Surprisingly Great Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 1999)

I went into this movie thinking that it would be good for the sole purpose of my demeaning remarks and my pointing out of its flaws(what can I say, I have fun with bad movies). I mean, look at the title, could it be any less creative? As it turns out, I was dead wrong. Fight Club is the best movie I have seen in quite a long time.
After seeing the movie, I looked for reviews and continually found people who did not like the plot twist at the end. I personally think that it was the best part. The first half of the movie for me seemed to be long winded and not really going anywhere. The story didn't really come alive until the twist was revealed. Once that happened, it made you think of all that happened in the first part that you may not have picked up on or saw differently before. This made the whole movie experience exponentially more interesting.
Maybe I liked this movie because I like the kind of plot twist/unforeseen ending that I first saw in movies like The Usual Suspects (my favorite movie). Now, the absolute ending was a bit implausible, but it did not in any way detract from the whole. The ending cinematic was great and the plot twist, totally unexpected, made the movie what it is: The best of the year. Otherwise it would just be a bunch of guys beating the **** out of each other.
