Summary: NOT THAT VIOLENT, REALLY!
Review: This film may be many things...But it certainly isn't as violent as people like to make out, however it's a film that you're not likely to forget in hurry either.For anyone who appriecates the style of an independent movie with a mainstream budget and cast, then this is right up your street. One of the most entertaining things about Fight Club is the intelligent well thought-out plot schematic although the basic story is fairly simple to follow there are many questions that the plot opposes to the audience and choices you have to decide between. Such as Black Comedy or Anarcistic Art?, Dangerous or Enteraining? For me, Fight Club is not a truly dangerous film, it doesen't seem to set any kind of harmful influencial tone (whereas Natural Born Killers does and has done), this movie is something very original and very refreshing. With unforgetable charaters (Helena Bonham Carter gives a spectacular performance, that's slightly out of her routine acting kitch), cruel but very funny situtions and grim set pieces. Not to metion the wonderful camera rigs and innovative direction from underated four-film wonder David Fincher. I strongly recommend that you buy this without hesitation, it's a throughly new take on 'Independent movie making from Hollywood'. Congratulations Mr Fincher (You've done it again)

Summary: Ahead of the Times
Review: For all of those (viewers and critics alike) who gave this future classic poor reviews because they couldn't see past the violent, and at times graphic content, be prepared to eat you words. This movie may seem like your typical "guy" flick, but within this well written and well acted film lies societal comments and stinging humour that invoke thinking and discussion long after the film has ended. This movie is ahead of its time and will be appreciated in the future, as do all great things.

Summary: Another Fincher Masterpiece
Review: David Fincher (in my personal opinion) is the personification of what is truly great about film making today. When it seems every film released in the last decade has been either some rehashed, recycled version of a previous classic, or a sequel to an already rediculous story told two years before it (i.e. "Austin Powers") Fincher's ideas, style, etc, protray his individuality and orginality as a director who pulls no punches and appeals to the audience on a level that's always higher than the "lowest common denominator" unlike so many films do these days (i.e. "The Blair Witch Project"). "Fight Club" is a perfect example of how intelligent, beautifully shot films can make it in mainstream Hollywood. Too bad most of the other ones have to be independent or foreign films.

Summary: Very underrated film and misunderstood at that.
Review: This film is about violence but moreso about aggression, the real culprit. The film has a lot to say (maybe too much for a film) but it is just as important as anything else going on in this country. In fact, it may be our biggest problem and one that is rarely addressed. Buy this film and learn and be entertained.

Summary: Modern Day Wake Up
Review: Fincher again proves he is, by far, one of the great new visionaries of film. This movie works in too many ways not to like it. It's an action movie, a love story, a comedy, and a social commentary all at the same time. Nay sayers be damned, this is a superb film.

Summary: ABSOLUTELY GREAT ! ACTION, IDEAS, GOOD ACTING !
Review: This movie is perfect. The director of "SEVEN" and "The GAME" obviously knows how to make good movies. THis movie is gripping, emotional, it is an attack to capitalism, I don't even know how Hollywwod let it be produced (of course, to make money for them...)Norton assured that he is one of the five best-actors nowadays and even Pitt is convincing. Uau!. What a movie! (only the ending is a litle abrupt, in my opinion..)

Summary: One of the Best over-looked films of 1999
Review: I walked into the theater expecting to hate this movie...but walked out thoroughly amazed. This is one of the most under-rated brilliant films I've seen in a long time. The directing and editing style is top notch that keeps pace with the interesting characters and ever-developing plotline. -- People hated this movie, yet LOVED the "Sixth Sense." I don't get it. -- "Fight Club" is a wonderful satire in the age of "Men are from Mars." Over-the-top violence seems to be consistantly misunderstood (see: "Natural Born Killers" as an example) and it appears to have happened again here. A great story, snappy dialogue...plus, Edward Norton continues to demonstrate himself to be one of the greatest actors of his generation...This movie is a must-see for anyone who loves movies. I can't wait to get the DVD so my friends and I can end the raging debate about all the flash frames in the beginning 20 minutes of the film.

Summary: Not horrible if you understand....
Review: First of all, let me respond to the reveiwer below- if you like this movie- you are not a bad person whose judgement should be questioned. If you liked this movie you are an intelligent person who understood the message it presents. Fight Club is not about violence and those who like the film do not necessarily like the violence. This violent content is however necessary to deliver the point of the movie. Fight Club is not advocating anarchy and does not want you and your drinking buddies to go out to the nearest bar and start pummeling each other. The movie in fact wants just the opposite. Now, some people may not be able to get past the violence but if you can- you are in store for quite a ride. Good acting, score, and quite funny jokes for those who think enough to get them are all great aspects of this film.

Summary: Misunderstood classic
Review: One of the things that bothers me the most is when people review things that they do not fully grasp themselves. People say Fight Club lacks any true meaning and that it's just violence. Pick up the book, and you'll find out yourself. Watch the movie...it's right there in big bold letters. Fight Club is another Fincher classic. Beautifully shot, the camera work is something to marvel over. Fincher takes you from point A, to point B, then back to point A again at a breakneck speed which will leave you wondering what will happen next. As for the violence. The violence, the "fight club" is in no more than twenty minutes of the movie. Even when it is in the movie, it serves it's own point and purpose. And no...that point and purpose is not violence. The main focus of this movie that all the critics choose to blindly ignore is the inner struggle within a man [Norton] to find a purpose in life and to find himself. He's a man stuck in normality. Stuck in a world where we're all just consumers and he's sick of it. When he meets Tyler Durden [Pitt] he finally is able to come to a self realization and that realization is that we're not our jobs, we're not our clothes, and we're not our cars et. al. If it takes a smack in the face to see this...then so be it. As for the movie not having any qualities that will urge you to see it again...ha! I saw this movie in the theaters opening night and went on to see it two more times. Am I a violent man? Nope, never even been in a fight. Does this movie make me want to get in a fight? Definately, not. If anything this movie shows the consequences in fighting. From Norton losing a tooth to Angel Face getting his face beat in and losing all his beauty. If anything the message of the movie is that you have every right to fight....fight anything or anybody you want. Just be willing to except the consequences, like everybody in the movie had to.

Summary: underrated and brilliant!
Review: Fight Club takes you through a surprising world where nothing, not even fight clubs, are what they seem. One of the top ten films of the year, this movie is misunderstood by many who deplore its violence, yet fail to realize that it isn't central to the movie's point.
