The ending took away from the rest of the movie a bit

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2001)

The imagery was amazing; one memorable scene (*SPOILER) was when the project mayhem army was tilling the backyard field while Tyler spoke on a megaphone "you are not a beautiful snowflake." THe entire scene was shot like a warzone out of "Saving Private Ryan"..absolutely fascist! The use of special effects was cool too, it was nice to see how technology can accentuate artwork in other ways besides creating velociraptors and such.

what a good movie! hilarious at times, wierd at times, but entertaining all through the film. IT explores themes such as masculinity, corporatism, consumerism, and so on, and the acting is great. as the film nears a close, though, the plot becomes more and more strange. The final ending was a bit much for me (*SPOLIERS ABOUT TO BE DIVULGED), especially when he shot himself in the mouth. Somehow, that shot killed tyler, but didn't kill him. The buildings blowing up and the fall of corporations was all right, but him somehow surviving a shot to the head, and then talking afterward kind of took away from the ending. Maybe i just don't get it.
