Worst ending ever..

Rating: 1/10 (7 November 1999)

Two great movies, in my opinion, are `The Game' and `Seven'-- Both directed by David Fincher. So, obviously, I went into `Fight Club' wanting to love it. And I did. Well, the first half, anyway. From there on, it went straight downhill into just another Hollywood-produced uncreative clone-movie. I could go in and pin-point the exact frame where the film turns from an intriguing, smart drama into an unimaginitive hybrid of two of the worst movies that I've seen: `The Matrix' and `Dark City'.
All three of these movies seem to have a common `new-age' theme. They all convey the message, `The individual can do anything, and as long as they don 't seek aid from an outside source, their power is limitless.' Maybe these Anti-Establishment / Anti-Religion ideals are just a faze in modern media, but it could also be the direction the industry will be heading in the future.
As for `Fight Club' on its own, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton play their parts well, and the movie does have some redeeming elements, but overall I can't recommend it. But, don't let that dissuade you from seeing the movie-- I'd never say, `Don't see this movie'. You should always see the movie to have an opinion of your own. Just watch this one with your eyes open.
