::READERS REVIEWS::

Great Blu-Ray Treatment for a Great Movie - This has been one of my favorite movies since I saw it in theaters my senior year of high-school. I won't bother reviewing the movie itself becasue at this point, that would be a waste of everyone's time. I have been avoiding buying movies on Blu-Ray that I already own on DVD (I have over 500 DVD's, so that's avoiding a lot of movies) simply because that would be a financial nightmare and totally unjustifiable in most cases. The playstation 3 Blu-Ray player upconverts regular DVD's to make them look pretty nice on the 1080p tv so I haven't really felt the need for a better picture on most of my movies. Another annoying factor is the special editions of many of my DVD's have way more bonus features than the new Blu-Rays have, which is lame. The 10th Anniversary edition of Fight Club on Blu-Ray is awesome. It totally negates the need to hang on to my old Special Edition DVD and it looks fantastic. For anyone who says they can't tell the difference between this and DVD they are either blind or don't have the right equipment to view at full potential. I am very pleased with this Blu-Ray edition and for [...] bucks here on Amazon, I can't complain about buying another version of the same movie. It is loaded with special features, and is truly a new experience in watching this great movie. Anyone questioning if it's worth the upgrade, I say yes!

BUY NOW!!!!! - Pretty much the best Guy movie ever made (my opinion). Can't go wrong with this movie.

Don't Read Spoiler Reviews. Please Don't! - I have to admit from the beginning that I had never seen FIGHT CLUB before 2010. Yes (hangs head in shame), I'd heard all the hype and thought it to be just that: hype. Although I did notice that most of the kudos came from guys, not gals, even though the well-built Brad Pitt (Inglourious Basterds) was liberally smeared on cover displays along with witty (and not unhandsome) Edward Norton (The Painted Veil). Hmm. So I finally took the plunge and picked up a Blu-Ray copy.

Although brutal along the lines of GoodFellas, Fight Club is smart, funny, and exceptionally dark. It also has at its heart a (very) surprisingly good love story starring Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd). I also think this is one of Carter's strongest roles. She is so beyond anything I'd ever seen from her that I originally had trouble believing it WAS her in the film.

If you can get past some of the more gory scenes, I dare say that all viewers will be well-rewarded in the end. That's not to say you should dismiss the violence. Indeed, it is part-and-parcel to the entire components of the film and its incredibly awesome story structure.

And this isn't the first time Brad Pitt and director David Fincher have worked together. In 1995 they did the excellent film Seven. If you enjoyed that film, you'll absolutely fall in love with this one. Fincher loves to play mind-twists but he doesn't do it in a heavy-handed way or even in a directly misguiding one (unlike M. Night Shyamalan with his groundbreaking The Sixth Sense).

Although the twist towards the end was enjoyable, I was an astute enough viewer to realize what was going on long before its reveal. Which didn't make the movie any less enjoyable. It was HOW the reveal was pulled off that made the film so amazing.

Some of those who haven't seen the film might want a kind of blow-by-blow description ...and many reviews like that can easily be found. DON'T READ THEM! They will absolutely ruin the film for you. I have, in the past (and probably will in the future), given descriptions of films, but not here. This one needs to be experienced without foreknowledge. Kind of like a surprise punch to the face...

Fight Club - The film is one of the best ones that I've seen, and possiblily the best postmodern film and novel that's out there. The film will surprise you in the end.

loved it! - what can i say? it's a great movie and now i own it on blu-ray.

Great Deal, Great Movie, Blu-Ray Is Awesome - This was my very first blu-ray purchase. It looks spectacular and I recomend this buy even if you already own the dvd, it's worth the upgrade.

One of the best film's of all time - If you've seen Fight Club, you know how great it is. If you haven't, then you should buy this immediately and watch it, if only to avoid being mocked for all eternity. It's that good.

My Fight Club Review - Fight Club. The word fight is "To contend in physical conflict, either as an individual or in war, battle
etc." A club is "An association of members joining together for some common purpose, especially sports
or recreation." Put those two words and meanings together and you've got a club of members who fight
each other. So imagine what people thought when the film, Fight Club based off the novel of the same
name released in 1999. I remember being 9 years-old and passing by its billboard showing two of the
main actors, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. A subtitle read, "Mischief. Mayhem. Soap." Soap? This
explains the pink bar of soap filling up almost half of the advertisement! Why was Brad holding soap and
why was Edward grinning behind him? While I would continue to figure this out, others older than me
would probably think it was a comedy. 8 years later, I'm 17, purchase the DVD and finally watch it. I've
never had a favorite film of all-time but this one filled its slot. Guess what? It isn't about fighting or soap
but a film about fighting against society.

The film begins showing Edward Norton's character, a nameless narrator of the film with a barrel
of a gun put in his mouth. He tells the viewer that these moments are too early in the story and he'll start
over. The narrator says he has had insomnia for the last 6 months and his life has been complicated during
this time. He's a traveling automobile company employee who lives in a condominium. He explains that
he has become a slave to IKEA and if he saw something anything clever like a coffee table in shape of a
yin-yang, he had to have it. As I listened to him and looked at his condo, I wasn't convinced that he was
happy with or without insomnia. After being rejected medication from his doctor, he's advised to visit a
support group where others are in more pain than he's in. He attends a group for testicular cancer acting
as a victim but without expecting it, he releases emotional stress that relives his symptom for the night.
He becomes addicted and attends other groups until another imposter, Maria Singer played by actress,
Bonham Carter disturbs him. He soon negotiates with her to not meet at the same groups again. After a
flight from a business trip, the narrator finds his apartment destroyed by an explosion. As he looks down
remains of his property on the ground, he showed an unemotional reaction. Even though he didn't want
this to happen, he looked somewhat free. This was a scene that proved that materialism doesn't buy
happiness and can be gone any day. He calls Brad Pitt's character, Tyler Durden, a soap salesman he
befriended on the flight, and met at a bar for drinks. The narrator discusses about the incident and how he
had it all and now it's all gone. Tyler responds that he believes we all need to stop trying to be perfect and
evolve. Then after the narrator said his insurance will probably cover it, Tyler responded with one of the
memorable quotes I'll never forget, "The things you own end up owning you." After a few pitchers of
beer, they leave and the narrator asks Tyler if he could stay at his place for a while. Tyler accepts curtly
but also requests for the narrator to hit him. After hesitation, he punches Tyler which leads to a fistfight
and the narrator moving into Tyler's dilapidated house afterwards. They have more fights outside the bar
and these attract a crowd of leaving men. The fighting moves to the bar's basement, where they form a
fight club. In this order, insomnia, an addiction for support groups, a condo explosion, drinks with a
stranger and desperation led to this. You have to admire the writers for avoiding clichés we've already
seen numerous times in other films. Now that the fight club has now been born, where can the story go
from here?

"The first rule of fight club is you do not talk about fight club. The second rule of fight club is
you do not talk about fight club." That's the most memorable quote from this film by Tyler Durden but
there's another that explains why this group was put together in the first place. The members are nothing
more than white-collar workers who have no idea where their life's going. Like the narrator,
advertisements has them keeping jobs they hate to buy things they don't need. "We've all been raised on
television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods and rock stars, but we won't.
We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." After hearing this, I understood how fast
this club grew. It was because these people wanted to be around others who felt the same they do. I'll
never understand the anger these men have to want to do this but the thought always keeps me wondering
how it'd be as one of them and feel that rage.

Have you ever got a chemical burn from lye? Avoid getting one. I won't explain how this happened but it
has to be one of the most gripping scenes in this film. As the top of the narrator's right hand fries, Tyler
keeps him from getting loose. He gets in the narrator's head telling him to consider the possibility that
God doesn't like him, never wanted him and probably hates him. "We're God's unwanted children? So be
it!" The narrator tries to do the exercises he learned from the support groups he was in but Tyler stops him
from continuing and said this was the best moment of his life. "You can run water over your hand and
make it worse or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn." "Please let me have it! Please!" "First you
have to give up. First you have to know, not fear, know that someday your going to die" Till this day, I
still don't understand exactly what Tyler meant but my guess was that when you lose it all, you'll want it
back but one day, you'll die and it won't matter. Even though Tyler wanted the narrator to stop fooling
himself and accept death, what a way to explain it.

The narrator and Tyler Durden formed clubs across the country and an organization called Project
Mayhem led by Tyler. One last assignment of the night involves a gun Tyler uses to bring a store cashier
out back. He asks the man for his wallet and looks through it as he says, "Raymond, you're going to die."
As Raymond sobs, Tyler finds out he's a college student and asks him what he studies. "Sss-stuff."
"I asked you what do you study?" "Biology mostly." "Why?" "I-don't-know!" "What did you want to be,
Raymond K. Hessel?" Raymond was speechless. "The question! Was Raymond, what did you want to
be?" Me and the narrator yelled the exact thing, "Answer him, Raymond! Jesus!" "Veteran! Veteran!"
"Animals!" "Yeah, animals!" "That means you need to get more schooling." "Too much school!" "Would
you rather be dead? You rather die? Here? On your knees? In the back of a convenience store?" I found it
hilarious how Raymond was whining over school than his life. "I'm keeping your license. I'm going to
check in on you. I know where you live. If you're not on your way on becoming a veteran in six weeks,
you will be dead. Now run on home. Run, Forest, run!" That was the deepest scene I've ever watched in
my life. No one has a right to force someone to reach their goals against their will but think of how many
people on this earth are throwing their lives away. There's also others like Raymond but are scared of
succeeding. The narrator tried to understand what the point of this assignment was. "Tomorrow will be
the most beautiful day in Raymond Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you or I've
ever tasted."

Tyler is driving the narrator and two members of Project Mayhem on the road. The narrator starts
complaining about how he was left in the dark about the organization. Tyler responds that it doesn't
belong to them and that they're not special but the narrator keeps demanding information. "Okay. Okay."
"Quite screwing around! Take the wheel! Take the wheel!" "Look at you! You're pathetic!" "What?
Why? What're you talking about?" "Stop trying to control everything and just-let-go! Let go!" Well, I'm
letting go. The quotes and scenes I've mentioned have nothing on the film as a whole. This film is about
becoming who you need to be reach your destiny and who you become could be bad or good. Either way,
it happens every day. Fight Club is a pure drama that all its actors succeeds at making us believe they're
who they're portraying as. The soundtrack is excellent. I thank the director, David Fincher for choosing
the breakbeat producing duo, Dust Brothers because this film is too complex for just any film score band.
The visual effects also shares quality with the score and just when I thought it'd ruin the mood, I stood
corrected. I want to applauded Edward Norton and Brad Pitt for their phenomenal performances and I
can't see anyone else playing these roles. I'm thankful to call this film my favorite film of all time and
would refer it to anyone. November 17, 2009 was one of the best days of my life as I bought Fight Club's
Blu-ray celebrating its 10th anniversary. The moral of this film is that you can't force anyone to conquer
in life. It's just one of the ways the world turns. If the first two rules of fight club is not to talk about fight
club, the third should be, "Do not remake Fight Club."

Fight Club's Report Card - A+

Review of superb blu-ray version - FIGHT CLUB is one of those rare films that has warranted its huge cult following. Whatever your opinion of the film it delivers a wallop of intensity and thought-provoking drama in a way that follows no standard film stereotype of storytelling. This film is very unique and one that many die-hard fans have been anxiously awaiting to see on blu-ray. Well, here it is - with superb, unique packaging. But was it worth the wait? And is it worth a purchase if you have the dvd? A resounding yes to both.

When blu-ray is used to its fullest potential any film takes on a new life. That is what happens here. Everything that was intense intensifies - darks take new form, colors are vibrant. There are many unique scenes and backdrops in this film. On blu-ray you see even more clearly what the director wanted to portray. The 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer is a huge improvement from the dvd especially when it comes to overall clarity and color depth. The audio is impeccable. At times you can hear a pin drop and the expected explosions are so realistic you will be dumbfounded. And all inbetween brings the film to a bigger reality.

Fans rejoice. Finally FIGHT CLUB can be seen in all its glory. The impressive cast led by Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter is astounding and the lead three give performances so creative, so unique and so intense that they rival the best in their careers. The same is true for director David Fincher - this is truly his masterpiece.

I highly recommend this movie in any form but particularly on the superb blu-ray. This film is so well done it is in no way dated. One of the best films ever made shown to its greatest potential.

Fight Club's Report Card - A+

A must see film - I've been along time fan of this film. I think it is one of the best movies ever made. Its one of those rare movies that must be seen twice.

BLU-RAY FAIL!!! - This rating is for the "BLU-RAY" version only. I've gone through 5 blu-ray copies and every one of them was defected. The menu starts up as the menu start up for "Never been kissed" with Drew Berrymore, then it switches to the Fight Club menu.. weird yes and then after you play the movie it glitchs n statics through out the whole movie. Every "10th year anniversary blu-ray edition i pick up seems to have this problem.

Great Film and loaded with extras - Fight Club is an awesome film already, but this version comes with loads of extras. To see how Fincher got the project off the ground and watch how he works could be a seperate film by itself. Great movie and even better special features for a true film fan.

Fight Club - This may be a great movie to watch if you have not seen in it a long time. I enjoy these types of movies and seeing how it was extremely cheap to purchase on blu ray as well I took it.

Incredibly dark and very funny - Based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club explores the darker side of mental instability in the form of a dark comedy. The film tells the rather unsettling story of an insomnia stricken man, played by Edward Norton. His life changed one day when he meets a mysterious soap maker named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and, after his apartment room is blown up along with all of his belongings and the little that remains of his personal life, they became inspired to co-create a seedy underground club in which men are invited to attend and to pummel on each other to their heart's content as a form of physical therapy as well as an advanced form of personal male-bonding. Things get complex when a female drifter named Marla (Helena Bonham Carter) who inadvertently gets involved in the mentally deteriorated world that these two men share. Things only get worse when Tyler decides to take the club out onto the streets and then into their homes and into the lives of more political and respected people.


As technically talented as Fincher is, what I admire most about the film is how he doesn't let the visuals tell the story. I know that a lot of moviegoers hate narration, but trust me when I say that it is put to good use here. The sarcastic, bitter, angry voice of Edward Norton that plays over the events helps a lot in driving the atmosphere of the film into it's audience, but it also adds to the humor of the film. Is the film a satire? I'd go onto say that it is as much a satire as South Park is. So then why the slick visuals? Why the sly, cool tone? Why the clever dialogue? Well, to me it all seemed very forced and over-the-top. Nobody in the real world talks like these characters, and it seems pretty obvious that the film knows this. You can tell in the sarcastic narration. I think that people may likely forget that it is Edward Norton's character who is doing the narration and so therefor we're watching the story unfold from the perspective of someone who is obviously crazy. Every person in this film is crazy in one way or another. Much like Terry Gilliam's Brazil, Fight Club shows a world devoid of any sort of normal thoughts of any kind, whether independent or not. What makes the film so bizarre is the fact the thoughts of the main character make sense in the sense that they have rationale to them. However, this is also how the film's humor comes through. The physical appearance of the main character slowly grows worse and worse while the characters around his grow more self-aware, more open-minded, and more like he was at one time. What makes this so funny is the fact that acts and methods these characters use to make themselves happier are so completely irrational and ridiculous that only a fool could ever take it seriously. Not to ruin the plot, but when it comes to illegal acts of vandalism involving public property being destroyed, there comes a point where politics don't seem so important in retrospect since we live in such an interesting and advanced time in the world today.


Looking at this film ten years later, it still has just as much power as it did in 1999 or 2000 or whenever it was when people decided to start watching it. As I said before, David Fincher is a technical talent. His films often hold an incredible amount of visual energy, and Fight Club is no different. The performances are excellent. Edward Norton's performance here is one of his best, as is Helena Bonham Carter. As for Brad Pitt, he does exactly what the role requires from him and kudos to his for being such a good sport for being in this film. I definitely wouldn't call this his best performance. He is required to act in a sub-conscious way that feels full of self-deprecation, and this shouldn't be all that hard for any good actor as long as they are a good sport and they aren't afraid of looking stupid. I prefer his roles in films like 12 Monkeys in which he plays much more deeply troubling and complicated characters. The music in this film works equally as well. It's very dirty, industrial, and overbearing, much like the film itself. However, it is, at times, heavy to the point of absurdity, so it also helps with the humor of the film too. The film just has a tremendous spirit, though I can't say that I actually enjoy watching it. It's full of blood and guts from beginning to end, though it doesn't exactly have a high bodycount. It's often very ugly to look at, which I don't mind except when it gets to the point where it makes the film feel a little too dirty in that way that makes you want to shower. This is also a very very homoerotic film, not just in the fight scenes but also in the way the male characters act around and toward each other. Their mannerisms, as well as their quick little quirks and playful flirtations, get pretty weird after a while. It's about as homoerotic a film as Interview With the Vampire. I can't say that I'm anywhere near as infatuated with it as I was when I was in high school, where any film that tried new things seemed revolutionary and brilliant, and just as well, this film makes it very difficult to take Brad Pitt seriously in most of his other films. None of these things where what I originally loved about this film, however, and the film itself still works great as a comedy. The fight scenes in this film are also excellently choreographed and the gore effects in these scenes are wonderfully done. The final shot of the film may, at once, be considered by some to be an amazing and rebellious shot, but I laugh just thinking about it due to another very brief image in one frame of the shot that occurs just as the credits are appearing.


So overall, Fight Club is still an entertaining film. It's funny, it's dark, and it provides a very honest depiction of mental illness that very few films have the balls to explore. Would I recommend it to everyone? Definitely not. I will say that it's most worthwhile audience would be people who are interested in films about insanity. It's one of the best ones you'll find, or at least one of the best ones that was released in the past couple of decades. The film has developed a strange cult following, reminiscent of the cult audience surrounding American Psycho. These people seem to feel that these two films contain deep philosophical messages about the nature of humanity, but they definitely don't. Sure, there's a lot going on in both of these films, and the characters may have a fascinating level of detail to them, but that does not mean that these films don't offer more than good entertainment and some ideas to think about. I don't think the characters in Fight Club should be taken seriously and I'm astounded that anyone even could take them seriously. It's like saying that Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon was right to rob the bank and that the police were all wrong. Both sides made mistakes and both sides learned things, but that doesn't change the finale of the film. If you're going to watch Fight Club, please don't try to watch it with an open-mind about the characters and the things that they say. Watch it knowing everything that you know now about politics, science, religion, and humanity. I'm sure that the film will have the desired effect on you.

Fight Club Packs a Punch on Blu-ray - I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of this movie. I think that it is really good but I don't think that it is as incredible as other people say. Most people know what this movie is so I'm not going to tell the plot of Fight Club. However, I like the movie enough that I bought it on blu-ray.

I think that the story is interesting and demands more than one viewing. It's really interesting how you view Fight Club the first time and then how you view it on repeat. It almost feels like you're watching a different movie. The acting is great and believable. I will say that this movie isn't for the faint of heart. There isn't alot of fighting for a movie called Fight Club, but that's because this movie isn't about fighting. When there is fighting it's very brutal. There is plenty of other violence in this film that is very graphic.

Moving on to the blu-ray. The packaging is pretty cool looking but it's an eco-case. If you don't know what an eco-case is it's the new re-cycled cases they've been using on blu-rays. The paper is very thin and feels like you could break it if you dropped it. Other than that it's great. The movie looks very good for a movie that was released in 1999. There is a thin layer of grain throughout the movie but it's hardly noticeable and sort of suits the movie. Everything is pretty well crisp looking and is a definite step up from the dvd edition. Where this blu-ray really succeeds though is with the sound quality. The bass in your speakers will vibrate the walls each time someone is punched. The sound quality also suits the atmosphere and tone of the film and voices sound very clear. Also, the "plane scene" sounds incredible.

I rate this movie an 8/10 but I rate this blu-ray a 5/5. This blu-ray is a must own if you like the movie.

Excellent movie - I do not have to tell how good is this movie... probably it would make it to the top 10 movies for a lot of people.

Anyway the quality of this blu ray is perfect. I have seen this movie like hundreds of times and with this blu-ray I saw and notice things that I haven't noticed before.
