That seems to bypass the major achievement of this film, which is that it is able to wax philosophical about our dehumanisation while being bloody entertaining from start to finish.

It is certainly uncomfortable viewing at times. More worrying is that it flirts throughout with silly machismo and a hackneyed twist at the end, but if nothing else, it at least can justify both of those directions. It remains a clever and thought-provoking exploration of its theme -- regardless of how many people have thought of asking similar questions before.… Expand

There is so much to be said about its thematic layering, and how it perfectly wraps a story around it's central theme--that hyper masculinity is completely dangerous--but it still romanticizes that violence of that masculinity. There aren't really any consequences faced by the main character; he is strong enough to realize his own insanity, confront it, and destroy it, but all too late. Too many people miss the point, and end up starting their own Fight Club (which is exactly what this is against doing).… Expand

This has always been one of my favorite movies of all time. I finally got around to reading the book. There are some very notable departures from the plot of the book, but I really like the adaptations and changes they made with the movie.

It is original and unpredictable and has good performances but its ideas are horrible: strong minorities should impose their will upon society and freedom is connected with violence and primal instincts. argonautis.eu

A stellar and amazing film from David Fincher. Over the years this film has managed to stay relevant and powerful. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton's chemistry is some of the strongest I have seen.

David Fincher's direction is spectacular and the script is clever, and adds some delightfully dark comedy. This one of the strangest movies I've ever seen, and I say this in the best way possible. Yeah, some moments were a little over-the-top but that didn't ruin the movie.

Overall, pretty good movie with good acting performances and a darkly comic story.

A underrated classical mosaic, that mashes up Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange with Hitchcock's Strangers on A Train that will make you cringe with more graphic violence you haven't seen in any other film or adult rated comic

In fact, though definitely not one for the kiddiewinks, Fincher's film is a molasses-black comedy shot through with his blistering, hyper-kinetic style, a score that punches you in the chest, and standout performances from Pitt and Norton. And sadly, it's afflicted with one flaw that just ejects it from the masterpiece category.

Our narrator, 'Jack' (Norton), is a directionless everybloke who, when not weathering humiliating chewings-out at work, exists as an inadequate nighthawk, trying to cure his chronic insomnia by fixing on the synthetic sympathy of assorted nocturnal self-help groups. Solace is finally found with his head enveloped in a sobbing Meatloaf's pendulous **** **** while attending a support group for men with testicular cancer (told you this was black). The symbolism couldn't be clearer - if Jack isn't actually ball-less, he might as well be.

Something obviously has to give, and it does when Jack meets Tyler Durden (Pitt) on the plane home from a business trip. He arrives back at his apartment to find it in ruins - having mysteriously exploded in a fiery Armageddon of Ikea - so he calls Tyler, who invites him to crash round his place. And then invites him to punch him in the kisser. Which he does, and soon they're scrapping like squaddies in the car park, and enjoying it - the simple act of mano-a-mano rucking reminding Jack not only that he's alive, but that he's a he.

The craze spreads, and fight clubs start springing up all over the country with Tyler as their charismatic leader. But Tyler has a hidden agenda, and before Jack knows it, he's extending his organisation's activities into surreal random acts of anti-capitalist terrorism - the highly secret Project Mayhem. Starbucks coffee houses are razed. Corporate art is demolished. And rich, vain women have their own liposuctioned lard sold back to them as classy soap.

There are so many ways to read Fight Club that it's almost impossible to know where to start. Is it a fascistic call to action for a generation of dickless wonders? A homoerotic love story in which Jack is reintroduced to his nads before being carried off in Tyler's pneumatic arms? A satire on modern feminism's cartoonish views of what men are like, or...? Well, have a go yourself. It's half the fun.

The other half is Fincher's scorching style. From an opening title sequence that out-Sevens Seven's, he presents a maelstrom of celluloid sorcery. Flash cuts, subliminal images, fake cue dots, jumping film... it's a howling monster of a movie that virtually sticks its ravening snout out of the screen and bites you.

Norton is as fine as ever, but Pitt is the standout, lending Tyler a beguiling sense of glamour and danger, while the fights themselves - vicious brawls accompanied by the sound of cracking bones - herald the movie's most subversive image: men's blood-drenched, caved-in heads sporting huge, almost post-coital, smiles.

But then it starts to go awry. From the moment Project Mayhem is instituted, some of the sly blackness leaks out, and after a slew of implausibilities in the last half hour - including a twist out of the bottom of a cornflakes packet - it degenerates into an entertaining but vacuous comedy. Finally, having lost the courage of its gleefully nasty convictions, it concludes with a tiny burp of a bad gag. In the end, Fincher's brilliant film is, ironically, short in the cojones department - and if he wants to argue about it, we'd be happy to. Outside.
Fight Club is one movie that exactly caught the pre-millennial tension. Great performances, stunning visuals and a plot like nothing you've ever seen - One of the best films Ever!… Expand

Jack andInsurance drone Jack (Norton) can't sleep, and haunts self-help groups for fatal illnesses until he encounters Tyler Durden (Pitt), a charismatic anarchist who invites him to move into his decrepit house after his condo is blown up. Jack and Tyler have recreational fist-fights, which expand into an underground masculinist movement. However, cracks appear in the relationship as Tyler cops off with a Goth bizarro (Bonham Carter) and his pranks go from subversive to near-homicidal.

In a time when so few motion pictures leave an impact,With its kinetic style, visceral approach, compelling storyline, and powerful social message, Fight Club makes a commanding case to be considered the '90s version of A Clockwork Orange. In a time when so few motion pictures leave an impact, Fight Club refuses to be ignored or dismissed. The experience lingers, demanding to be pondered and considered, and, unlike 95% of modern-day thrillers, there is a great deal here to think about and argue over. Fight Club presents an overload of thought-provoking material that works on so many levels as to offer grist for the mills of thousands of reviews, feature articles, and post-screening conversations.

Pre-release interest in Fight Club was understandably high, primarily because of those involved with the project. Jim Uhls' script is based on an influential novel by Chuck Palahniuk (a book that, while not required material in schools, has consumed the free time of countless readers). The lead actor is the ever-popular Brad Pitt, who makes his strongest bid to date to shed his pretty boy image and don the mantle of a serious thespian. Those dubious about Pitt's ability to pull this off in the wake of his recent attempts in Seven Years in Tibet (which is briefly referenced as an in-joke during Fight Club) and Meet Joe Black will suffer a change of heart after seeing this film. Pitt's male co-star, Edward Norton, is widely recognized as one of the most intelligent and versatile performers of his generation. And Fight Club's director, David Fincher, has already made a huge artistic impression on movie-goers with only three features to his credit: Alien 3, Seven (starring Pitt), and The Game. Mix these elements together in Fox's publicity blender, and Fight Club will not carry the title of "Best Movie of 1999 That No One Saw."

Told in a conventional fashion, Fight Club would still have been engaging. However, Fincher's gritty, restless style turns it into a visual masterpiece. The overall experience is every bit as surreal as watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. This is a tale that unfolds in an eerie alternate universe where the melodies of life have the same rhythm as in ours but are in a different key. Fincher also shows just enough restraint that his flourishes seem like important parts of the storytelling method instead of gimmicks. And there are a lot of them. In one scene, a character's apartment is laid out like a page in a furniture catalog, complete with text blurbs superimposed on the screen describing the various pieces. There are occasional single frame interruptions that flash by so quickly that they may pass unnoticed. The film opens with a truly inventive close-up - one that literally gets under the skin. Also in play: a non-linear chronology, a voiceover by a narrator who might not be entirely reliable, frequent breaking of the fourth wall, and an occasional freeze-frame. As was true of Fincher's other three films, Fight Club is dark and fast-paced. There's not a lot of time for introspection. One could call this MTV style, but, unlike many equally frantic movies, there's a reason for each quick cut beyond preventing viewers from becoming bored.

Perhaps the most discussed aspect of Fight Club will be its attitude towards and graphic depiction of violence. Even before the film's official premiere, voices have been raised claiming that the movie glorifies violence by portraying it as something positive. This was the complaint leveled against A Clockwork Orange, which, less than three decades after its controversial release, is universally regarded as a classic. There's no denying that Fight Club is a violent movie. Some sequences are so brutal that a portion of the viewing audience will turn away. (The scene that caused me to wince was when one character reached into his mouth and pulled out a loose tooth.) But the purpose of showing all this bloody pummeling is to make a telling point about the bestial nature of man and what can happen when the numbing effects of day-to-day drudgery cause people to go a little crazy. The men who become members of Fight Club are victims of the dehumanizing and desensitizing power of modern-day society. They have become cogs in a wheel. The only way they can regain a sense of individuality is by getting in touch with the primal, barbaric instincts of pain and violence.

It remains to be seen whether Fight Club will generate any Oscars. The strength of the writing, direction, and acting justifies a stream of nominations, but quality has never been the driving factor in who is recognized by the Academy. Regardless of how it is received in February, when the nominations are announced, Fight Club is a memorable and superior motion picture - a rare movie that does not abandon insight in its quest to jolt the viewer. This marriage of adrenaline and intelligence will make Fight Club a contender for many Best 10 lists at the end of 1999.… Expand

In A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick depicted the actions of the Droogs but did not condone it. This is Fincher's approach in Fight Club. As the film progresses, he systematically reveals each new turn in an ever-deepening spiral that descends into darkness and madness. There's also a heavy element of satire and black comedy. Macabre humor can be found everywhere, from the pithy quips traded by Jack and Tyler to the way Jack interacts with his boss. When combined together, the satire, violence, and unpredictable narrative make a lasting and forceful statement about modern-day society. It's a timely message that hints at why there are post office shootings and kids in schools killing their fellow students. By blaming movies like Fight Club for real-life horrors, politicians want us to look at the world through rose-colored glasses that they have tinted. Instead, Fincher offers a clear, uncompromising portrait that disturbs because it is perceptive and defies the facile answers proffered by elected officials. Movies are not to blame. Guns are not to blame. People and the society that has spawned and stifled them are.

In addition to lead actors Pitt, Norton, and Bonham Carter, all of whom do impeccable work, there are a pair of notable supporting players. The first is Meat Loaf (yes, that Meat Loaf), who portrays the ineffectual Bob. It's a surprisingly strong performance, with the singer-turned-actor capturing the nuances of a complex character. Jared Leto, who is becoming better known to audiences (he was recently in The Thin Red Line), is the blond Angel Face.

Told in a conventional fashion, Fight Club would still have been engaging. However, Fincher's gritty, restless style turns it into a visual masterpiece. The overall experience is every bit as surreal as watching Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. This is a tale that unfolds in an eerie alternate universe where the melodies of life have the same rhythm as in ours but are in a different key. Fincher also shows just enough restraint that his flourishes seem like important parts of the storytelling method instead of gimmicks. And there are a lot of them. In one scene, a character's apartment is laid out like a page in a furniture catalog, complete with text blurbs superimposed on the screen describing the various pieces. There are occasional single frame interruptions that flash by so quickly that they may pass unnoticed. The film opens with a truly inventive close-up - one that literally gets under the skin. Also in play: a non-linear chronology, a voiceover by a narrator who might not be entirely reliable, frequent breaking of the fourth wall, and an occasional freeze-frame. As was true of Fincher's other three films, Fight Club is dark and fast-paced. There's not a lot of time for introspection. One could call this MTV style, but, unlike many equally frantic movies, there's a reason for each quick cut beyond preventing viewers from becoming bored.

In A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick depicted the actions of the Droogs but did not condone it. This is Fincher's approach in Fight Club. As the film progresses, he systematically reveals each new turn in an ever-deepening spiral that descends into darkness and madness. There's also a heavy element of satire and black comedy. Macabre humor can be found everywhere, from the pithy quips traded by Jack and Tyler to the way Jack interacts with his boss. When combined together, the satire, violence, and unpredictable narrative make a lasting and forceful statement about modern-day society. It's a timely message that hints at why there are post office shootings and kids in schools killing their fellow students. By blaming movies like Fight Club for real-life horrors, politicians want us to look at the world through rose-colored glasses that they have tinted. Instead, Fincher offers a clear, uncompromising portrait that disturbs because it is perceptive and defies the facile answers proffered by elected officials. Movies are not to blame. Guns are not to blame. People and the society that has spawned and stifled them are.

Fight Club is a memorable and superior motion picture - a rare movie that does not abandon insight in its quest to jolt the viewer. This marriage of adrenaline and intelligence will make Fight Club a contender for many Best 10 lists at the end of 1999.… Expand

If you're looking to get punched in the face, then kicked in the mind by a movie. You must watch this. Probably one of my favorite movies. It somehow gets better the second time you watch it!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I knew nothing about Fight Club going in. I'd seen three other Fincher films before this one (this is very different from his other films). I thought it was going to be about a guy in some sort of gang who wants to leave but can't because he'll be killed or something. I was sorta right. Not really. Fight Club is about a guy named Edward Norton who starts a fight club that gets out of hand or about a guy trying to figure out who he is and what his purpose is in life or about a guy with multiple personality disorder. Maybe, all three. It was filmed in 1999 by David Fincher. Apparently, it's based off a 1996 novel of the same name. I'm actually okay with having watched the movie first because I bet it was better than the novel.

Edward is a super likable character. Not only do you really care about him but also about his very relatable feelings of unimportance. But the one thing that makes him the most likable is his voice overs. Voice overs make movies so much more fun to watch and really let you understand how the character thinks and observes things. Shawshank and American Psycho are the two best examples I can think of right now. I just realized all those films are based on novels. That's what books have always had over movies. You are in the character's head seeing things through their eyes. You end up bonding with the main character more and you care much more about what happens to them. Voice overs are a great way to bring this aspect into film.

I loved how natural the fight club was. If an idiot made this film, the fight club would have been formed in the first ten minutes because of a random sequence of consequential events. Instead, every thing slowly ends up happening. A bunch of small choices and moments led to the fight club being formed. Edward's personality shows why a guy like him would start such a club and because of this everything that happens in the movie feels natural and not forced to make the movie more suspenseful or fun. In Gravity, everything bad that could ever happen ends up happening to Sandra Bullock. This is a cheap and lazy way to keep the movie interesting. Everything in Fight Club just feels more real and it's much harder to not be sucked into the film.

It's great that they put the enjoyment of the movie before it's meaning. I felt that instead of shoving a bunch of symbolism and philosophical questions down your throat (looking at you Matrix), it makes sure the movie stays fun and interesting and treats it's meaning like icing on a wonderful cake. Not saying that the film's meaning isn't important but enjoyability should come first. I'm sure I can't be the only one who noticed but it really felt like fight club was a lot like self harm. Literally and metaphorically. They are hurting themselves with intense pain to make everything else more numb. Or smaller things like when in the restaurant, Edward gets offered a smoke and he says he doesn't smoke. Two or three scenes later he's smoking while walking down the street.

10/10 -- Masterpiece.I really can't think of anything wrong with this movie and everyone should watch it at least once. I might have to start watching all of Fincher's other movies and make a best to worst list. Also, the close up scenes were the coolest and I won't forget to mention the awesome Tyler Durden job scene.

P.S. I know I didn't mention Tyler Durden. It didn't feel appropriate since they are both the same person.… Expand

The film is just so incredibly different from any other films out there and it's really, really good. The acting from everyone is top notch and it's really something different. I you haven't watched it, go watch it.

In a time when so few motion pictures leave an impact,With its kinetic style, visceral approach, compelling storyline, and powerful social message, Fight Club makes a commanding case to be considered the '90s version of A Clockwork Orange. In a time when so few motion pictures leave an impact, Fight Club refuses to be ignored or dismissed. The experience lingers, demanding to be pondered and considered, and, unlike 95% of modern-day thrillers, there is a great deal here to think about and argue over. Fight Club presents an overload of thought-provoking material that works on so many levels as to offer grist for the mills of thousands of reviews, feature articles, and post-screening conversations.

Pre-release interest in Fight Club was understandably high, primarily because of those involved with the project. Jim Uhls' script is based on an influential novel by Chuck Palahniuk (a book that, while not required material in schools, has consumed the free time of countless readers). The lead actor is the ever-popular Brad Pitt, who makes his strongest bid to date to shed his pretty boy image and don the mantle of a serious thespian. Those dubious about Pitt's ability to pull this off in the wake of his recent attempts in Seven Years in Tibet (which is briefly referenced as an in-joke during Fight Club) and Meet Joe Black will suffer a change of heart after seeing this film. Pitt's male co-star, Edward Norton, is widely recognized as one of the most intelligent and versatile performers of his generation. And Fight Club's director, David Fincher, has already made a huge artistic impression on movie-goers with only three features to his credit: Alien 3, Seven (starring Pitt), and The Game. Mix these elements together in Fox's publicity blender, and Fight Club will not carry the title of "Best Movie of 1999 That No One Saw."

One could call this MTV style, but, unlike many equally frantic movies, there's a reason for each quick cut beyond preventing viewers from becoming bored.

Perhaps the most discussed aspect of Fight Club will be its attitude towards and graphic depiction of violence. Even before the film's official premiere, voices have been raised claiming that the movie glorifies violence by portraying it as something positive. This was the complaint leveled against A Clockwork Orange, which, less than three decades after its controversial release, is universally regarded as a classic. There's no denying that Fight Club is a violent movie. Some sequences are so brutal that a portion of the viewing audience will turn away. (The scene that caused me to wince was when one character reached into his mouth and pulled out a loose tooth.) But the purpose of showing all this bloody pummeling is to make a telling point about the bestial nature of man and what can happen when the numbing effects of day-to-day drudgery cause people to go a little crazy. The men who become members of Fight Club are victims of the dehumanizing and desensitizing power of modern-day society. They have become cogs in a wheel. The only way they can regain a sense of individuality is by getting in touch with the primal, barbaric instincts of pain and violence.

It remains to be seen whether Fight Club will generate any Oscars. The strength of the writing, direction, and acting justifies a stream of nominations, but quality has never been the driving factor in who is recognized by the Academy. Regardless of how it is received in February, when the nominations are announced, Fight Club is a memorable and superior motion picture - a rare movie that does not abandon insight in its quest to jolt the viewer. This marriage of adrenaline and intelligence will make Fight Club a contender for many Best 10 lists at the end of 1999.… Expand

From “Alien3” through “Seven” and “The Game,” David Fincher has always been attracted to dark material. In Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name about a cult of men who channel their pent-up physical aggression into increasinglyFrom “Alien3” through “Seven” and “The Game,” David Fincher has always been attracted to dark material. In Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name about a cult of men who channel their pent-up physical aggression into increasingly destructive pursuits, the director has found his most disturbing subject matter yet. And in debuting screenwriter Jim Uhls’ clever, savagely witty script and the unremitting volley of information it launches, Fincher has found the perfect countermeasures to balance his coldly atmospheric, often distancing style.

The position on violence here can be read on a number of levels. Somewhat controversially in light of the post-Littleton, Colo., debate, “Fight Club” plays mischievously with film conventions, almost winking at the audience to convey the characters’ awareness of being part of a movie that deals in hot-button issues. This rather audaciously gives the impression of a film throwing the responsibility for violence back onto society and refusing to accept blame.

Set in an unidentified, semi-stylized city, the story’s nameless narrator (Edward Norton) is introduced with a gun in his mouth before backing up six months to recap his troubles with insomnia. Refusing to treat him, a doctor instructs him instead to sit in on a testicular cancer victims’ group to put his own pain in perspective. He quickly becomes addicted to support groups for a range of terminal illnesses, freely weeping and embracing his “fellow” sufferers as a means to find the release he needs to sleep.

But the arrival of another tourist, Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), makes him uncomfortable with his dishonesty. Her blithe admission that the support groups are “cheaper than a movie and there’s free coffee” is one of many instances in which pitch-black, corrosive humor touches subjects that will make many audiences blanch with indignation.

Around this time, he meets enigmatic Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who makes and sells soap for a living while moonlighting as a projectionist, splicing pornographic images into family films, and as a waiter, sabotaging meals. When the narrator’s apartment and all his diligently accumulated material possessions are destroyed in a freak explosion, he calls Tyler for a place to stay.

They meet at a bar and get tanked together, after which Tyler amicably picks a fight that seals their bond and marks the beginning of a phenomenon that each week attracts new participants. The narrator moves into the dilapidated mansion in a toxic waste area that Tyler calls home, routinely continuing his job all week as an auto safety checker but waiting for the charge that comes with fighting each Saturday night in a club whose members are sworn to secrecy.

A persuasive speaker who encourages a lost generation of men to access pain as a remedy for contemporary despair and numbness, Tyler’s following quickly grows. Fight club chapters start springing up across the country and when Tyler begins assigning homework, the members take their aggressive behavior into the outside world with acts of violence, vandalism and subversiveness. His disciples start turning up at the house to enlist in an army for Project Mayhem, the full extent of which is only gradually revealed.

The narrator’s feelings veer from rejection and abandonment after Tyler’s sudden disappearance to moral revulsion as he sets out to stop a dramatic chain of events and is brought face to face with discoveries regarding his true nature that provide the story’s big twist.

Pitt is cool, charismatic and more dynamically physical perhaps than he has been since his breakthrough role in “Thelma and Louise,” while Bonham Carter, outfitted like a gothic prom queen and spouting acerbic maxims with attitude to burn, demolishes any residue of her buttoned-up Merchant-Ivory image in a tough, sharp-edged turn.

In a film that requires the viewer to keep absorbing information for most of its two-hours-plus duration, Fincher never loosens his grip on the material, with editor James Haygood contributing to establish a driving pace. As always with the director’s work, visual aspects are consistently impressive, from Alex McDowell’s richly elaborate, at times a little too slick production design to the drained, often greenish or jaundiced tones of d.p. Jeff Cronenweth’s extremely mobile widescreen lensing, which includes several knockout sequences in which the camera careens through skin tissue, electrical circuitry or bomb wiring. Also notable are the complex sound design and dreamy techno score by the Dust Brothers (Michael Simpson, John King).… Expand

Already a classic and one of my personal favorites of all time, this movie is pure adrenaline compressed in around 2 hours of Chuck Palahniuk visual representation mastered to perfection. No matter how many times you watch it you'll get stuck in wonder in what is in my opinion the greatest/weird/insightful mind of a character ever created. Tyler Durden vision comes in this movie, as well as the book, to haunt every thought in your mind. The only think i didn't like in this movie are this so called professional movie critics. Sure anyone have their own opinion and good but some of the arguments of this so called professional aren't arguments at all. If there's an unrealistic tone in this movie? Yes, of course that's why is a movie and not a documentary. And is this movie mannish, or whatever that means? Yes, a lot, and so what? Does that mean it's less good just because doesn't appeal to the latest trends of this easily offended society? Well to wrap it up, every minute of this movie is pure joy (in every sense of the way, even in scary traumatic way) and hope you, reader, enjoy it as much as i did.… Expand

Surely, there have been worse cases of remarkable filmic talent in service of pretentious, sensationalistic trash but few have been so effective and entertaining as this which further complicates the issue. The theme is about how modern society has reduced males into enneuchs and how this warps our subconscious into anarcho-fascist mode, but really... why not just go to the health club and work out a sweat? Norton is brilliant as usual; far more surprising is how Pitt not only holds his own against the great Norton but even outshines him on occasion. Ultimately however, too infantile and stupid to be called irresponsible. This is movie as monumental heavy metal song with punk-rock riffs thrown in for good measure.… Expand

The most mischievous and anarchic opus of the mastermind of Se7en. In some sense is a protest letter against conformism and consumer society; remarks Norton and Pitt in dual role of Tyler Dunder. Just remember the first rule of Fight Club.

It is an exploration of violence not only as a mean to express something, but as many different avenues to take. I can say that it gives me a glimpse of how we as people sometimes not only can create a reality that fits our desires or goals, but shift our enviroment and our experiences to serve it. The tone may scare some people, and rightfully so, but in general, this club is one I did enjoy observing if nothing else.… Expand

One of the few films that you can watch over and over again while still enjoying it.
Fight Club has some minor flaws, however it is more than made up for by it's witty script, stylistic directing, and on point acting.

A bewildered Carter is brilliant but woefully underused. What happens when you've got too much testosterone and modern society won't let you do anything with it? The filmmakers claim they're showing the folly and danger of wanton mayhem, destruction, and general beating the crap out of each other as coping mechanism, but they sure do a good job of rationalizing and glorifying it. The first half is witty and clever enough; the last act just kind of dissolves into "meh". For all the philosophizing and pontificating, the overall message still seems to be "breaking stuff is cool, huh-huh".… Expand

The movie's got some brilliant performances from all of the cast especially from Tyler (Brad Pitt) and The Narrator (Edward Norton), those two are honestly amazing throughout this movie.

The dialogue which is given from each character throughout this movie is very strong, each piece of dialogue is received beautifully.

Also, the humour which is scattered throughout this movie is all honestly hilarious and it always hits the mark in brilliant humour.

The pacing which this movie's got is honestly great and all of the main moments are all built up beautifully.

The movie's even got some beautiful cinematography which was done by Jeff Cronenweth. He does such a brilliant job on capturing these moments so well and he brings each moment to life so beautifully.

Finally, the movie's got some brilliantly choreographed action sequences and all of the action sequences are all honestly very graphic and very brutal but each one of them are all done so well.

The movie's makeup artist Julie Pearce does such a fantastic job on making the graphic and brutal look to the characters faces come to life throughout this movie.

The movie's even got a beautiful soundtrack, which was fully composed by the Dust Brothers. They honestly do such a great job on making such a beautiful but brilliant soundtrack for this godly movie.

Overall, Fight Club is a brilliant movie and it's even a masterpiece and a half. The movie's got an amazing story, brilliant performances, strong dialogue, brilliant humour, great pacing, beautiful cinematography, brilliantly choreographed action sequences, some fantastic makeup artists and such a beautiful but brilliant soundtrack.

Overall, 'Fight Club' underwhelmed me. I actually knew very little before viewing it, despite hearing about it on a surface level for years and years; well, one 'regulatory' part of it anyway. It's much deeper than I had expected. Unfortunately, I didn't find entertainment with any of it - it was, to be honest, a slog to sit through.

The only scene I can remember enjoying is the very last one, and I don't mean that negatively because the end shot is terrific. It's just everything that comes before didn't do anything for me. Yet, I still rate its intentions. It did keep me guessing amidst my, near, boredom and the 'event' is a good one on paper. It just failed to connect on me in actuality.

Brad Pitt is good as Tyler, though the likes of Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter give meh performances in my opinion. Meat Loaf is interesting, I guess, as Bob.

I'm evidently in the extreme minority with my thoughts, each to their own, but I honestly didn't get into it sadly. As noted, though, I still partially rate it weirdly. 6* feels harsh, so I give it 7*.… Expand

Purely for my taste, I liked this one better. Fight Club starts off innocently enough, although interestingly enough, and that is what worked so well in the aforementioned Se7en and it is the case here again. Interesting. That's something this director has in his little finger. The film grabs you and doesn't let go and gradually builds up on the interestingness and a wonderful gradation emerges that culminates and also satisfies the viewer, or at least me. The story is not only interesting and engaging overall, but underlined by its revelations. For me, a great film that I recommend.… Expand

The film tells the story of a man experiencing an existential crisis who creates a movement, and it is elevated by the dynamic performances of Edward Norton and Brad Pitt as unlikely partners, and Helena Bonham Carter as the quirky Marla Singer. The film's originality, part-time drama, part-time dark comedy, and its themes of existentialism, masculinity and consumerism have made it a timeless classic. While the film may feel a bit dated at times, it's undeniable that 'Fight Club' has left an indelible mark on cinema and pop culture.
