Summary: Remember the first two rules kids....
Review: DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB, and DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUBBut I'm gonna break the rules, this movie is wonderful, engaging and a hell of a ride from high paced start to psychotic ending. I think the visuals in this movie are currently unparalelled and the acting by Pitt and Norton unbelievable. This defenitely my favorite Pitt movie since 12 Monkeys and I think he still does a wonderful job at being psycho. Norton played one wonderful part in this movie that caters to any man who's ever gotten to the point in his life where you're a little too secure but still feeling incomplete. Thus his (our?) turning to materialism to fill that gap. I think most anyone that has been consumed by his well paying job can relate with the "No matter what happens, I've got that sofa problem covered." At least I can. Also the Dust Brothers help make this movie. I cannot remember when I've enjoyed a soundtrack to a movie so much. The whole "Hi, let's get 13 popular songs for our new MTV High School sci-fi horror flick" mentality is so very tired. This, actually having an artist write a score for the movie, on the other hand was fresh, suiting, and oh so beatiful at times... I guess my only complaint about this movie is the fact that it can confuse with some of it's disjointed lines. Now I don't mean the plot, the dialog or anything like that. I mean such parts as in the begining, out of nowhere he just states something about space exploration and the corporations naming everything("Planet Starbucks"). While I liked the observation, it had nothing to do (that I could tell) with what he was talking about at that very moment. And it seems after this statement he just goes on with his story. It's a minor complaint, but this may annoy some more than others. I personally didn't care, it's still my favorite movie of the decade(saw it like 3 times in one week). So I guess all I'm saying is, see it. It's not bloodsport, which is what I was expecting in the begining, but rather it's a wonderful, dark, funny, interesting and entertaining work of cinematic art.

Summary: This movie...
Review: ... Has given me more to think about than any other movie. I'm quite serious when I say that this is the best movie of all time. NOTHING is more visually striking, involving and fast-paced. It may be 139 minutes, but it has so much to say, that it goes by quickly. It has ideas and talks about them. And then it goes and adds a psychological twist, that I think, does not negate the picture but adds one more layer. I can't begin to express my admiration for this film, so I'll say this(again): Nothing is as wonderful as this and I highly doubt that anything ever will be.

Summary: dirt and blood
Review: Do you remember what it was like long ago in the schoolyard when the writhing mob circled round you and the other kid...the fever that gripped you so strongly you wanted to roar and throw up all at once? Some of us flew into it and found a liberating maddening purity for brief moments. Others cowered with lingering doubt and frustration haunting us afterward. This movie takes me right back there on the schoolyard dirt...but there is no other kid; there's just this idea coming at me with its fists raised and there's nothing to do but face it or cower and resent. This isn't about people fighting each other; Its about people fighting themselves, which is beautifully portrayed by the schism of the narrator's personality. Norton's nameless narrator only becomes real at the end of the film after fighting all the things that aren't real in his life, including, ultimately, his own raging nihilism. Seeing this film is like getting in a fight. The film challenges your mind to stand up and throw down with some very disturbing ideas. Take a moment to remember that bloody, sweaty, dirt-yard of youth and the person that was born of it. Now...go, experience this film and get ready to fight.

Summary: Fight Club rocks!
Review: Fight Club was one of those movies that you either liked or you hated. There is no in between. It is either too much or just enough. If you like excessive violence, twisted story lines, and demented characters then Fight Club is for you. And just when you think that the move is great... it kicks into over drive and blows you away! One would want to say more, but there's too much to give away in an in-depth review. Fight Club will beat you down and make you scream for more.

Summary: amazing similarities
Review: Has anyone noticed the amazing similarities between fight club and American Beauty? Both movies are revolved around guys who are fed up with modern day society and its flaws. Edward Norton can't take the routine of life anymore, so he starts a fight club to deal with the stress. Not unlike Kevin Spacey who can't take life anymore and starts smoking pot, blackmailing his boss, standing up to his family, and working out. Both movies are very alike, yet one of them was nominating for best picture. Fight club is one of those movies that comes along and blows you away. I agree that american beauty was a great movie but was undeserving of all those awards, ESPECIALLY the cinematography award which should have gone to sleepy hollow or FIGHT CLUB. I only saw the movie once but i look forward to renting it soon and buying the dvd. The movie has a message, which is hard to find these days on the big screen. The movie was also beautifully shot. I commend Fincher for his vision and realize that the man who was onced almost called upon to direct Return of the Jedi is a genious. All of his movies including Aliens 3 have a vision all on there own. Few directors can incorporate a different style for all there movies, Fincher always manages to display uniqueness even within himself. I highly recommend this movie for love of film and for the love of a great movie, thank you david fincher.

Summary: AMAZING MOVIE!
Review: Ugh! Whats not to like about this movie! The directing is top notch, Brad Pitt gives one of his finest performances, Edward Norton rocks. The writing is superb, along with a great score. Plus this movie just gives you such an adrenaline rush just from watching it. Me and my friends actually started our own fight club after watching this movie(a few times). At critical points, it grabs you by the shoulders and just shakes up everything you thought you knew, and once you think you figure it out again, there it goes and shakes some more. Its totaly twisted and rocks. I can't say enough good things about this movie. It's no Psycho, North by Northwest, or Clockwork Orange, but it is one movie you won't regret owning. SO BUY IT ALREADY!

Summary: The most meaningful movie i have ever seen
Review: maybe it was because i identified with the narrator SO muchthat Fight Club actually changed how i look at life. It isincredible. The underlying meanings and criticisms of society are their, but the entertainment value is matched by non other. I believe the ending was a piece of pure genious.

Summary: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Review: My friends and i have dubbed this movie "addreneline on a reel." It's like a kick in the pants. You come out with your testosterone raging, and you want to do all the crazy things that you always imagined but never actually did (like find out how fast your car really goes). Not to say this is a movie only for guys. Everyone i took to see this movie, females included, wanted to see it again, at least once. I saw it three times in regualar theatres and at least six more times at the dollar; i lost track. The dialoge is brilliant, the cenematogrophy is better, the casting is perfect, the soundtrack is pumping and, i don't care what anyone else says, the ending is JUST COOL. If you ever wondered what its like to be a skizoid insnomiac sociopath with violent tendencies, see this movie.

Summary: very good
Review: I really thought that the first 2 hours of this film were terrific, I loved the humor, acting{Brad Pitt and Ed Norton amaze me}, cinematography, dialogue, and social commentary aspect that it really posseses. However, the twist ending nearly ruined what could have been a very powerful, meaningful, commentary that would have gone down as the defining film for the late 90's..However, I still love it very much..I think the ending just kills a lot of the power and meaning
