I thought this was STUPID

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2004)

Very unrealistic film. In real life people don't talk or act like the characters in this moon pitcher. Men don't dream about bare knuckle fights every week cause they know they'll get hurt bad. The plot here seems to be that tyler durden wants to make America a society of anarchy and so - BIG SPOILER - he stages these fights and thereby organizes a gang of fellow loonies and they make enough soap bombs to collapse a dozen skyscrapers in the city! That's right - soap bombs. He breaks into a liposuction center and steals human fat to make soap that he mixes with gasoline and that's how he levels a city. JEEEZO.
Edward Norton was OK as the geek and Brad Pitt was OK as tyler. Helena Bonhan Carter played the brainless whore and was wasted in this movie. I've always liked her, but here she wasn't even pretty. I give this film a C-.
