truly awful

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2000)

I wrote a review for Fight Club earlier, but then I was emailed by someone who said to see it again with a more open mind. So I did, but I just couldn't take it anymore. Like someone said before, just realizing that you're doing something bad makes it okay? And, Ikea catalog to fight club-i'll take the catalog, because if anything I will get more from that than fighting for no apparent reason. Sure, they're journeying for self-discovery, but how does that excuse them from it? People don't realize, that you don't (gasp) have to sink this low. This is not a movie-this is a statement by the evil lords below us saying to dump everything you own and fight, and you will be closer to discovery. This is truly awful cinema, so rotten I wonder how any studio in their right mind would pick it up. It's too preachy, cynical, and just downright offensive and stupid. Please, before you make this movie 3 dollars richer by renting it, reconsider. You can get the same message (is there even a message in this trash) by inviting your friends over to IKEA and fighting publicly. Hmm, not so smart is it? I gave it a generous 3 I think, (earlier) but now even the first 30 minutes don't interest me. Wanna stupid, pointless movie? Fight Club is right down your alley. 1/10
