My mind is still blows

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 1999)

The general complaint about Fight Club is how the plot twist, which to some was genius but to others pointless, lead to a banal ending. I disagree. Like Sixth Sense or The Usual Suspects, when a movie is so good or so excellent that anything else would be a let down, Fight Club uses a twist that really doesn't have to do much with the movie. Yes, it does put things into a new and limited perspective, but it is still a great surprise and a wonderful jolt for the audience. I found that the last scene of the movie could have been developed more realistically, and I am actually disappointed in Fincher for once for blowing the chance to make one of the most ironic endings in film history.
Fight Club is a 2 and a half hour comedy. You will find yourself laughing more at the satire of this film then for it's action subplot. Like The Matrix and Run Lola Run, Fight Club is a new breed of movie meant to blow your mind and trigger ALL your senses for as long as a movie can possibly do. To the cynical eye, The Matrix, Run Lola Run, and Fight Club all had their disappointing moments, but to the faithful filmgoer, Fight Club is a treat not soon forgotten.
