Summary: Unbelievable, will catapult out of your mundane life...
Review: This is one of the best films I've seen in the last 15 years... The surreal 'superficial violence' addiction that seems to capture the characters of the movie is simple and yet still shockingly powerful. These people need to actually be 'beaten' out of their semi-conscious state into an amazingly visceral and electrical feeling of living. Don't make the mistake of thinking the director thinks this is the course of action for everyone, no, just the walking dead driving along in their little metal coffins (ripped off from Point Break [no, not a movie to guide your life by].) A MUST SEE movie. Just remember, the movie is not about fighting, it is about awakening and living your life in the here and now instead of the 'someday.'

Summary: A Unique and Brilliant narrative
Review: The best reason I can think of to see this movie is just the fact that you've never seen anything else like it. Considering most of what today's Hollywood puts out, that should be enough. More to the point, "Fight Club" is simply brilliant. Brilliant that is, for the right audience. It's not for the faint of heart, it's not for anyone wanting mindless action, irrelevant banter, it's not for someone who wants a simple story told in episodic fashion. And yes, it's probably not for the squeamish, either. It's not supposed to be. It's a complex narrative focusing on the life of a nameless narrator (Edward Norton) as he copes with his own feelings of emptiness, drudging through day to day life without direction or satisfaction, filling holes in himself with meaningless material wealth. The Fight Club, which he co-founds with Tyler (Brad Pitt) serves as a place where he and other "lost souls" find some spark to life, something beyond the prestige of owning all the designer furniture from IKEA. At the Fight Club, everyone is equal, anyone can dominate. As Norton says in voiceover during one of the meetings, "this kid, Ricky, a supply clerk, couldn't remember whether you ordered pens with blue ink or black ink...but Ricky was a God for ten minutes last week when he trounced an actuary twice his size." Many critics of the movie, I think, are missing the point. They see it as some kind of white male anger movie that condones going out to beat the hell out of someone to feel alive. That's not the point. If you come away from this film thinking that, you need to watch it again. I think overall this film is about the feeling that there must be more to life than this...something everyone feels at one time or another. The film moves so fast, you need to see it twice to take it all in. It bursts out of the gate at the beginning and takes the attitude that if you can't keep up, too bad. For two and half hours, the tempo doesn't slow down much. But this isn't because of scene after scene of action...the story itself just moves that fast. If you haven't seen this movie, put aside all the sniping and SEE IT. Excellent acting, superb dialogue, incredible direction (David Fincher is one of the up and coming BEST in the business), and, finally, it's FUNNY. That seems to be overlooked a lot but this movie could been seen as a very dark comedy (in fact, Fincher himself regards it as that.) It may not be for everyone, but if you want a good, unique, intelligent and bumpy ride, give it a look.

Summary: Best movie of the year
Review: Fight Club is by far the best movie of the year. It is shot beautifuly and it has two of the best actors working today in it. True the fighting was a little nasty at times but it went so well with the film no one should object to it. Everyone should see this movie.

Summary: There's more here than you think
Review: I realize that this issue has been discussed to death already but it's important to understand something. Civilization is not a natural state for humans. There are those in society who have adapted to appreciate the new environment and deal with it. There are far more of us who walk around day-to-day feeling something missing, feeling like it just isn't right. Fight Club is about that feeling. It's not necessary for everyone to like this movie. I know many people who don't, and while I feel they miss the point, it's a perfectly reasonable response. The movie is violent--it uses the strongest poetic imagery because it is covering an important topic. This movie strikes a cord for some people, not in a bloodthirsy way, but as a sort of utopian snapshot. For someone trying to decide to see this movie, if you think I'm crazy and that there's nothing 'wrong'. That you don't feel like the whole system is out of place--avoid the movie. It's not for you. It's for those of us who felt Predator was more than another Arnold film. It's for those of us who watched Instinct and enjoyed the first part of the movie, but not the second. Oh and it's not fascist...the neo-nazi overtones are coincidental to the arrangement of the plot.

Summary: Ignore all negative reviews of this film
Review: Every negative review I have seen of this film I have to ask myself what movie these people were watching. Most critics seem to be completely numb to such things as subtlety, metaphor, sub-text, and content. this film had all of these in spades! I thnk that a lot of people simply did not get the meaning of this film. It goes far deeper than the "fight-the-power" plot line that one reviewer on Amazon describes. This film is worth a second, third, fourth, etc... ad infinitum viewing. Even paying close attention (I had some idea what to expect) I probably missed stuff that will amaze me when I buy the video (which I will do the day this thing comes out! ). Ignore what the bad reviews say because those people couldn't see past a couple fist-fights to see the brutal beauty of what this film is. This film (as well as the novel it is based on) are like Hemingway on steroids, but with more intelligence.

Summary: Very Underrated movie. Not for everyone.
Review: This movie was at times hard to sit through. But not in the same sense like Waterboy but because it was supposed to be uneasy. You know that feeling you get when you see two guys fighting, like your stomach is gonna drop out. Fighting is not a good thing and this film truly does not glorify it. Give it a chance.

Summary: Best movie of all time
Review: I was on a streak of bad movies before I saw this masterpiece, and it provoked me to see it 3 more times. It combines a unique blend of comedy, action, drama, and even a great mid-movie plot twist to form, in my opinion, the greatest movie of all time! Norton's character is especially cool - you can relate to him in a lot of things, whereas Pitt's character proves to be the exact opposite - a man who has the ability to let "that which does not matter...truly slide." I now have the movie poster adorning my door. GO SEE THIS MOVIE, and take your friends and family with you!

Summary: Very Entertaining, Quick-Paced, With Well-Made Attacks
Review: I felt good seeing Fight Club. I was among friends, and as a group we adored it. It's messages, though devoid of all subtlety, have never been delivered in such a fashion. Instead of a bunch of folks talking about the problems with American society, the film shows a bunch of folks actually doing something about it. The violence I didn't mind for some reason, either because it isn't as bad as everyone says it is, or I have been hardened by more gory displays. I heard someone criticize it as being a testosterone movie that tried to be smart. There is at least one major contradiction to this statement. It is only a testosterone movie in a twisted sense. It is not like Blade or The Matrix, with involving fight scenes complemented by techno music. It is About testosterone and its power over people to the point where they are made subservient to it (done through its personification, as the character Tyler Durden). Another often-heard complaint is that of the plot twist. Is it an excellent twist? Not necessarily, but it is appropriate. What some people do not realize is that this is a Comedy, and the twist is A Joke. There are subtexts to it that I will not care to get into, in respect of those that have yet to see it. In other films, a twist can understandably be annoying to some people. Here, it is purely enjoyable mind games. The film is very entertaining, very funny, and very innovative. David Fincher has yet to disappoint. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to turn off for a while and let a movie take them for a very satisfying ride.
