Fight Club

The movie itself is a fight club.

Rule #1 about fight club, don't talk about fight club.Ok, I won't."Fight Club" delivers ALMOST from what a movie called "Fight Club" should deliver.It's also similar to it's basic premise.Sitting through this movie, I felt like I was actually in a fight club.I saw plenty of fist fights, plenty of blood, and plenty of brutality.If I was an actual fighter in a fight club, I would probably feel exactly what I felt once the end credits rolled, depressed.There was nothing that I could relate to in this movie.There are a lot of famous actors in "Fight Club" , but none of them entertained me.It's sad how Edward Norton is the main character and yet I didn't like him.He gave an Oscar-worthy performance in "American History X", but in "Fight Club"? Get real! None of the actors could save the film from it's sloppy script.Not Edward Norton, not Helena Bonham Carter, and who gives a crap about Brad Pitt nowadays? It's just terrible to know that a movie that has a great premise turns out to be bad! What could sound more viciously entertaining than 2 people who start a club that helps men release violent aggresion against one another? That's a great premise! Sadly, the story gets too convulated and complicated as it goes on, especially in the 3rd act.It's called "Fight Club"! Why make it so difficult? All I wanted was fighting, and the movie even failed to deliver enough fighting to be deserved to be called "Fight Club".To make matters even worse, "Fight Club" has one of the most stupidest twists I've ever seen in a movie.I won't spoil anything for you, but it's a twist that deserves to be in a movie revolved around a crazy person who, I dunno, is allowed to go free from a mental hospital.What I wanted more than ever from this movie was a film that took itself seriously.The movie was directed by the same guy who made "The Social Network", so I was expecting a film that would be straight-forward.It didn't have to be as serious as the Facebook movie, but at least don't make it feel so campy and witty.David Fincher, I'm sory, but you are not the greatest director of our time.You crapped on the alien franchise with "Alien 3" and you make matters worse for the fighting genre with "Fight Club".My respect for you is gone.

Uninteresting characters, a messy storyline, a terrible twist, and an ending that leaves you with a feeling of "WTF was that?", "Fight Club" should've been a better movie.I hated it, I don't want to remember it, I'm going back to brilliant movies like "The Social Network".I'm sorry if you disagrree with this review, but I stand by my opinion.To end this review with three words: F*ck this movie.

Grade: Barely a C-
