Whiny Man, No Sanity
Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven, The Game), is a visually stunning film with an incredible beginning and a wonderful cast. Too bad the film went downhill. Based on an insanse book by a writer who never believed in paragraphs, the movie is filled with darkness, chaos, and mayhem. Edward Norton plays an unidentified narrator, who has an equally anonymous life. It's so anonymous that even he doesn't know what his life consists of. He meets a manic-depressive named Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), the greatest character of the film, who graces the screen in dollar dresses that were once worn at funerals and weddings. Then, our hero meets Tyler Durden, and the film makes a huge mistake. Tyler encompasses everything that one should not aspire to be. He's a terrorist/philosopher/maniac/megalomaniac who preaches to the X-generation, making soap and bombs and telling everyone that they are worthless and meaningless. Fincher shouldn't have taken this route, it's teenaged, unbelievable, and uninteresting. And it's a shame too. The beginning so is amazing, that if Tyler Durden were not in the film, this could have been an incredible film.
Anyway, Durden, played by Brad Pitt, convinces insecure men that they can find a zen like state by beating each other up. The idea is funny, but the reality isn't, and the film devotes an hour to this concept. Then, things get worse... as does the film. Just watch the first twenty minutes, then turn it off. Or skip through the film and watch the scenes with Marla.

Top Marks From a Tough Grader
When I feel that a film is good enough to earn three stars, that's saying something. I'm extremely picky when it comes to grading movies, and base it on several factors: plot, script, acting, directing and overall enjoyment, all of which are extremely hard to accomplish, and together almost impossible in my opinion. So here's my opinion on 'Fight Club':

Plot: Though strange, unusual and disturbing, it's incredibly original and totally away from the 'norm' that Hollywood has been forcing us to watch. 5 stars.

Script: The script is clever and makes you think, but it sarcastic to the point that 'Fight Club' is funnier than most comedies we see nowadays...in a way, that's sad, but helps the film. 5 stars.

Acting: Edward Norton does a fantasic job as "Narrator" or "Jack", and is the highlight of this film. Brad Pitt also gives a wonderful performance, but is overshadowed by Norton's. 4 stars.

Directing: David Fincher deserved an Oscar for this. It's unfortunate that his film was left in the dust because of M. Night Shymalan's 'The 6th Sense', the two very similar. 5 stars.

Overall Enjoyment: 'Fight Club' was by far one of the best movies I've ever seen, and after watching it...well...I'll be buying the DVD eventually. The extras are great, funny, and probably one of the better buys out there. 5 stars.

So all in all, 'Fight Club' is a great movie and is worth the two hours you put into watching it.

My opinion: 4.5 stars at least.
