. If you have, see it again.

Summary: Morbid, interesting..awkward ending
Review: Brad Pitt and Edward Norton star in this modern age morbid tale of discontent directed by David Fincher. "Fight Club" is an orginization that collects all the anger and discontentment of society into one large street fighting gang. Pitt (Tyler Durgin) is a sleezy projectionist/waiter that entrances Norton who is a low scale desk jockey working for some car company into joining his masquerade in the streets. The two become enthralled by their creation and soon fight club becomes a weekly ritual, and then, a daily one. Fight clubs begin to spring up across the country, and soon Durgin is a celebrity within the underworld. An uncanny relationship with a doped up drug adict teen aged girl tear the bonds between Norton in Pitt. The movie ends in a strange, apocalyptic and not very satisfying manner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not what you'd expect...much, much better!
Review: When this movie was in the theaters, I wrote it off as a stupid, testosterone-driven buddy movie. I figured at the end, Pitt and Norton would square off in a trite, Hollywood ending.

After I finally rented it (and then immediately purchased it), I realized how badly I had misjudged this movie.

First off--yes, it is violent in spots. But even if that stuff bothers you, I urge you to see it anyway. Without divulging too much of the plot, Fight Club is really more psychological than anything else. You actually need to see it more than once to appreciate the dialogue, the philosophies of the characters, and just how amazing and innovative some of the visual effects are.

Just to give you a little insight--The plot, minus its twists, is pretty straight forward: A Yuppie whose name is never spoken in the film(Norton) meets a rebel named Tyler Durden (Pitt) who uses fighting as a means of self-exploration. Tyler is opposed to how soft society has become, and rejects material possessions in search of something more.

Along the way, you'll be treated to some great one-liners, some twisted yet well-thought out philosophies, and some great acting by both Norton and Pitt.

Everyone I've leant the DVD tells me this is the most bizarre film they've ever seen, and they loved every minute of it. I think you'll feel the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of best films ever made. No, really
Review: Many films based on books, whether they are good or not, do not usually capture the brilliance of the book. This film exceeds it. What's more, unlike a lot of films (Jurassic Park for example) the film version follows the book quite closely. It would be easy to pass off Fight Club as another violent male aggression film like Die Hard, but this is so much more. It explores philosophies on life and has a deep and intricate plot.

If you like dark grim violent films, then you cannot go wrong with this. But this isn't mindless or even gratuitous. It has a superb storyline (which I won't ruin) but the jist of it is exploring both sides to someone's personality. The film is also very well scripted, with extra bits that the book didn't have. It changes here and there, and sometimes scenes have been twisted. But this is a true and justifiable interpretation of the novel.

Another great thing about this is the acting. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter are all supurb. Carter prooves that being attractive doesn't mean you are automatically an airhead..., and although Pitt is the sort of bloke that other blokes love to hate (why are you punishing me God?!) the truth is that he is a very good acter, not just some guy with a cute ass who has wormed his way into your sister's heart. Lastly, there is Edward Norton. Pitt has the famous name which is perhaps why he is portrayed as the lead character (its kind of a cross between him and Norton really) but Norton is the narrater and he plays his part best in my opinion. But all three of them are fantastic.

The only pitfall is that the conclusion is not very well explained as it was in the book, but this does leave the viewer asking questions which is a good thing.

All in all this has everything - a great storyline plus great acting, directing and soundtrack to drive it through. Truly one of the best films I've ever seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: This movie is brilliant. Suburbia, Ikea furnishings, middle management, single... who wouldn't develop an alter ego. On my top ten list.
