Summary: Never a dull moment!
Review: From the opening sequence to the final shot,this movie will keep you glued to your seat and your eyes fastend to the screen.This is one of those rare films that blends action,suspense and comedy beautifully and effectively,not to mention the on-the-nose social comentary. To really explain this movie would take to long,plus I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say to explain this movie is to spoil this movie and this one is to good to spoil. This is definately a must-see movie. The screenplay is great the acting outstanding. Edward Norton is,as always, perfect. Brad Pitt shines in his best role to date. If you only buy one film this year,this is hands down the one to spend your money on.

Summary: Cool movie, but overextended
Review: great premise and story telling... but this movie went on WAY too long. I dont want to spoil the film's conclusion but let's just say it gets pointless once the fight club is in existance for a 1/2 hour. There's 45 mins of movie that could have been cut out... for those that have seen it.. the whole "Fight club terrorism" part. 1/2 way through I thought 'this is going to be my favorite movie ever' and then it got stupid and long.

Summary: The best film of 1999?
Review: Maybe one of the best films of the last 10 years. Fight Club is one of the deepest film released in a long time. Most people see it as just violence, for violence's sake. But in reality, it's a modern day parable about consumerist culture. The fact this film is also very funny, will probably pass unnoticed by many.

Summary: One of the best I've seen
Review: How did this movie not even get NOMINATED for any awards besides MTV's best fight? Come on, this was better then any movie made in 1999, except American Beauty. Brad Pitt was amazing. His work as Tyler just kept me interested in what he was doing throughout the whole movie. Edward Norton also kept me laughing as eveything he did seemed to be so heart-breaking and funny at the same time. Fight Club was one of the best movies I have ever rented and once this thing stops costing 106 dollars, I WILL buy it.

Summary: Ambitious and Fun
Review: Most of the Critics who tore this movie apart were not doing their jobs correctly. This is because they were hating it for personal reasons. For example: "this movie discriminates twords women" or "it glorifies violence." First of all, it does neither. It is a daring and fun ride through the the human mind. It is a psychological and daring thriller that says a LOT about our society and doesn't blind us from the truth. Another good thing about this film is that it doesn't censor itself, it says what it wants and it's not scared to. It's a mind trip that is hard to look away from once you're watching, it's like a drug. It is also one of those movies that puts you in it's world and doesn't let you out until the ending credits. Not to mention that there are some very amusing parts to this movie that will have you nervously laughing. PLUS, after reading the book I'd have to say that it follows it pretty well. MOST HIGHLY RECCOMENDED. Oh, and check out the 2 disc DVD special edition, this baby's loaded! Probably the most extensive special edition I have seen!

Summary: Fight Club
Review: In 1995 director David Fincher and Brad Pitt teamed up to make a little film called Seven that still creeps people out this day. Last year they teamed up with Fight Club. In this movie it is about an unknown character Played by Edward Norton who lives a white collar exsistenz and is getting very bored with his life. So he meets Tyler Durden pplayed by Brad Pitt. This film mainly works as a black comedy and as a social comentary. Those two start a club which they fight. This movie is not for the weak stomached it no holds bared violence. Director David Fincher shows kinetic visual style and offers up some bone crunching entertainmant. What i am really surprised with is Brad Pitt after the lame Meet Joe Black. Also i would have liked Seven years in Tibet if it didn't feel like seven years. This is easily one of his better movies. After the great Twelve Monkeys. Edward Norton holds his own and Helena Bonham Carter as Marla is great.

Summary: Fight Club
Review: The Movie: Fight Club is the story of the every man - Jack, who like most of us clocks in every day to a job, defines himself by what he owns, and simply does not sleep well. Jack finds solitude in myriad of support groups, everything from Men with Testicular Cancer, Sycle Sell Anemia Support Groups, and of course both Blood and Brain Parasite Support Groups. Jack doesn't have the ailments associated with each group, but he isn't exactly well either. Through a series of events Jack meets Tyler Durden and through Tyler he finds Fight Club, a much different kind of support group. I would say more, but as you will find out.... "The First Rule of Fight Club is- You Do Not Talk about Fight Club". Fight Club is an in your face adrenaline filled movie, which isn't afraid to laugh at itself and at us. It's part action film, part satire, part comedy. A strange and unique blend that really works. If you haven't seen Fight Club, be prepared, it's a movie that definitely has to grow on you. The first time I saw this film in the theaters I had a mixed reaction to it. Then I read the book by Chuck Palahniuk, and began to find myself really liking the story. By my third enthusiastic viewing on DVD I realized that Fight Club is one of those movies that truly improves with time and repeat viewing. The Picture: On DVD Fight Club looks great. Fight Club is presented in its theatrical aspect ratio of 2.40:1 and is enhanced for Wide Screen TV's. Having seen Fight Club in the theaters I was particularly impressed with the films transfer on to DVD. Fight Club is a very dark film with a lot of deep dark tones. The transfer to DVD masterfully reproduces these dark tones in a very clear and clean way while still maintaining the gritty feel of the movie. The Sound: Fight Club features truly fantastic 5.l Dolby Digital audio track which is used very well by both the movies sound effects and the excellent score by the Dust Brothers. A nice feature (if you have the equipment to support it) is the main Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track is THX EX enhanced - Which basically means it has an additional rear center channel. Fight Club is THX certified, I wish more of the the THX certified movies looked and sounded this good. The Extras: Fight Club is so packed to the gills with special features, I found myself spending as much time watching the special features as I did the movie. The best special features are the 4 audio commentary tracks on the DVD. It was quite a task listening to ALL 4 commentary tracks, and I'd recommend spacing them out a bit. The two tracks I liked the best were the main Commentary track with David Fincher and the second track with David Fincher, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. There are so many layers to this film and these two tracks really flesh out many of the subtleties and meaning which make Fight Club such an amazing movie. I was less enthralled by the track with Chuck Palanhiuk and Jim Uhls which sounded like buddies watching a football game, and when I got to the crew's audio track I was simply burned out. The Second Disc in this 2 disc set is devoted entirely to extras. Be warned, this DVD has so many features and so many options it's almost impossible to get through. While I admired the uniqueness of the way the Making of Fight Club Features were presented (with multiple camera angles and audio tracks), I found the experience of watching them to be disjointed. I was so overwhelmed by option and selections that it really didn't end up being an enjoyable experience. I think the Making of Fight Club Features are a great example of DVD technology being over used and getting in the way of the enjoyment of the material. I would have much rather seen a more compiled making of documentary over the fragments presented on this DVD. When Fight Club was announced I got the impression that there would be many more Outtakes and Deleted Scenes. There are only 7 fairly short deleted scenes, most of which compare the deleted scene with the scene that ended up in the movie. With so much room on the second DVD I would have liked to see more Outtakes and Bloopers (like on the Criterion release of Armageddon). If you are a fan of trailers and promos, you'll be in heaven with Fight Club. I don't think I've ever seen such an extensive collection of promotional materials including: Teasers, Trailers, TV Spots, Internet Ads, PSA, Posters, Lobby Cards and even the Film's Press Kit. Of special note are the Fight Club Internet Ads which are extremely entertaining as well as 2 PSA's which are just hilarious. Conclusion: Fight Club is a really exceptional DVD due mostly to the superb film and sound transfer. It is packed with special features, but quantity in this case doesn't necessarily mean quality. I spent a great deal of time with Fight Club, much more than almost any other DVD that I own, but not all of that time was quality time. Especially on the second DVD, I found myself spending a lot of time just flipping around trying to figure out what I was watching. If Fox had released Fight Club with the great picture and sound and only 2 of the commentary tracks, a solid making of documentary and the deleted scenes, on one DVD, it would have been enough, the rest is bonus.

Summary: Tear
Review: A fascinating, stylish and incredibly brave film that has touched a nerve amongst a generation brought up to work in useless jobs for 12 hours a day, this film is great if, like me, you've ever wanted to just smash something, anything, into a million pieces and laugh at the mess. It's not just about fighting, though - it's a dark comedy of contemporary society, filmed in a dazzling, incredible style, and acted with panache by a series of people who portray ennui compellingly. Edward Norton is fantastic - half-dead, zombie-like, wandering through the film without any recognisable personality, he's nonetheless compellingly cynical and world-weary, especially in the few moments of office-bound, repressed rage he allows himself. Both Brad Pitt and Meat Loaf (Meat Loaf!) are excellent too - Mr Loaf being the only likeable character of the lot. These players move and talk through a strange tale of a rebellious underclass, terrorism and soap, culminating in an ending which, if not in the mind of the protagonist, is the most astonishing ending to be at the end of a modern Hollywood film. The music is great, too - the Dust Brothers do the spartan score, which veers from stomping techno to soul and back again. Like it or not, this film will stick in your mind.

Summary: By far the BEST movie of 1999!
Review: This movie is by far the best 1999 had to offer. No scene is wasted - every shot is perfect and meaningful to the story. The amount of violence is much less than what was portrayed in the media and what is there is essential to the storyline. I must admit that this IS a guy's movie - it may be THE guy's movie. I have the VHS and can't wait for the DVD. David Fincher rocks as "Seven" and "The Game" are almost as intriguing - but this is his masterpiece. Great acting, great screenplay, great concept, great musical score, and a haunting movie that will be remembered long after you see it.
