Starting from the good things:
Wow! The beginning is amazing. If you are a guy who works hard (God only knows what for) to buy useless s*it and does only things that are considered socially acceptable, than this movie will speak to you, I guess some 1 billion people including (obviously I'm one of them).
The first 70 minutes are top class....
SPOILERS AHEAD ....even the fact that within few weeks on the base of a simple fighting club a para-military organization is built is just a minor flaw. But then the truth is revealed.....
VERY IMPORTANT SPOILER .....Tyler is the Narrator, his alter ego. After initial shock and amazement you ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?". Sorry, wrong movie, it should be: "No, it can't be true, that's stupid, that's f***ing very disappointing!!!!".
It could be a classic but unfortunately it isn't.
Well, original idea (based on a book but still original for a movie), great first half (it makes you wanna beat the s*it out of your boss, quit your job and join some anarchist group), really good acting (what did you expect, it's Norton, Pitt and Bonham-Carter) and Fincher is still a good director (though sometimes he gets lost). So the note is....
6/10
