Ignoring the obvious

Rating: 4/10 (16 March 2018)

Everyone loves this film. I can see why, the first time I watched it I thought I loved it, but everytime I watch it, it gets significantly worse. Ok, the twist is stupid, spoilers they are the same person but that doesn't make sense because in the rest of the film they have conversations in public with people around them but it's just one guy talking to himself . I would understand it if people looked strangely at them as it would show something was up but they don't it's just lazy, not much smart is done to set up the twist yeah they do that whole thing that Tyler durden says to not talk to Marla about him but that's it the twist just happens and makes no sense, then he shoots himself in the cheek which kills Tyler. COME ON! That makes no sense why couldn't he just die. Ok I quite like the message but it is made redundant when the film has whorish product placement that just undermines the whole message. I don't like the fact that the film starts with the most interesting part, I find that a bit lazy. Helena Bonham Carter horribly overacts. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are fine nothing special and David Fincher does a good job directing, i like the tone and colour palette. I think the film looks nice. However the more I think about all the dumb shit and the dull monologue it just gets worse and worse
