Did you like Fight Club

[Jobz]

I read the book first, and I loved it. Then I saw the movie, and I loved it anyway. Yeah it made some changes and left a few bits out. But I felt it stayed true to the main story for the most part.

I'm a huge Palahniuk fan. Haven't read a book by him I haven't liked. Choke was a pretty good movie as well, even though it changed a few things from the book. His novels seem to translate to the screen pretty well.

I always like watching it the second time and finding all the points where you can figure out that

Spoiler

Tyler and the Narrator are the same person

. I think it was a good movie, and easily Edward Norton's best role to date.

I liked it.

Not as amazing as everyone says it is (Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't cure cancer), but it was good.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought it had a very good story, the cienematography was great, and the acting was superb! It's definitely worth seeing/buying!

I agree. Even though it wasn't necissarily true to the book the story it told was brilliantly, the acting was superb and the black humor and comic releif was well implemented, it worked without making the movie seem silly.
*holy moly it's an edit* Read the prestige/watch the film if you liked fight club, very different story but yet awsome for the same reasons (or at least I felt so).

Fight Club was a brilliant film for one interested in psychology and politics. Especially a leftist such as myself. It's one of only two roles I actually like Brad Pitt in. The other's Snatch.

I grew up to that movie and even as a youngster I loved it and understood it. ^^

Good movie

But the book, oh how it's worlds different and better.

Someone's been watching G4. They've shown it every day for almost two weeks.

Funny thing you say that...because that was exactly what I thought when I read the OP

Fightclub was superb before it became the go-to book for annoying self-important teenagers. Palahniuk has turned out to be a bit of a one trick pony as well. His other books rarely stray from the Fight Club formula, which is a shame.

When did I become "self-important"??? I am confused. >.>

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

I just like the idea that he...

Spoiler

Shoots himself in the head to kill his imaginary friend.

And it works.

 

[chimmers]

I thought Fight Club was hilarious, and it is the humour that makes em watch the whole thing every time i come across it

 

[ShogunGino]

I want to read the book, after I saw the movie, and I looked online, and the author stated that he really liked the movie, except the only part he specifically didn't like was when Norton found out that Tyler had used paraffin wax for explosives when the author specifically researched what could make explosives work, and he said in his book that "paraffin doesn't work". If I hear that the author enjoys a film version of his book, then I normally try to find it in myself to do the same. Can't always say the same about everything.

 

[Copter400]

It was good, but I must strongly recommend the book. Chuck's writing makes everything so vivid.

 

[Mariena]

I was horrible confused by the movie, and I think I saw it twice. Perhaps I thought too much of it.

Fight club, special little club, we don't talk about fight club.. and then it proceeds to follow the main guy's life, his apparent identity crisis, then they want to chop his balls off and fights his invisible self, or something. Then he blows his throat out but is healed within a few seconds.. though probably any other guy would be dead.

Then I think some girl makes out with the guy and buildings blow up around him.

Wtf.

I think your DVD player was skipping.
It's a great film, buit I have a love/hate relationship with it.
The modern masculinity exploration Ican understand but the wilful destruction of property leaves me cold. Despite my own stance on boycotting lables as much as I can.
Maybe if they'd blown up a Reebok factory....

 

[orifice]

YES. An all time great and one of my top ten.
