Summary: Quirky, twisted and uncomfortable - but fine filmmaking
Review: This video is weird, provocative and totally consuming. It kept me intrigued for its full 140 minutes and when it was over I thought about it for a long time.Edward Norton stars as the unnamed narrator who cannot find peace in his life in spite of his perfectly furnished condo. Brad Pitt plays the charismatic bad boy Tyler Durden, who changes the narrator's perspective forever. Together they form a fight club, an underground support group for disaffected males who pummel each other into ecstatic enlightenment. It's a twisted black comedy that intensifies in its violence and its meaning. Ed Norton is one of the finest actors around today and it's amazing that he didn't receive an academy award nomination for this role. He acts with his whole body, knowing just when to wince or open his eyes in rounded wonder. We see his character shift back and forth, experience pain, pleasure and fear as well as all the nuances of emotion that a human being is capable of. Brad Pitt's performance is more one dimensional but he also gives a fine performance. And Helena Bonlam Carter as the chain-smoking woman in their lives has a small but significant role. I tried to read the novel by Chuck Palahuniuk several years ago but never got past the first chapter. I found it dark and depressing and hard to follow. However, as a screenplay and assisted by the writing skills of Jim Uhls, this wordy and strange novel takes on a whole new life. David Fincher, the director, brilliantly shot the fight sequences shadowed in darkness, but still full of blood and gore. There's a surprise at the end of Fight Club which was very much in context with the plot although it takes the viewer into a different sense of reality. It certainly made me want to view the film again to catch all the little hints that must have been dropped along the way and that I missed. I couldn't help thinking about it later and I expect I will continue to do so for a long time. This is a quirky, twisted and dark film recommended only for those who are willing to experience some uncomfortable moments. So be prepared for the discomfort as you enjoy some good filmmaking.

Summary: Javi can't buy this
Review: I really am disappointed. I think the movie wsa too violent for 14 year old children. I wanted to buy it for my cuban baby, Javier, but now I can't. I think the MPA needs to get its act together.

Summary: I'm Jack's Review
Review: Ever had the feeling like Neo while seeing the Matrix? Ever feel there's something wrong in the world but can't put it to words? Fight Club tells exactly what is wrong with modern society. The movie is excellent. You might not like it at first, but after seeing it again changes your mind. Everybody who went to see this movie thought it was about fighting... it's not. Edward Norton is one of the best new actors around. David Fincher did an excellent job and the music, from the Dust Brothers, fits the mood exactly. You should get this DVD. You get not one, but two discs. The first one containing 4 audio commentaries! The second is the best. The second disc is packed full of stuff about the making of the movie. Highly recommended!

Summary: You don't need to own this film
Review: This is an unpleasant little film, with enough quirky elements to make it interesting enough to watch once (i.e., rent it), but you certainly don't need to own it. The fight sequences are bloody, but uninspired otherwise. Meatloaf is pretty interesting as the bodybuilder who has grown "[breasts]" as a result of testicular cancer. The ultimate semi-surprise ending is sort of interesting, but can't make it up to you for sitting through an otherwise over-long and dreary film. The "romantic" interaction between Pitt and the female lead is simply vile. Bottom line. Don't buy it.

Summary: Absolutely awesome
Review: Leave it to the "family groups" in this country, who can't take responsibility for raising their own kids, to file so many loud and thoughtless objections against this incredible movie. "Fight Club" is one of the most original and ingeniously written, directed, and acted films that has come along in a very, very long time, and its ultimate message about society is far more intelligent and responsible than the critics and censors even tried to give it credit for, but would have if they'd just *paid attention to it*! The initial story of Jack and Tyler is utterly hilarious in its shocking tastelessness; we laugh at its plot twists in the same sense that we laugh at the inspired rudeness of "South Park." The violence is not so frequent OR graphic as I'd been led to believe, because David Fincher's incredible directing makes the violent moments both very funny at times, and at others, more disturbing than a lot of blood and guts ever could. You will find yourself, by turns, both amused and horrified at the ideas and images presented in this provocative film, and you WILL remain constantly engaged. The "surprise ending" definitely warrants at LEAST a second viewing, but I don't feel that it holds the whole story together as sensibly as it should... though it does do a pretty understandable and consistent job around 95% of the time. It's hard to fully describe and analyze "Fight Club" without writing a veritable 10-page paper, but all I can say to the easily offended is, just grow up and enter this movie with an open mind... you'll be surprised at how interesting and responsible it ultimately is. The world should be glad for a director like Fincher, who can handle material like this both intelligently and fearlessly. The performances of Norton, Pitt, and Carter are absolutely first-rate, and their dialogue is utterly brilliant. There is nothing to complain about over this movie; instead, there should be celebration of its originality, reverence for the talent that created it, and respect for the dangerous ideas that it isn't afraid to confront. Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that "Fight Club" is one of those very few films that you simply must see, even if only to see what all the fuss is about!

Summary: An objective review
Review: When it comes to films, I am pretty open minded. But having had to sit through a disturbing two hours of this film, I have to say that it is terrible. It started ok, as the one redeeming feature (Norton's acting)was pulling it thorugh. However with the introduction of the ever wooden Pitt (why won't directors sacrifice popularity for talent?)it took a decidided down turn. The writer of this anti-consumerism tosh is obviously so pleased with himself, so smug, that he has tried to produce something which he expects us all to stand back and say "wow". Quite frankly by the end I was bored, extremely dissapointed and felt cheated of my £2.

Summary: You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
Review: When I originally saw this movie in the theatre I have to say that I literally had to recover from it before leaving. I had only gone to see it because my friend had to review it and I was half dreading it because it looked like another violent plotless movie. I don't think I could have been more far from the truth. Yes, it is violent, but life is violent, and the violence has a purpose in Fight Club. It was not simply the plot and the societal issues the movie portrayed that kept my interest but the little details that added so much to the movie as a whole-the flashes of people and places that add to the sense of the surreal life the insomniac main character is living. What I have found is that most people either absolutely love or absolutely hate Fight Club. There is no in between. For me this is one of the few recent movies that wasn't either pointless and boring or mere entertainment without a plot

Summary: Gritty Film Excellence
Review: The real first rule of Fight Club needs to be, "Don't talk about the details of the movie 'Fight Club'". Anyone who's seen it knows what I'm talking about on this one. This aside, it needs to be said that Fight Club is absolutly unlike anything most people are prepared to see, and this is why it is so excellent. The DVD of this movie is a real work of art and is really packed with things to explore. Making it a 2-disc set maked it nice for anyone who just wants to see the movie and no nonsence. In the end, the real power of Fight Club lies in it's use of a simple, steady, almost droning pacing that takes the viewer on an amazing journey into the darker parts of the human mind. Once there, it's very hard to look away. Enjoy!

Summary: why is soap so important?
Review: when I got home after fight club, I couldn't sleep, so I got up again and went to a bar to have a beer and then it hit me: I had just seen the most history-advanced movie since clockwork orange. I had just seen the truth about life in our society and its absurd rules, I had seen soap as the hammer of the gods. Go see it and learn about yourself and your miserable little lives
