Summary: Incredible, Amazing... DVD!
Review: This Special Edition Fight Club DVD from 20 Century Fox is definitely special, it's great and will not easily be matched, except maybe by Criterion. This DVD has so many great extra features that it's mind boggling, and the picture and sound are just about perfect. It's admirable to see that the people who were involved in producing this DVD with 20th Century Fox took their time and didn't settle for just presenting the letterbox, 1 behind the scenes, trailer, and scene access, which would have been OK, but, instead pushed the limits of what can and should be done on DVD. After all, why not use the DVD technology to present something different and better than VHS and Laserdisc. The movie itself is very underrated by many critics and viewers. The performances are very good, especially Helena Bohnam Carter and director David Fincher manages to create a moody surreal atmosphere that is both beautiful and horrific. The incredibly bad trashing of this film reminds me of one of my favorite films "Peeping Tom" which when released in 1960, also dealt with controversial subject matter on violence, and was similarly trashed by stuffed shirt critics and viewers who give opinions depending on the mood they're in at the time. Everyone who owns a DVD player should own this Fight Club DVD, or might as well throw your DVD player away. Also hightly recommended DVDs are, The Abyss, Alien, Brazil, The Wizard of Oz, Taxi Driver, Lost Horizon, and Vertigo.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: For once, the movie has managed to live up to the book from whence it came. Fight Club forces you to take a look at society as it is and gives cause to wonder, are we really so bad off?

Summary: Disturbing Genius
Review: Do you have angst or pent up aggression? Think again and then see this movie. It will take you and a journey into the darkest reaches of the human psyche that you may scare yourself when you realize how much you are enjoying this movie.Fight Club is the story of pure disturbing genius. The protagonist, Ed Norton and co-star Brad Pitt embark on a journey of the most primal or emotions, rage. They provide the outlet for society's rage in Fight Club. This movie is so much more than just the story of some guys who get together and beat eachother up. As it progresses, a whirlwind of emotions begin to batter at Norton. By the time it is over, you will not know what happened. Watch it again. Things will start to become clear. With an ending rivalling that of the Sixth Sense, Fight Club did not recieve the attention it deserved. I'd say that it is destined to achieve cult status, with myself strongly in tow.

Summary: Deserves its No.1
Review: Right now if you are considering buying one film make sure that it is Fight Club. Beyond the aparrently glorified violence and noiresque direction is a fantastic twist of one mans take on life. The 'I never thought that would happen' factor of the film is massive, more so than 'The Usual Suspects'giving it grest 're-watcgabilty' although the violence and dark nature of the film won't cater to everyone's taste those with a smart stomach and a strong head will love Fight Club. So go buy it. Now....

Summary: Fight Club on DVD
Review: I think this was an exciting and thrilling movie that was better watched on the DVD version. This is because of the great quality of the picture as well as the behind the scenes view of the making of the movie, never before scenes as well as the actor and director commentaries. I greatly recommend anyone who liked the movie to see it on DVD, it is a great change, and i think u will like it, or even love it....almost as much as choclate ice cream or ice cold lemonade on a hot day!

Summary: Wierder than normal, but also better than normal.
Review: With 12 Monkeys, Brad Pitt confirmed himself as one of the better American actors. Same goes for Ed Norton in Primal Fear. Now it's no coincidence that they played stranger than normal characters, but they also made them believable. I think, that that is the mark of a terrific actor.

Review: Watch this freaking movie. I wasn't thrilled with my friends persueding me to go see the thing but when I left the theater i was in deep thought and had a new favorite film to brag about. If you thing that "The Sixth Sense" (horrible movie by the way) had a twist wait till you see this film.

Summary: David Fincher: the greatest director
Review: I bought the DVD of Fight Club just a few days ago, and I have seen it about 5 times. It is great! David Fincher is the best director of the 21st century. The film editing was awesome and so was the music of the Dust Brothers. It's too bad that Fight Club received only 1 Academy Award nomination. I believe that David Fincher should've receive the nomination for Best directing. It's a shame.

Summary: Where we are........unfortunately
Review: FIGHT CLUB is one of the most disturbing contemporary social summations ever drawn. Sort of a LORD OF THE FLIES for the 21st Century. It is with a sense of acknowledged regret to agree that the film is a wakeup call. This is brilliant movie making and if you find the story, the acting, the concept, the message just this side of nausea, then watch this DVD again and again until you are able to accept the fact that this may by apocalyptic. Yes, it is over the top, but at times that is the only way to get our numbed brains to come to attention. This is a dark film, incredibly well made and acted and photographed and directed. Maybe now that you can see it in the privacy of your home you'll feel more comfoartable coming to grips with where we as a society could easily go...if films like this didn't make us stop and think. And just when you think you've fully explored the ugliness of the male psyche, run the last minutes in stop frame motion and see the subliminal shots Fincher has included that lambast our phobia of showing full frontal male nudity. Terrific technique!

Summary: :-(
Review: i was kind of liking this movie until the end, when you find out that the whole movie was just an illusion. Brad Pitt was not even real, he was just in Edward Norton's imagination, and everything Brad Pitt did, was actually Edward Norton doing. that was the worst ending to a movie i ever seen in my life.
