From Amazon.com
All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. IFight Club/I takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.p IFight Club/I, directed by David Fincher (ISeven/I), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. I--Jenny Brown/I
Additional features
The first rule of Fight Club may be that you don't talk about Fight Club, but that didn't stop the powers that be from assembling Ifour/I separate commentaries for you to partake of in your viewing pleasure of the IFight Club/I DVD. Listen to director David Fincher solo, or with stars Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter; novelist Chuck Palahniuk and screenwriter Jim Uhls discuss the differences between the book and the film; and the film's design team dissects the numerous visual effects that went into the film. Wretched excess? Hardly. If any film was worthy of such intimate dissection, it's this one, and the two-disc DVD set is a film aficionado's dream. The first disc, containing the film and the commentaries, is one of the best film-to-DVD transfers you'll see, with nifty, seamless interactive menus. The second disc is given over entirely to extras, from storyboards and dissections of seminal sequences to alternate filmings of certain scenes, to deleted scenes that didn't make the final cut (with helpful explanations placing them in context, noting why they weren't used, and showing the scenes that Idid/I make the final cut). There's also just as much information given over to the promotion and marketing of the film as there is the production of it; you'll find innumerable trailers, including Internet-only clips and Norton and Pitt's hilarious "public service announcements." And keep an eye out for the fake "warning" at the beginning of the film as well as the hidden smiley-face that will take you to some hilarious IFight Club/I promotional items, including the "Your life is ticking away one minute at a time" clock, ripe for desktop service. All in all, this is one of the best DVD sets you'll ever find, in terms of technology and information. I--Mark Englehart/I

There are two types of people in this world. Those who have watched Fight Club and those who haven't. I luckily fall into the latter group and I suggest you follow suit. Seriously, this is one of the best movies of all time. br / br /Let's first start off with the actors. Edward Norton (American History X) as the main character is absolutely amazing (as in all his roles). His voice narrates most of the movie and it delivers some of the most memorable quotes in movie history (see below). Teamed with Norton is Brad Pitt who plays the protagonist's slightly insane friend, Tyler Durden. He also plays his character to perfection, and with these two on board it already promises to be a good movie. br / br /But it gets better. As mentioned above Fight Club has some of the most memorable quotes of all time. These lines sum up things you've always wanted to express but you don't know how to say. They are funny, poetic, thought provoking and whether being delivered by the neurotic protaginist, or the crazed Tyler Durden they are timeless. br / br /These quotes mostly come word for word from the book (Fight Club by Chuck Palmouni) the movie was based on. Which brings me to the most important part of why this movie is so great: the story. The plot is so original, it only could have come from a book. Hollywood just doesn't think this kind of stuff up. It's absolutely mind blowing the twist at the end and telling you the basic plot is even a crime since you can't forsee all the twists and turns this movie takes you on. I will tell you one thing though: it's not all about fighting. br / br /It's more a mix of philosphy, satire, dark humour, and action. It delivers thought provoking subject matter on so many levels. It asks deep questions about self, consumerism, violence, and anarchism. To put it shortly it is potentially life changing material. br / br /And the amazing thing is that the director manages to hold it all together. If you read the book it is a convuluted mish mash that makes little or no sense at some points. What the movie does is it takes this fantastic mess, chops the bad parts, improves the good parts, throws in a good deal of humour, and finally sugar coats the whole thing with pretty faces such as Pitt and Norton. The result is a film that has the same intruiging ideas but without the confusion of the book. It maybe the best adaption from a novel in Hollywood history. br / br /I have a habit of overrating some stuff here on Amazon but this is no exaggeration. This movie deserves every one of its five stars.
best movie I've seen in a while October 30, 2006

Fight Club is one of the bravest films of the 90's, it is also one of the best. This DVD does the film justice. The previous edition was near perfect, this one improves upon it in every way. The picture quaility is much better. The sound is improved. And Also, their are loads more special features on the second disk. If you are a fan of this movie, you should definatly pick up this DVD.
 Not bad, but... July 20, 2004

OK, blend Matrix, Guy Richi, and Osama Bin Laden and you get a masterpiece? A funny comedy, not more. Fight Club is brilliant in the beginning with all that satire, but when it gets philosophical, I felt like I have seen this before.
