Rating:

"The first rule about Fight Club is..."

I LOVE this movie. I love Palahniuk in general. I saw the movie several times before reading the book but I loved the book equally as much. It was pretty awesome how they didn't change too much between the book and the movie. Both the book and movie contain tons of awesome quotes including my favorites:

"It is only after we have lost everything that we are free to do anything."
~Chuck (Fight Club)

"Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing."
~Chuck (Fight Club)

I have seen the book in bookstores, but I never bothered to read it. I am glad to hear someone likes the book as much as the movie. This is rare. I also love the thought provoking quotes. This movie is by far one of the best.

The ultimate man charged club needs to find reality

Pros: great scripting, excellent acting, awesome plot Cons: there isn't a sequel The Bottom Line: If you are a man and you haven't seen Fight Club, you aren't much of a man. Get to the video store and pick this up! Plot Details: This opinion reveals everything about the movie''s plot. For most men there is a serious rush of pleasure and excitement that comes from an adrenaline charged situation. We live … more

I am Jack's carpel tunnel.

FIGHT CLUB Written by Directed by David Fincher Starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter Editor's Note: They say the first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about Fight Club. I'm actually pretty certain that this is also the second rule of Fight Club. I am breaking both of these rules in this piece but, to be fair, I'm not a card-carrying member of Fight Club so I don't think I have to abide … more

I say never be complete. I say stop being perfect. I say let's evolve - Fight Club

Fight Club - 1999 If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this is useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told … more

I want you to hit me as hard as you can.

Who is edward norton. That is a question youll be asking yourself the whole time your watching this movie. The story follows a man named Edward norton as he goes from a inspection person for the auto industry to the leader of a fight club. And during this he gets caught up with a drug using girlfriend, a man who works as a projectionist at a theatre with a fondness for splicing porn into the movies. It messes with your mind, forces you to think, and then blows what you thought you knew to pieces. … more

better than you'd expect, inventive and more subversive than anything. Not repulsively violent either, title notwithstanding.

Not the best movie to watch, but a nice mix of fighting and such to make the movie interesting.

About this movie

Wiki

FIGHT CLUB is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, or "tourist," the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character--the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy.

Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher?s FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and gleefully mischievous as it skewers...
