Mischief, Mayhem and Soap, but did it really need to be 2 and a half hours?

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 1999)

Going into Fight Club, I knew it was going to be long, and I knew it would be a sensory overload type of experience. But you cannot tell me that David Fincher was looking to give the audience a messed up and chaotic experience simply because he thought it would be cool or different. Sadly, this IS what Fincher is thinking and to tell you the truth, it severely cripples the movie.
This movie is interesting but not in a good way. It goes a little too deep for a movie that's about guys looking to change their life by kicking each other's ass on a weekly basis. And what did SOAP and liposuction have to do with the real plot of this movie? If the narrator is fighting himself and talking to himself, why do we see him getting dragged across a floor by an invisible force? How does he shoot himself in the mouth and not die? All the crazies that cry symbolism, just hold on. By the end of the movie which was so unecessarily long, I don't even care about symbolism. All I care about is that I've wasted 140 minutes of my time with an incredibly depressing and dark piece of trash movie that I get nothing out of.
You can bet that I will follow the rules of Fight Club.....never talk about Fight Club....because it's not worth my time.
End of Story...I'm gone.
