Summary: Unsurpassed Social Commentary
Review: Fight Club speaks most specifically to young males of the X generation. Centering on the loss of male power in American society due to the women's movement, an increasing emphasis on oversensitivity, and a trend toward political correctness, young males are facing a "crisis" in which they cannot act out boldly and agressively, and therefore find other means by which to do so. The only way the main character in Fight Club can "live" is fighting -- an interesting viewpoint on the state of the new politically correct American culture.

Summary: Ready to think?
Review: Every once in a while, a movie comes along that smacks you right in the face - a film that shakes to the cores some of the basic assumptions by which we lead our lives. Fight Club is one such movie. David Fincher's brilliant adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel packs more philosophical punch than practically any big-budget Hollywood film around, and yet still manages to entertain on a superficial level thanks to brilliant performances by Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham-Carter. Without going into any details about the movie and its message, I can say with certainty that Fight Club will strike a chord with many people (admittedly most of them male). Further, this movie is replete with memorable quotations, and would be worth purchasing for that reason alone. I remain awed by the sheer number of 21st century aphorisms contained in this movie's dialogue. Be forewarned, however, that not everyone will enjoy this movie. Some viewers will feel repulsed by the action, and some will either dislike the film's message or miss it entirely. However, if you want your movies to challenge you, then you mustn't miss Fight Club.

Summary: Unique, Stunning Piece of Art.
Review: Fight Club follows the story of our nameless narrator, played by Edward Norton, and all the crazy things that happen when he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and they start a club. A fight club. I was told Fight Club was a very good film, but I had been told lots of films were very good. This film was very good and then some. Actually, it was excellent. The adapted screenplay was perfect, the direction was stunning and the acting was brilliant, unfortunately it was rudely underrated....

Summary: A Classic of Modern Social Commentary
Review: First off, I'd like to acknowledge that prior to seeing this movie, I'd never call anything having to do with Brad Pitt a "classic" or "commentary" of any sort. After seeing Fight Club, however, I've changed my opinion about him. He and Edward Norton performed beautifully in this film, gradually and insidiously changing and shifting depending on the scene. Visually enjoyable to watch, beautifully shot with wonderful lighting and cinematography, this film transcends the celluloid it's on. At once an insightful and merciless commentary on human psychology, male identity, and anarcho-socialism, this is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent and undeniably true films ever to grace the screen. Stanley Kubrick would be proud. Many people I know decided not to see this movie because they assumed it was an action movie, a stock Hollywood crap-film about guys beating each other up for no particular reason. No wonder; the trailers for this film were awful. If you're reading this review, deciding whether or not to see this movie, I'll just say that this movie is probably the best movie of the past few years, and arguably one of the best ever. On so many levels, Fight Club is a brilliant film which will challenge and torture your mind for days after you see it. See it.

Summary: Tyler Teaches Us Well
Review: Paging Susan Faludi! Director Fincher (Seven) has a knack for visual flair, but in this twisted tale of disgruntled malehood, he takes his work to a new and utterly hyperkinetic level. Norton plays a yuppie malcontent with a bad case of insomnia. He drifts through support groups until befriending a mercurial soap salesman (Pitt) on a plane ride. Pitt also moonlights as a projectionist and waiter, but that's more to pull pranks than out of economic necessity. The two start an underground, bare-knuckles fight club; cohabit a rundown Victorian house in a toxic waste zone; and form a covert army to bring down corporate America. Sound hyperbolic? It is, but that's part of the film's beauty. The drama is never dull, the acting is on the mark--especially Bonham Carter and Meat Loaf in juicy supporting roles--but what puts the fight in this film is Fincher's visual wizardry. This is not just a fight flick as some believe. This is an important view of the decay of society with morality clashes-- worth viewing, understanding, and owning.

Summary: Excellent but...
Review: Overall I loved this movie. It emphasizes what is wrong with todays society in a candid and blunt way. Norton and Pitt interact superbly. The ending was a little shaky, but if you are a psychotic then your world is probably going to be a little screwed anyway.

Summary: More than you think
Review: Going into this movie, I thought it would be a shallow story, depending on the two main actors (Brad Pitt and Edward Norton) to deliver box office numbers, and little else. I was shocked by what I saw during the first viewing, and it only gets better each successive time. Fight Club is about a man (Edward Norton) who becomes unsatisfied with his normal life. He hates his job, has serious insomnia, and only finds relief when surrounding himself with others who are suffering. He meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) on a business flight, and they become quick friends. Tyler leads him into a life he never imagined, forcing Norton's character to hit bottom so he can improve his life. Fight Club is beautifully shot, has a great script and appropriate background music. The script challenges the viewer to think about their life in different ways and makes them think about the consumeristic culture in which people find themselves today. The DVD has tons of extra commentary and outtakes - which only make you appreciate the movie even more. A must buy.

Summary: Marla, the big tourist...
Review: Helena Bonham-Carter's acting is perfect, Edward Norton's acting is perfect, Meatloaf's acting is perfect, and Brad Pitt's abs are perfect. While not as profound as the author was intending, this is one hell of a movie, if you'll just give it that old willing suspension of disbelief. I give it 4.9 stars out of 5. Comes in just behind The Wizard of Oz and Lawrence of Arabia.

Summary: Soap...Never use it again...
Review: Well, first I can say, I am not a fan of Brad Pitt. I would of thought that he was a female draw, bringing nothing for the guys. For that reason, I did not see this at the theater, I could of but I did not. However, now that I viewed it on DVD, I have a new apprecation for the actor. He brought to this film, a street wise, who gives a damn attitude that made this film what it is. I can not say I am going to run out and see every film of his after seeing this, but just give apprecation. Edward Norton, well I have been a fan of his for a while. Supporting People vs. Larry Flynt, Keeping the Faith amoung others. So that was an even and great match to me. The film has so many twists and turns that it will keep your head spinning. I went in to this film, awaiting a hoorid movie, and came out thinking what a great job. The black humor sticks all throughout the film. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt make a club, a fight club were they can get their pent-up, oppressed anger out, the natural way, no drugs needed, maybe a beer and a smoke after words. If you do not understand the plot, it is as simple as that. Well not really, it actually more clogged and eroded than you can imagine. The DVD review... This DVD is packed, leaving anyone with a smile on their face. Two featurets and tons of "spots". So, I am suggesting that you should view this film, even if you do not like the actors or what have you. It is 5 out of 5 and maybe to violent for some but, well... Hoped I helped you either way, R__Y__A__N___A__N__
