Finally got around to see it since I've had it on DVD for a while now. Movie was decent at best.

I agree with you but prepare to be flamed.

Seriously though, it was a great film. Great writing and brings up quite a few things to think about after the movie is over. For example, did anyone else pick up on the Narrator/Tyler Duren relationship as a Nietzsche reference?

I like it because I didn't see the main plot twist coming, like in so many other movies. I love the style of the movie and I think the actors in it put in great performances. Just the idea of secret network of blue collar workers bound by an underground fight club that existed virtually everywhere was fascinating to me.

I dunno. I just liked it I guess...

<- favorite movie
If you were watching it expecting a cool fighting movie, you would be disappointed.
It's a really well made philosophical movie depicting people's obsession with consumerism.

I think most of you geeks like this movie because none of you have balls and you can associate with Ed Norton's character. Just like the movie, Pitt's character is who you wish you could be like.

The acting was pretty good for the content of the film. It could have been comical but they kept is serious.

the movie is a great study on film and visual culture as well. it is rife with images of thin veiled homosexuality. yep. seriously.

well, no one except mostly everyone here regards it as one of their favorite movies (just look at the responses above), so that's the only reason that I could find. Heck, none of my friends or any else I know talk so highly of this movie
