If it were possible to reexperience one film for the first time, I'd choose this. In terms of style Fincher is obviously peerless. The fusion of his edginess and wry humor with Pahlaniuk's discerning social commentary is dangerously perfect. Norton is utterly brilliant (beating himself up routine, voice-over) and - once you've gotten over the most knockout-awesome use of unreliable narration ever - the quality of his performance adds poignancy to what underneath all the attitude is a love story.

Great movie. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are both superb. The style is fantastic and the dialog is immersive. All of this, combined with a quite powerful message, make for a great film. Of course there is quite a bit of violence and hilarious dark humor throughout, so it's not for everyone.

Bunken | 100 99th |

Chuck Palahniuks brilliant novel is brought to life by a tour de force of directing and acting. I've seen this film more than 30 times and it still amazes me. The dialogue, the plot and how both Palahniuk and Fincher hits the nail on the head with their description of the Y2K man and all the existentialistic questions that he fights with. If you haven't seen it, see it and then see it again. Oh.... And read the book...

Panders to a sense of male outrage about the feminization of the workplace and diminishment of male privilege, then pulls the rug out from under those most receptive to that message to reveal the arrested development, sociopathy and conformist conservatism that drive it. In paralleling materialism with identification with Tyler Durden -- the personification of a hyper-masculinity manufactured wholly by the media -- Fight Club implicitly criticizes those who hold him up as some sort of prophet.
|

Moribunny | 30 15th |
|
The makers of Fight Club can sure market a product to the angst-ridden anti-establishment crowd: The non-conformists swallow up Fight Club like the well-disciplined herd that they are. Actually the package contains nary a trace of the effective social commentary you might expect, the bulk amounting to misanthropic, skinheaded fascism.

Some of those who like this movie argue that the ending, revealing that the film was ironic all along, redeems the whole thing and transforms the politics from a kind of anti-consumption, masculinist neo-fascism into a critique thereof. Nevertheless, one still has to sit through the bulk of the film to get to this ending, and I can't see who this would appeal to other than those who, self-critically or not, are attracted to this kind of unpleasantness. I'm not one of those type of people.

A fast-paced, violent and very well edited comentary on modern-day society. Pitt and Norton both deliver one of their best performances. The dialogues and the narrating are superb and sometimes need a re-watch to be fully understood. A dark, funny and very cool Masterpiece.

If you were to tell someone in 1999 that this movie would be considered a classic, they would've laughed at you. But here we sit, almost 10 years later, and this movie is a adored by most everyone. And with good reason. It's got an excellent story, acting, and the pace never really lets up. Nevermind the hype, this is indeed a great experience.

I enjoy the philosophy of: "a film gets better after repeated viewing". Fight Club is no exception to this. At first I thought Andrew Kevin Walker had written the script since the character of Se7en and this one share the same despairing view of the world and its inhabitants; This is the superior film in my opinion: controversial, daring, funny and consistently engrossing. I doubt Fincher will surpass himself in the future.

Hyperstylized and frantic but manages to never overreach. It doesn't slow down for a minute but tells its story with such clarity that it manages to never become confusing or feel rushed. Great action and a dark sense of humor from start to finish. A really impressive accomplishment from Fincher.

Even when you look past its hyper-macho posturing, it's little more than a facile, liberal critique of consumerism which lacks the chutzpah to go for the jugular. The film is so worried about Ikea end-tables and underwear ads that it doesn't even mention class, which is a sign that your little "anti-capitalist" movie stinks. The best part is when Durden assaults a worker and threatens to kill him unless he "bootstraps" his way out of the social relationship that is capitalism. That's so Raven.

TonythePony | 92 95th |

Sure, it doesn't contain a world changing philosophy, just a seductive anti-consumerist diatribe delivered in slick sound bites. Good enough. The dark wit, sharp performances and sleek direction enthrall, while the plot weaves towards a waiting cliff. In Fight Club Fincher has created a spectacular mindfuck of an experience that will stand the test of time.

The quintessential post modern movie: perfectly realized aesthetically, structure- and cast-wise, while in the funniest, most stylized, dirtiest and surprising ways capturing something poignant about masculine fear, primal urges and the consumer society we live in. World's best satire next to Dr. Strangelove.

Superb acting, great direction a fun ride and the film raises important issues. Those issues could be handled in a somewhat more complete way but it's all there for the viewer to decipher and the film is about discovering your own path rather than blindly following another's dictates anyway.

I'm completely obsessed with this movie. I rented it, watched it twice, bought and read the book, bought the DVD, watched it again and again... It's absolutely disturbing, but not in an usual way. It is very well structured, and sometimes funny, too. There is no other movie like it. This movie is the worst thing that ever happened to me.

David Fincher directs this stylish and savagely funny social satire adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's novel that examines an unhealhty obession with mass consumerism and the venting of male aggression. Pitt and Norton give unforgettable performances. Flawless in almost every regard, definately one of the best of the 90's.

This story of an insomniac's other personality creates many mind boggling situations that make the viewer question their life. While the movie is called FIGHT Club and yes does have a fair amount of violence in it, the film was clearly produced to beg a question about life; do we matter? The character played by Brad Pitt (Tyler Durdan) does a fantastic job of leading this so fight club and later on criminal tasks called project mayhem used to set the real world straight.

There have been a lot of movies that helped shape and mold my movie tastes, but Fight Club is the one movie I can say actually got me into film. It came along at just the right time in my life; when I was beginning to search for interesting movies that would develop my taste. Fight Club was the most stylistically intriguing movie I had seen at the time. I was just floored. No, it's not as great as I used to think, but it will always be the movie to which I owe credit for my love of movies.

A favorite among "the youths" as I like to call them (I'm 300 years old). Maybe I'd like this better if its fanboys hadn't ruined it for me, but really, the older I get, the more tiresome "Fight Club" and its cult of pseudo-intellectual geek boys becomes.

A very gritty and gruesome film with a strong cast, executed with ultimate coolness and in-your-face -attitude. One of my all-time favourites to which I have returned to many times after the first viewing. You are not your number of films rated on Criticker.

An OK movie that's been tainted by its legion of numbskull superfans. Undeniably well-acted and directed, but not nearly as deep or profound as it (or its rabid fanbase) thinks it is.

BattleToad | 97 98th |

This dark comedy-action-thriller-drama is one of the best films to come out of the 90's if not the entire 20th century. Fight Club is the ultimate mind-bending movie trip that stays good no matter how many times you let it chew you up and spit you out. Awesome!

Anomaly | 83 81st |
|
A very well directed, brilliantly acted and often times very funny satire. Unfortunately, it stylizes and glorifies the fight scenes, which somewhat undermines it's own message that Durden's extreme is not to be admired, making it easier for people to love it for all the wrong reasons. Still good, in spite of its fan club.

Obdurate | 100 99th |

Yeah, maybe people will see that I gave it a 100 and think that it doesn't deserve it but I still think it deserves the credit it got before the backlash (and the anti-backlash... and the anti-anti backlash...). It's gripping, biting satire. It's funny, intelligent and there's great direction from Fincher. So sue me, it remains in the top 10 for me even though I've seen tons of other movies.

"We've had no great war - no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war - our great depression is our lives." This is the most important movie of my generation, which helps explain why it's largely ignored.

If you've ever questioned your own life, authority, materialism, or society in general, then you should see this movie. If you haven't done any of those, skip the movie and go out and do at least 3.

David Fincher's materpiece about chaos, subversion and society, and certainly one of the coolest movies ever made. Need I say more?

Entire college-level courses could be taught based on this unforgettable slice of cinema; both on the subject of film and in men's studies. There is so much going on and it merits repeat viewings. Fincher will likely never create another masterpiece so influential, or so discussed. Edward Norton is as perfect as an actor can be and this finally made it OK for guys to love Brad Pitt. It's violent and very dark, but the dialogue and existential criticism is brilliant. And that ending: Magnificent.

Just a great time. I've probably watched it 15 times and read the book 5 times and absolutely love both. Pitt makes a great Durden, and Norton an even better narrator. Everything is near perfect.

Everyone says this is simply about fighting, but really there is a lot more too it then that. It is anti corporation, it is about one man needing to find away to vent his agression and ultimately giving others the chance to do the same. Pitt and Norton are perfection and Bonham Carter falls in right behind them with a beautiful and captivating performance of her own

I can never get over the fact that those bozos walked out of that bar, saw Ed Norton punching himself in the face and said, 'That looks really cool, I want to do that too!'

"It's only after we've lost everything we're free to do anything." It doesn't only regard consumerism and capitalism. It regards the decline of our times, the pathetic, self-pitiful decay of the century that has turned people into robots, communication into cyber-independent dealings and rendered the purpose of life worthless. A beautiful concept that paints the tragedy of our times, the pornographic easiness of our drab daily lives and the ultimate call for a freedom we shall never possess.

The first rule of Fight Club is that if you think it's insightful, please think a bit harder. But I can't completely hate it. While the middle-school I-don't-know-what-anarchism-actually-is fantasy bogs things down completely, the scenes of Ed Norton and Brad Pitt or Norton and Bonham Carter just interacting, playing off each other, are straight-up FUN. And everything after [SPOILERS] he discovers he's become a B-list Batman villain (Tyler-Face!) is way more interesting than what's come before.

Absolute masterpiece. This is simply the greatest movie I have ever seen. It is so well made and has very much depth to it. It is very deep and may take a while to grow on you, but once it does it's truly an amazing movie experience. The twist near the end will blow your mind. Be prepared for something big when watching this. It gets better and better everytime, you will always catch something new. Too amazing for words

A dark, visceral, funny, and sickeningly preachy movie. Despite its numerous strengths, including grotesque visuals and a sharp wit (the narration is fantastic), it unfortunately suffers from the glaring flaw of pretension, of wanting so desperately to be about something, to have a message. Its anti-materialist consumerism critique is noble enough, but it comes by its conclusions with naive and dubious morality. Oh well, it's still pretty fun to watch.

Now Fight Club is not a bad film by any means, but the extremely massive cult following this film has is ridiculous. Sure the story is good, and the acting from Pitt and Norton were good, but I could spot that twist from a mile away, to me it was kind of obvious. Fincher's direction is quite good, but I believe that Seven is the better film.

A review of this movie is almost moot at this point: if you haven't seen it you're probably doing it on-purpose. Easily one of the best movies ever made and worth the top spot on my list.

One of those rare cases when a movie is on-par with the book, and heck, it may even be better. Don't get me wrong, I love Palahniuk's work, but the movie captures the energy and isolation that the book sort of missed. I do wish however that Uhls would have made Marla's character more of a romantic interest than a sexual one (as she was in the book), but this is still one of my favorite adaptations ever.

A movie about life's lowest points, about hitting rock bottom with nothing left but resentment for one's creators. An exploration of a universe that exists only in industrial alleyways, parking garages and the basements of bars. A glamorization of self destruction, a cold examination of consumer culture and a celebration of male bonding through violence set to a breakbeat soundtrack. This could have been the worst movie ever made, but directed as a comedy, it was one of the best.

Fight Club is just so perfectly made I cannot name a single flaw in the whole movie, including acting, directing, scripting, camera work, music. And one of the best endings I have ever seen in a movie; probably, because I was overwhelmed with the moments that preceded it. Probably the only movie I have seen which is better than the book it is based on. And the book is great.

Showy, but not stylish, smartass, but not smart, ambitious, but ultimately hollow. "Fight Club" is interesting but, at the end of the day, too tongue-in-cheek for its own good. It tries to make a comment on a serious subject matter and simultaneously inject it with black humor but it ends up ideologically confused and the jokes are half-baked and fall flat. It is entertaining, there's no denying that, but definitely not as edgy or sophisticated as it intended to be.

FIGHT CLUB may be a satire on our society, it may be an anarchistic (or fascistic) manifesto; I haven't quite decided. What I have decided is that it is a great film. It features Brad Pitt, a fine actor, at his best, and Edward Norton, a frequently annoying actor, at HIS best. The script is coldly hilarious, and in tandem with David Fincher's brilliant direction, plunges the audience into a world that is both fearsome and exhilarating. It's a long film, but it's absolutely worth every second.

It's odd that this satiric commentary on white male stature & violence ended up being embraced by Film Bros. Scenes like the IKEA apartment explosion hit the right notes--making it Gen-X's version of The Graduate. But it loses its way as it goes on and becomes sophomoric, as if it were appealing to the audience's dumbest teen boys. Still, David Fincher bravely made a movie with a keen visual look, a great soundtrack, and a funny ending. Marginal recommendation, even if it hasn't aged well.

Fight Club has a big big big problem. It should criticize the ideology spread by Tayler as much as the book does, but watching the movie you feel connected with populist ideas and you surprise yourself cheering for the destruction of financial buildings. So 84 is all because Fincher technical work: it could have been way higher in case of a better work passing the correct message

Fincher's directing is simply awesome in "Fight Club" and is the only reason I watched it twice. The stylish way he uses camera and the occasional CGI is highly original, highly influential and very, very clever. The trouble I have with "Fight Club" is the storyline (once "Project Mayhem" is mentioned for the first time, it goes rapidly downhill) and the whole "message" of the film that is, unfortunately, far too banal. Well worth watching from a technical point of view, though.

I'm obviously in the minority, but I thought it was stupid. They'd have me entertained for a second, then Meat Loaf had breasts or they'd yell HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON and they'd lose me again. I understood the symbolism stuff they were going for, but there's certainly a better way to do it in film to make it more believable and entertaining. Oh, and this is yet another movie where I'm underwhelmed by Ed Norton.

The most compelling thing about Fight Club -- and there aren't many compelling things about this movie -- is Brad Pitt's extraordinary physique. I mean, goddamn. Also, I know this is satire, but in order to get "the message", you have to follow it through to the very end, which means enduring about 2 hours of neo-fascist badboys pretending to be badasses, only for it to wink at the audience in the final moments. Not really my thing.

Brilliant mind-bending fun as only David Fincher could deliver. "Fight Club" will always be remembered as a small box-office sleeper that emerged to be a massive cult favorite, and for good reason. Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and the cool-as-hell storyline make the rewatchability factor insurmountable.

SPOILER:Maybe it is genial on the movie-everybody likes it from different reason. Even primitive fascists love it as cult movie.I do not understand why so many people take it as if it portraits real events. IMHO:Almost everything shown in the movie happened in the head of schizofrenic man. As Tyler Durden was his "negative to ego", Marla was his "female part")- or shadow and anima in jungian terminology. All the fight is just masochism. And all the "social movement" happened just in his head...

Does he have schizophrenia? If so, that's not what that is. Does he have Dissociative Identity Disorder? Because that's not what that is either. It's just an anarchic and violent film that seems to appeal to wayward souls disillusioned by modern society. But it's poorly written, and it never justifies the dissent into fight club nor does it really focus on the consequences. Utterly horrible, and I know I stand apart from many who like this film.

Don't get me wrong, it's a very excellent and introspective movie. Where it gets problematic is the early glorification of what they're doing. It only takes a competent human being to understand what the movie is really trying to say, but a lot of people got this one wrong, which leads me to believe that Fincher may have wanted to handle it in a not-so-hip way.

Fight Club is a timeless classic about an average male tired with his job and the way society is. Now many a weeabo will say they adore this movie but they are just fags. This is where it's at. Edward Norton is the greatest actor of our time and Brad Pitt is a bad ass. Combine with an awesome story and an even awesomer script and you have just created truly epicness.

I didn't like this as much as some viewers obviously did, for it's easy to find it on several peoples' "Top 10 of all time" lists. Make no mistake--it was a good film and was intriguing. But it also features gratuitous violence (as the title warns you of) and shallow supporting characters. Therefore it's definitely not for everyone.

Yes! This is great film-making - captivating atmosphere, great cast, riveting pacing - with a message. While not necessarily profound, it does always have a little more to say than one feels one can take in in a single sitting. Still relevant 20 years later - and doesn't get any less interesting for knowing the ending. Wish more mainstream filmmaking was this way!

A bicephalic cult leader and his army of blinkered masochistic robots blow up some credit card headquarters. I'm esp. annoyed by the premise that people need to be brainwashed to wreak such sensible havoc. Also, whatever this daffy flick is trying to say about "masculinity" is totally beyond me. Mildly worth watching for Edward Norton.

Fight Club is not really a film about guys beating the shit out of one another. It's more an examination of the unhealthy obsession people have with mass consumerism and deficit spending, mixed healthily with a dose of dualistic realities and a damning view of the American way of life. It's sarcastic, brutal, and funny... but it's all true. It remains one of the seminal moments in movie history for me. My eyes opened a bit wider in the world because of it, and it is a nearly perfect film.

Probably the only movie equal to and/or better than the book it was based on. The book was a little too into the whole anarchy thing, the movie was just guys and awesomeness. I probably would have only given it a 90 or something on my first watch, but it gets better with each one. Awesome...

Nihilism for dummies. Everything from the removal of total fear and macabre humor, to the "premature enlightenment" of a superman. Although the film is exceptionally well-crafted and directed with gritty realism at the hands of Fincher, his appetite for destruction and disintegration is rather burdensome. Laughably, all these cult fans neither realize nor know that this film is a representation of man's aggression as a twisted nature of power and resentment in the form of sadomasochist behavior.

This is purely one of the best movies ever made, tapping into anti consummerism, lack of direction and anti-establsihment feelings of a generation of young men (and doubt some women too); extremely faithfull to Chuck Palienuiks novel and has David Fincher's unique style stamped all over it.

One of my favorite movies of all time based on a book by one of my favorite authors, starring some of my favorite actors.

Self-conscious layers don't win me (not just the 4th wall, but its constant irony towards a so called Statement Against Society, from which it can't escape). "Subversive" call to action is what internet trolls and incels do these days, despite the parody of amateur fascism and toxic masculinity. Fincher's directing remains wondrous - film is perfect ad of itself -- and elevates the book's shallow angry macho silliness. 2nd half not nearly as funny or satirically effective as the 1st.

It is impossible to take seriously the film's sadomasochistic posturing, its insistence that inflicting and suffering pain is redemptive; but as a blackly comic updating of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", a sick fantasy of a man in two minds, it has its moments.

The Hypocrisy Club is about fighting the consumerist brainwashing with the brainwashing of its own. Yo yo, starbucks and ikea is bad, but violence and vandalism is cool, you are not things you own but people you beat. And so it is a pity as the acting is schizophrenically on point, scenes are strong in colour and feeling, dialogs expose neverending faults of our system and then the end is unimaginative and the message is imbecile at best. Should have been a secret society of knitting instead.

A lot of different opinions on this movie. In my opinion this movie depicts the generation perfectly, not only is this a great movie, but there are so many things to be extracted from this one. Brad Pitt probably has some of the best lines I've ever heard.

I just can't justify giving Fight Club less than a 100, even though it seems 100 should be reserved for like the top 10 movies ever made. But when it comes down to it, there is NOTHING to deduct points on. It's a unique concept, a brilliant script, superbly acted, beautifully shot, even wardrobe kicked-ass... this movie is just great in every way. The only thing you could probably say against it, is it wasn't marketed properly. Almost no one got, from the trailers, the genius of this movie.

Fight Club is definitely well-made and briskly paced, but when you've made up your mind about Tyler Durden - as I did on previous watches - listening to his witticisms and watching him beat people up becomes rather dull.

How this movie is dated: the idea that multi-billion-dollar credit card companies would store ALL their customer information in a single building. Get real, imaginary friend living inside Edward Norton's skull!

A modern classic, Fight Club presages the dislocation and existential angst of the 21st century flawlessly.
Career-topping performances by the leads, incredible dialogue and an amazingly satisfying realization of Chuck Palahniuk's vision elevate Fight Club from film to cultural milestone.

What can I say about "Fight Club" that hasn't already been said? It's terrific! Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter and Brad Pitt are perfect!

I fall for this movie and David Fincher's dumb stylistic flourishes. It's another clinical and dark Fincher thriller but the electronic score, the offputting violence and jarring humor, it all works and makes Chuck Palahniuk bearable. Well done.

Almost gave this a much lower score. I don't dislike this movie, but I've always disagreed with (and been a little annoyed by) the kind of awed praise it manages to get from some people. It manages to pull off a trick that can never be pulled again, and it's impressive for that. It's very stylish, like you'd expect from Fincher. But it also revolves around trite commentary on modern 20-something masculinity, which means it loses some charm if you aren't testosterone-flush and 16 years old.

The best movie ever made for people who are easily convinced that something is profound only by means of it being presented as such.
What I mean is: if you're most teenagers, or a stoner, this is gonna be a life changer!
Also, if you prefer style over substance, pick this sucker UPP!!

David Fincher shines in cinematic brilliance. He takes Palahniuk's Fight Club and turns it into a movie that breaks the mold of what's "normal" and pushes itself into that next category of movie: the iconic. The acting is superb, with Brad Pitt giving one of his best performances alongside a shockingly real Helena Bonham Carter. This goes without mentioning Edward Norton. He truly brings the entire film together, giving a believable connection to an unbelievable story.

I can't really take Fight Club as any more than an average thriller. The overly-masculine angsty dialogue and themes annoy the hell out of me because they take me back to High School. The supposed satire comes through poorly because the movie's so tame and glamorized, and it doesn't suggest any alternative to Tyler's aggressive outlet. It's not entirely the fault of the viewers that it's often misread. There's so much hypocrisy in and about Fight Club that it never makes a potent statement.

I always struggle with putting this at tier 9 or 10, but truly this is one of the greatest movies of all time. Pitt and Norton in their prime with a most interesting way of story telling and crazy good direction to the point where you might as well watch it 3 or 4 times, just so you can make sure you saw what you saw.

It's thought-provoking and lays claim to some excellent acting. But I think it's impersonal - the protagonist isn't characterized much beyond the rebellion the plot focuses on. It's made difficult to see the various characters as people to be sympathized with even though the concept they fight against is a common modern struggle. Instead they tend to be animalistic, violent psychopaths without rational justification for the enormity of their actions.

While I had strong suspicion of the twist going into it, and as such was unable to enjoy a few scenes as if I were blissfully unaware, I loved this. There’s a reason Fincher is one of my favorite directors. The pros? Great directing, superb script with solid humor, consistent pacing with a lot of energy, and great performances. Pitt is enjoyable in his role, and Norton is great as usual. I’d love to wipe my mind of this and experience it truly blind.

This is a film that will see love for it rise and fall depending on how edgy and dark society is feeling at the moment. In 1999 this was a hard swerve against the current culture. In 2021 its a bit more relevant and poignant. Maybe in 2033 it'll be dark and unbearable.

There is a lot to like here as David Fincher really knows how to put a movie together from every aspect. I love the tone and Norton and Pitt are both great. This one just goes on a little too long and loses both the tone and some of the ideas that the first two-thirds presents. A relatively weak ending can't undo an otherwise great movie though.

In a sense the movie doesn't go far enough with either its plot or its social criticism - this is especially true of the last half hour. It's very impressive nonetheless. Also, as is often the case, it's good in spite of its fandom.

Some may argue that Fight Club has aged itself out, that its message of anti-establishment, anti-consumerism, and hyper-masculinity are too enticing to have any real impact on the viewer. Too attractive for its own good. I think those criticisms miss the point. It's supposed to be intoxicating and alluring. You, dear viewer, are meant to want to rise up, join the fight club, and feel guilty as hell that you fell for the trap.

Irreverent, disturbing, and full of intrigue, this movie takes you places you don't expect as you go on a wild ride and end up questioning everything you think you might know. The ending could have been stronger. But the story was unique and a classic all the same.

Fight Club really pulls you in from the start with its unique storytelling and clever exploration of modern masculinity. We all love the twist, and all the hints and other details leading up to it. And the ending is truly legendary with 'Where is my mind?' --- "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything."
