If you're a lot younger, like myself, and are male, like myself, then Fight Club is expected to resonate well with you, and it most likely will, given you're not trying to be all "against the mainstream" and whatnot. You're also expected to grow out of the film at a maturer age and mindset, and you most likely will, given you're not trying to be all "against the mainstream" and whatnot.Fight Club is a good film, a versatile film, but not particularly sensible. It doesn't make a lot of sense, correct? Brainwashing people so that they may break out of their daily routine to join a cult, which aims to do the opposite of what its causing, correct? It's confusing, but its sheer barbaric nature of male chauvinism and aggressive campaigns against our purposeless existence of consumerism, is utterly interesting and works to a blurry extent. It blasts through the red tape of gender equality and passive aggressive society, and blatantly holds up a sign stating "men have been neutered". Whether you believe we have, is up to you, but Fight Club certainly makes a strong case on why we have. This is where fighting comes in. Seen as a primitive rite of passage from boyhood to "manhood", the meaning is applied to these men who have supposedly forgotten their roots of "manliness". Now what this all means in the end is still hard to decipher, and I haven't read the book to judge whether it is just satire on nihilism and anarchy, but the film is testosterone fuelled and unapologetic in its message to this generations "average man", who is softened by consumer goods and lack of strong male influence.
It also has a pretty cool story and a disgusting art style, which generates a gritty, urban vibe.
Whether the film is overrated or not is a different story, and one that I don't want to get into, for I feel that just calling things "overrated" is a shitty fucking opinion that should be melted in a frunace! It's certainly not the greatest film of all time, but it explores some interesting questions that are left unanswered for good reason. If you're as angsty as my young blood, then give Fight Club a shot.
8.5/10

Extremely overrated.SkilledLunatic
Oh man... Anarchist's wet dream. Very good story and direction and is nice too see some references to Ingmar Bergman "Persona" which has an heavy influence on this movie. There is a lot of machismo thought, I mean where are all the women?ALSO STOP SPOILING THE END, NOT EVERYONE HAS SEEN THIS MOVIE!

Very good, complex film anchored by great acting and an excellent cinematography. An absolute pleasure to watch, although it drags a bit midway. Naturally it's a bit overrated, which is okay with me I suppose.noahahdb
This movie came out before schizophrenia was used to make things profound. Also Fight Club is infinitely better than shutter island.Louboutin

Highly overrated in my opinion, yes the twist was cool but otherwise the movie was rather medicore ... (I'd rather recommend watching Shutter Island, also uses schizophrenic elements, but the storie actually makes sense)AlexOlsen
Where is my mind!?HyliaFischer
Really deserves its hype. Awesome movie.mj32893
Again, one of those films that uses schizophrenic stuff to make it profound. I still like it though.JoacoButano
Just amazing.Rigters
In the end, i didn't quite get it. But then I just looked at the screen while saying "WTF". I love the Pixies and hearing that song at the end, just knocked me out. Very nice movie, two of my favorite actors, great work.However, I have to say I had higher expectations, mainly because of the top10 in IMDB. I think it doesn't deserve it.
