Summary: This is a new high in American Cinema
Review: This movie is one of the best movies to come out in 1999, along with Dogma. This movie is really thought provoking and makes you wonder if the writer of the original novel lived through something like this because this seems so lifelike. It's very farfetched, but for some reason it's still very believable. The DVD is full of great extras and worth the extra cash. Buy the DVD and you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: This is Ed Norton's movie!
Review: Hands down Ed Norton is one of the most talented actors working today. He brings a film to a new level with his superb acting, even if the film itself may be lacking (i.e. Primal Fear, Rounders, and American History X). In terms of supplements this DVD is the best on the market. For a 2-disc set the bar is set extremely high. Fans of Fight Club and Supplement freaks will love this DVD!

Summary: A very misunderstood movie!
Review: I, like many others, skipped this movie in the theaters. Once the DVD came out I figured I'd check it out. WHOA! During the movie I found myself slamming beers and shots of whiskey! It reminded me of the intense male comraderie I felt during my time in the Marines! The movie was akin to a flashback of taking shots in the gut from guys I barely knew who were trying to toughen me up for combat. A lot of people seem torn on the ending whereas it made perfect sense to me. It was incredibly shocking and in my opinion very original and gratifying. A lot of people will dismiss this movie especially due to the poor marketing. It's unfortunate because it really is an intelligent male-oriented fantasy. Highly recommended to those with brains and a love of fiction.

Summary: the sharpest and most invigorating film i have ever seen
Review: i love this movie. i mean it, I LOVE this movie. i first saw it last december and now own it on video. it also occupies my mind frequently, because there is such a strong message in that film, with so many intelligent and accurate things to say that it has kept my mind working for months. i was completely shocked that this film received no kind of critical award at all - not for the outstanding and innovative direction, the perfect performances or the witty and clever screenplay. this film is darkly funny, with wonderful characters, and i have never watched a filmn which made me feel so pumped up wih adrenaline. i also think that this is one of the most important movies to have been made for a long time. its over-riding message - that the constant emphasis on appearances, consumerism, and our celebrity, spectator culture has made us all forget how it actually FEELS to be alive, to experience soimething real and be a part of something, ourselves. the fighting isn't about violence, it is about feeling something primal. something we have lost and need. this is something i think about all the time and i want everybody to see this film so that it at least gives them food for thought. this is the most amazing film i have ever seen. see it. please.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic
Review: This is one of the most underrated movies of all time (and I thought "Seven" was one of the most overrated movies of all time, so I was completely unprepared for how great this is). Bravo David Fincher and everyone involved. Funny, intelligent, thought-provoking, incredibly original and just plain beautifully made. See this movie.

Summary: Overrated and overhyped
Review: I'll admit that after watching 'Fight Club' I felt disturbed. Deeply disturbed in fact. I felt like my brain had just engaged in its own personal fight club and had emerged in a battered state. Does this mean that 'Fight Club' is a good movie? Not necessarily, although it does feature some fine acting and a great soundtrack. Taking a very obvious cue from A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club aims to reshape our conventional views on modern day, capitalist society. While it is successful in showing how dull and lifeless society has become, the end results are mostly of a superficial nature. Seeing two men pummel each other relentlessly is indeed disturbing, as is the movie's cinematography, which includes many stop action sequences and extreme close-ups of faces beaten beyond recognition. However, like a bad acid trip, the questions spawned here are mostly shallow and repetitive, questions such as 'Why do we live in such a consumer-based society that cares only for appearances and glosses over our basic animalistic nature?' However, thought-provoking this might be, it's been asked before and more effectively as well. A Clockwork Orange was more selective and discreet in trying to shock the viewer and in fact, most of the violence and depravity was left to the viewer's imagination. Fight Club, on the other hand, follows the distinctly American trend of leaving nothing to the imagination, lest the audience miss the point director David Fincher is trying to make. Pandering to the lowest common denominator is a far too common occurrence in today's Hollywood, whether it's manipulative melodrama such as Magnolia or the not-so-subtle religious commentary of Dogma. Kubrick's masterpiece and more contemporary pieces such as Mike Leigh's Naked offer far more thought-provoking commentaries on the human condition, with the viewer holding as much responsibility as the director for figuring out what the problem is and how to solve it. What does separate Fight Club from the rest of the Hollywood scrap heap is an opening 30 minute sequence involving different therapy groups (hilarious and moving at the same time) and some exemplary acting. Edward Norton plays the part of the business drone at the perfect pitch and pace, allowing his hidden mean streak to slowly but surely emerge to the surface. As for Brad Pitt, well he manages the near-impossible task of making us forget about his Joe Black alter-ego. Hopefully, there will be no more Legends of the Fall or Seven Years in Tibet for us to suffer through. However, both the riveting opening act and the strength of the acting are soon lost in an orgy of violence that quickly distills any point that Fincher is trying to make. Also, it has become a bit passe to see movies where the inevitable 'twist' at the end calls into question our assumptions about what has transpired and how reliable the narrator may or may not be. Ever since Kaiser Soze came out of the closet, scores of films have been scrambling to repeat the formula with increasingly diminishing returns. In this day of absurdly high movie ticket prices, Fight Club certainly has enough 'bang for the buck' to satisfy most viewers. Yet few people will leave this movie feeling any more enlightened than they did prior to watching it. Most will return to their 9-to-5s and leave the fighting for the weekend.

Summary: What a trip! But certainly not for everyone.
Review: I dont think there is enough space to explain what this movie is about so I wont go into detail. However, the central plot is about a disgruntled yuppie who is in search of something more, a higher meaning to life, of trying to break out of the zombie mentality that he sees all around in society. The movie was beautifully filmed, many scenes have a 'trippy' feel to them and I think you only really start to appreciate that the second time you watch the film. The lead actors are incredible. I am no fan of Brad Pitt, but he did a tremendous job. Norton, as always, gives a killer performance (its only a matter of time until this buy has a shelf full of Oscars). In terms of a DVD package, this rocks. Two discs worth of insane Fight Club goodness including 4...yes I did say 4 commentary tracks. This movie is likely to leave you disturbed (much the same as say a movie like A Clockwork Orange)and it is supposed to, giving you something to think about long after you've turned off the tv.
