Overall I was impressed with Fight Club - it wasa very well written movie and raised alot of interesting points.
As good as it was though I still think the ending could have been better.For starters the plot twist was fairly predictable/ cliche andI don't think it fully capitalized on the momentum it had built up.Suddenly making Tyler Durden to be the bad guy was a poor decision I think - especially after all the progress he had made up until that point. As it was the ending just felt sort of senseless - like it was lacking in some way.
Still it was an ok ending - I can live with the fact that FC wasn't perfect.
I think that Fight Club is largely divisive because it is so widely misinterpreted.
Sort of like how when Beavis and Butthead gets criticized for the dumbing down of teens, when that's the exact same ****ing thing that the show is trying to comment on.
In any case, I love Fight Club.

Geezer couldn't be any more right!
Oh wait--
Again, let me reference Beavis and Butthead.
A LOT of total ****ing idiots thought that Beavis and Butthead were cool guys, which is SOLELY because those are the exact same kinds of people who were too stupid to realize that the show was mocking people like them.
Fight Club consisted of a bunch of ****ing losers, and the people who think that the fighting was "cool" completely missed the point.

I don't see it as an attack on consumerism at all. Tyler Durden was the one spouting that anti-consumerism crap, and Tyler Durden is revealed to be a villain who is full of ****. Tyler Durden addresses his followers as snotty little crybaby man-children, and that's EXACTLY what they are. If anything, I think that the movie is a comment on blindly following of bull**** ideologies.
MrGeezer
Hm, I stand corrected. NOW, he couldn't be any more right.
Good thing we have opinions I love Fight Club lolXD4NTESINF3RNOX
That's right, I was blown away when I say the movie!
I found it fairly Ho Hum. Decent, just nothing to write home about. I enjoyed it most because of Norton who i have a longstanding man crush on.
The beginning was rather intriguing but it goes down hill with its juvenile rebellion.Jazz_FanThey're a bit too old to be called juvenile.
I didn't get it.
Memento was released around the same time, and was WAY better.

Haven't watched Fight Club, but have watched Memento. That's a damn good movie!
I find that a bit insulting that because you didn't like it suddenly it has crazy fans who don't know what they're talking about. C'mon.I didn't care for it, but like some cult movies like A Clockwork Orange a lot of its crazy fans misinterpret what it's saying.

:lol: I couldn't help but nod at all of thisI didn't care for it, but like some cult movies like A Clockwork Orange a lot of its crazy fans misinterpret what it's saying.
I find that a bit insulting that because you didn't like it suddenly it has crazy fans who don't know what they're talking about. C'mon. That's not what I said, I find that the cult fan aspect of this and many films seem to love the film for all the wrong reasons. I was not saying it's like that with all fans of the film...Please Log In to post.
