Fight Club

Ah, Fight Club. That movie lots of people have watched and liked, and when they say that it is a good movie, they are correct. For the most part.

As usual, I watched the movie without knowing what the story was about, except that 1) Fight Club has rules and 2) It’s based on a novel. Since that was all I knew, I was pleasantly surprised and didn’t expect any of the crazy-ish twists in the story. At first I was wondering why there was no fighting at the beginning of the movie and why some guy with a mostly monotone voice was talking about his boring life, then after that I enjoyed every minute of it.

At least, until the 2nd hour rolled in. I found that second hour extremely long. It wasn’t as funny or witty as the first for some reason, and I felt it was a little too much talking/seriousness and not enough “lol where did that randomly funny remark come from?!”. Nevertheless I was still surprised at the final revelation/turn of events despite seeing it used in WAY TOO MANY FILMS AND BOOKS OKAY.

I give this movie a 83/100. Good, but could be truly awesome if the second half was more exciting.
