2009-01-05I ordered this for my husband because he loves this movie. The price was right and it was shipped quickly.
2008-12-18allora, penso di averlo visto una decina di volte e, ogni volta, mi piace sempre di pi?! Brad Pitt ? bravissimo ma l'anima del film ? Edward Norton uno dei pi? talentusi attori in circolazione oggi. (dimenticavo, con Pitt ci doveva essere anche Norton, per il premio al miglior carattere stilato da Empire, perch? alla fine Tyler Durden ? Norton-Pitt)
2008-12-17The Bottom Line:
dispite having adquired a conciderable cult following, this movie is little more than artfully constructed eye-candy--pretty boys without shirts for the girls to enjoy, and explosions and anarchy for the boys.
2008-12-09Oh man, oh man, talk about a film that doesnt deserve all the cult like respect it gets, then let's talk about Fight Club.
Misunderstood by practicaly every mindless drone who, after watching it for the first time, went out and started their own clubs leading to severe, yet hilarious, injuries and other goings ons, what we have here is a violent nosedive by David Fincher who crafted a supreme peice of neo-noir called Seven.
The philisophy of the film is not profound nor deep, nothing penned by the hand of Chuck Palahniuk is capable of this. I know a guy, whom I respect, who likes Palahniuk but he KNOWS that he's simpley literary junk food; not everyone is hopeless, I guess.
Hey, guess what? Even non-coformists coform to rules, and mob mentality is bad and stuff, because you have total freedom but at what cost and blah blah blah, hey, great, I don't care, tell it to the 250lb meathead. Losing all hope is freedom; laughable, utterly laughable.
NOT as laughable, though, as the lauding with pride of the negative comments made by criticists in the 2 disc edition's pamplet.
Cute.
2008-12-03Sick and tired of corparate American greed, Norton's character seeks comfort in a few wierd places. He eventually meets Pitt's character on a plane ride home. Circumstance puts them together soon after and the Fight Club emerges. The end result is brininging down the system and that is a metaphor for what Norton's character goes through till the end. Add Helena Carter's character, Marla Singer, recently in the Sweeney Todd remake, and you have the dark neccessary to truely make this movie work.
Be honest with yourself, did you notice the Brad Pitt "Blips" the first time? If you said yes then you are either a LIAR or you like to expand your mind...Whether you did or not, this movie is one of the best.
This comedy is pitch black and brought to you by Director David Fincher as an adaptation of a novel by now famed writer Chuck Palahniuk. Ed Norton and Brad Pitt give a most incredable performence made sharp by the script and sweet visual effects.

| Editorial Review |
All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.
Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown
