  A qualified "go"

  by elisamaza

  This was mostly as good as I'd heard. Norton, Pitt, and Bonham Carter all brought the crazy in a good way. The big twist was ruined for me years ago (and I wondered whether it would have been tipped fairly early on if I hadn't already known), but that didn't actually detract much. And, as someone I watched with said, "Anyone who watches it for the fights is missing the point." It is, by turns, thoughtful (and dead on) about the vapid spinelessness of consumer-driven culture, and completely full of it - I won't even get into the objections about the treatment (both in the film and as a component of it) of the one "real" female character in a movie all about wounded masculinity. I don't ever need to see it again - there's really only so much I can enjoy watching people's faces get bashed in - but I am glad I finally saw it.
  
  That said, I want to officially object to the end. The first 3/4 - maybe 4/5 of the movie get 4 stars. The end gets 2.

  One of my favorite movies ever.

  by Arzus

  Fight Club is amazing. Many people think it's just about men beating each other up, but it's not. It's more than that While that is part of it, it has a deep philosophical point, and is thought-provoking. It is, in fact, completely applicable to today's world. Especially since it's talking about it. The movie is quite demented, so I wouldn't watch it with your four year old nephew or kindly old grandma who only likes It's A Wonderful Life and related movies, but it's a movie meant to be shared. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton do a fantastic job on portraying the characters. If you haven't seen it, watch it now.

  I LOVED IT!!!

  by angel668

  From the very second it started i was drawn in. I saw it with my friends and none of them got it at first, it is one of those movies where you have to be able to follow it. Norton is the only person i could even imagine playing the narrator in this movie, without him it would not be Fight Club. Pitt also did a spectacular job as Norton's alternate personality, and Norton would be nothing without him. And to top it all off Bonham Carter was great. She added the darkness to the movie and made it the psychotic, thriller it is. Her character had a kind of "don't care" attitude, and it was perfect for this. I thought the shocker of a multiple personality was just a cherry on top of an exceptional movie. This movie contained darkness, desperation, and insomnia, and it was all fit exactly where it should be, right smack dab in the middle of this movie. Without its superb cast, great plot and scrip this movie would be nothing. I am glad i saw it and i will be sure to read the book. A must see!

  Don't let someone ruin the end for you

  While some may say that the ending of the Sixth Sense prvokes the most shocking and turning conclusion, I say that Fight Club beats it across the face. Brad Pitt electrifys this film as Tyler Durden, and Edward Norton establishes himself as a prime actor as he takes the role of an insominac. Must see.

  Fight Club (1999) review

  by ghostwriter9

  Mind-bending, masterfully told. Fincher at his ballsiest and Pitt/Norton at their most bad***.
