Overrated

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2007)

In my opinion, Fight Club is probably the most overrated movie in the IMDb top 30 list. The plot is unsatisfactory and the graphic violence displayed is particularly disturbing and difficult to watch. The cinematography is dark throughout and although this was obviously intended by the makers of the movie, i find it another unappealing aspect. In fact, i'm surprised that an actor of Brad Pitt's calibre chose to star in it. He is without doubt one of the best actors of his generation and has certainly done better work in his career. I always think he is at his best in more entertaining movies like Ocean's Eleven where he is superb. Definitely would not recommend this movie although i think i'm in the minority judging by the its present lofty position on the top 250 list.
