Predictable, Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2010)

I just watched the movie today only for the reason it is rated #16 in IMDb Top 250. Before watching I had no idea what the movie is all about, even I did not know the cast. I just knew the name and nothing else, not even the genre. After watching the rating, I downloaded the movie with some expectation to be something very good. But I was disappointed. It had nothing special. Even before the midway of the movie I suspected and predicted that the character Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) is made up by Edward Norton. In the end my assumption came true. It was Edward Norton all the way who was the psycho. Maybe watching "Secret Window", "The Machinist", "American Psycho" gave me the drive to predict about the story. Yes, this movie was released before those three, but I watched those before. As an entertaining movie, it is OK, good. But it has nothing to be rated as #16 in Top 250. I feel this movie is very much overrated like "Pulp Fiction" (Which is the most overrated film in the history). I haven't found anything to call it a special movie, or this is nothing that I would like to watch it again. This movie is a one time show, do not expect it to be something special or classic. I just don't know why the psycho movies are so popular in USA.
