One of the most bashed GOOD movies of the 90s

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2000)

I saw Fight Club opening night without wanting to go see it. A friend of mine pressured me to go with him so I did. When we were in the theater I was complaining about how bad this movie was going to be, mainly because these types of movies are not my taste. By the time the movie was over I was left speechless. The first thing that came to my mind was that from now on I was going to see every movie directed by David Fincher.
Fight Club is filled with so much energy its not even funny. It makes the audience want to be in the movie. The direction is absolute perfection. Fincher certainly has an eye for cinematography. Everything is composed so beautifully, with the help of computer generated graphics it makes the film seem even darker and more impressive.
Ed Norton has never been better as an actor. His performance as an insomniac is pure perfection. I'm positive enough to say that he will never be as good as he was in this film. Helena Bonham Carter is as usual, beautiful. In Fight Club it comes to show how the power of makeup can change a person's appearance. To many people her look may seem repulsive, but I think she looks attractive despite her role, I dug it. All I can say is that without her Fight Club isn't the same. Brad Pitt is a macho guy who is pretty much Ed Norton's character alter ego. I can't really comment on him, don't like the guy that's all.
All I can really say is that Fight Club is quite possibly one of the most energetic and memorable movies of the 1990s. Everything an entertaining movie needs is right here. Looking for a good time, look no further. Unfortunately this wasn't nominated for any Academy Awards which it truly deserved. If you ask me, Fight Club can kick American Beauty's ass any day! Like every other person out there, I thought the Academy Award nominees for the 99-year movies were terrible. Fight Club was the best picture of 1999
