It wasn't a good movie... and it wasn't a bad movie... it defies classification.

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 1999)

Even this may be giving away too much, but any preconceptions you have about Fight Club must be left at the door. I thought it was just going to be just a bunch of punk losers duking it out for no reason whatsoever and getting crazy with it while some mystery woman smoked cigarettes in an erotic fashion. Waste of money, time, please don't make me sit though this.
My friends and I walked out of the theater totally dumbfounded by what we had just seen. My friend said it best, "That wasn't a good movie, it wasn't a bad movie... it was just f@#$ed up." And that pretty much sums up my view. It starts out as a trip through an everyman-type-of-guy's life who runs into a couple of disturbing characters. At this point, the movie begins pull away from what its commercials and ads portrayed it to be. Some people may think the movie just sucks and is totally cheesy. But if you really think about what the movie is trying to do and you don't shut it out after the movie's big plot twist, you will leave the theater... affected. It may be as benign as just scratching your head for a few seconds and then driving home. Or it my change your outlook on life. Either way, this isn't a good fight flick or a cheesy action dud, it's just... weird.
Go see it once. You've got to see it once. But you'll understand that this is something you can't go back and see again, because that would be pointless. See it with friends so you can gather around your car in the parking lot and talk about it afterwards. This is the kind of movie Fight Club is.
