Summary: You'll Either Love It Or Hate It
Review: They say a great movie is one that makes you think. While on the outside, Fight Club looks like a shallow, nonstop violence flick. Yes, there is an extraordinary amount of violence, but after you watch it you'll want to watch it again to fully take in the storyline. In my opinion, Fight Club is a worthy way to spend 2 hours.

Summary: I am Jack's Great DVD and Jack's Stunning Movie
Review: If you like great packaged DVDs, then this is right up your alley. It's got some interesting audio commentaries (at least two of them are with director David Fincher), a boatload of publicity (including some fake PSA's with Ed Norton and Brad Pitt), and great behind-the-scenes segments, wrapped up in a package that stands out from its competitors. Aside from that, the movie is a rather stunning trip that obviously isn't meant for everyone. The performances are great, from Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden (a sick philosopher-nihilist who turns into a vicious carbon copy of himself),Ed Norton's troubled Narrator (who has to deal with life while dealing with Tyler), Helena Bonham Carter's twisted Marla, to Meat Loaf's tragic Bob. This movie was unsettling, both visually and verbally. Is it a great movie that'll be remembered in 20 years? I'm not sure, but hopefully if it is, it'll be as a cautionary tale, not as a "cheerfully fascist big-star movie".

Summary: Hey! I'm only 14 and I love the movie!
Review: uh...how do I start, everybody has a GREAT review for the movie. well, I'm a "14" year-old "GIRL", but I still think this movie is EXCELLENT! Yeah, yeah, yeah, the violence, the bloody fights, the swearings, the sex scenes (and sounds), but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie as long as u know what's right and what's wrong for u. The whole story is just very interesting and exciting. and Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham-Carter are just AMAZING! I'm totally in love with the movie. oh yeah! it's also VERY funny, and I mean VERY funny... ^-^ it's just a movie I can see over and over and over again and show it to all my friends, (and even my parent)...

Summary: Powerful, disturbing, very funny
Review: Fight Club is absolutely not a movie for everybody. If you're easily offended or can't read between the lines - this movie is not for you. Fight Club is really a simple, albeit captivating, story of one man's journey to find himself. In the process, he has to fight a lot of demons - internally and externally. Next to the Matirix, this DVD is one of the best available. With tons of extras it is a must buy for anybody who liked the movie.

Summary: Less there than meets the eye
Review: Fight Club is such a literate, well-acted, visually impressive movie that you could easily miss the fact that it doesn't have a singe interesting thought in its head. It's central thesis is that men are being emasculated by our consumer culture, losing touch with their nature -- which manifests itself here and in Chuck Palahniuk's book through the desire to beat other men senseless just for the heck of it.You wouldn't think this idea was big enough to support a 20-page short story (it isn't) and so it's not surprising that the film seems heavily padded with scenes that do nothing to develop character or move the plot forward, but give Brad Pitt and Ed Norton plenty of opportunity to flex their pecs. Still, Norton's as good as ever -- he can take mediocre material and make it seem special -- and Pitt is at his near-best, as he was in David Fincher's Seven. Watch for Meat Loaf, by the way, in a surprising role. The movie is visually stylish, and the fight scenes pack a punch, but ultimately the whole thing is emptier than Fincher's previous work: Seven and the underrated Alien3.

Summary: One of a kind.
Review: Fight Club is a movie I didn't expect to be totally awesome, but I was wrong, again. The film shows true potential and is one of a kind. The acting is awesome, the direction is marvellous, the screenplay is ingenius and the editing is pefection. This film is a big hit with the critics and one of the few films that deserves all the praise it gets. Edward Norton deserves praise for his role as a young man who is continously attending 'groups' at different countries. When he meets a soap maker on his plane called Tyler Durdon (the marvellous Brad Pitt) they start up a fight club, which is successful, but turns dangerous and dirty. Fight Club is so awesome and so breathtaking that it is now ranking at #20 in my top films. See it!

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: When pure cinematic bliss like Fight Club is deprived of even a NOMINATION for best picture, It makes me ill. I very rarely care what others think of movies in contrast to my opinions, but this movie really deserves the highest commendations by the public, not complaints about violence. Never have I seen such masterfull satire on the modern consumer, intertwined with subplots and twists that both amaze and boggle the mind at the same time. I try to respect other people's opinions of movies, but there really is no good reason to hate this film. All you need is a stomach for mild violence (If you disagree about this film's violence being mild, check out Saving Private Ryan's opening sequence) and a sense of humor. You will love this movie. Period.

Summary: Could this be dangerous?
Review: I had heard a lot of Hype about this movie from my 17 year old brother, so I watched along when he and his friends rented it to watch it for the 8th time. I watched in horror as they laughed their heads off and marvelled at the "cool" parts, which happened to be the parts that contained the most disturbing advances in the plot. This movie has such an odd message. It seemed to promote anarchy, trancendentalism, going against mainstream, but one only has to look at where that kind of living got the characters to in the end. You can't live like that. It doesn't work! Everything ends up blowing up. I can't figure out if the message of the movie was to live life to the fullest and get disconnected from boring society (as many reviewers here said), or if it was a warning against it. It didn't make much sense to me. The amazing twist at the end didn't make a whole lot of sense either. It didn't really work. It was too over the top, and it didn't seem necesary to the movie. So the question is, what kind of mesage was recieved by the audience? Were we supposed to agree with Tyler Derdon's philosophy, as it semed in the beginning? Or should we have recognized from the beginning that it would lead to desperate consequences? I fear that the cult following of this movie could become much like the cult in the movie. I witnessed something very close to that with a pretty good cross-section of today's teenagers (my brother's friends). I fear what will come out of this movie. Beware

Summary: Must Get DVD
Review: What can I say, its the best DVD thats ever been released. The movie is great, but if that isn't enough you get a whole disc of extras. You can watch the movie while the actors and director comment,which is cool. You see how effects were done,deleted scenes, TV ads for it, interviews, theres just so much stuff it would take days to see it all. If you own a DVD player: buy it.
