In Disc 1: The movie was so great because it was based on the book. And there was so much Carnage and vandalism that the Narrator and Tyler Durden caused during the night. Disc 2: All of these special features footages were cool and all those upcoming process were excellent, the behind the scenes footages were awesome, deleted and extended scenes were acceptable, different angles were great, trailers and TV spots were cool. And the packaging itself was acceptable, but these 2 disc holders were damaged but no 2 discs itselves damages occurred so it's good. So thank you for delivering this DVD to me, I appreciate this.

First of all, this movie was released a year before the terror attacks of 2001, so it has a different attitude about terrorist bombings of buildings than we have post-9/11. If you can get past that, there's a lot to like about this movie. There are moments of excess, exceeding my will to suspend disbelief, but there are just as many moments of storytelling brilliance. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are at the top of their game, and Helena Bonham-Carter steals many a scene as their shared cigarette-puffing slut. The direction by David Fincher is inspired, and the music by Dust Brothers helps set an edgy mood. This movie will weather well and may even be considered a classic at some point. It's a two-DVD set with lots and lots of supplemental material. There are four feature commentaries, giving lots of perspective on the production. Four stars out of five. Thumbs up. Well worth viewing.Read full review
An excellent movie period, Fight Club is great because it explores a growing trend of social dissatisfaction through the decisions and actions of the film's two main characters. Although the violence can become graphic (had to turn away a few times), the plot is mostly psychological and wonderfully thematic. Things to be aware of: strong language, as mentioned already: graphic violence, sexual content, and brief nudity. Even though I usually stick to 'cleaner' movies, I strongly feel that the theme is fantastic enough to make this by far the best movie I have seen all year. If you enjoyed "The Prestige" you will probably enjoy "Fight Club." (If that helps to set a tone) Definitely watch this movie at least once.
I'm going to break the first rule of FIGHT CLUB and talk about FIGHT CLUB. Imagine a movie that's actually ABOUT something, not bare-knuckle boxing or soap making (although both play vital roles), but something more than entertainment or dramatic action or comedy. FIGHT CLUB is all that -- and more. At the center of FIGHT CLUB lurk provocative questions. But the film trusts its audience enough NOT to provide glib answers. And anyway, the questions are much more interesting than their answers. Does your life have meaning? Are you happy? How do you define obedience? Or love? Or identity? Directed by David Fincher and starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter, FIGHT CLUB is based on the eponymous 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The novel is the source of profundity upon which the film has improved. In other words, the novel enriches the dynamic of the film's conflict: characters torn between the conventional social order and anti-consumer nihilism. The story challenges our understanding of materialism, capitalism, property and civilization itself. This is NO SMALL THING -- a Hollywood film that actually matters. No wonder the studio balked at releasing this little gem. When bottom-line execs got a look at Fincher's masterpiece, they panicked. What to do with a film that provokes thought and challenges perceptions? FIGHT CLUB was originally marketed as a guy film, aimed at teenage males aged somewhere between doofus and dude. Despite this, the film still managed to connect with its target audience: thinking people. Watch it and see if you don't agree. The first rule of FIGHT CLUB turns out to be: you cannot help but talk about FIGHT CLUB. Note: The Special Edition Digipack has all the bells and whistles, from production notes and deleted scenes, to commentaries and internet ads. Fun for fans and dudes alike.Read full review
An instant classic full of violence philosophy and sex. Very true to the book and full of memorable characters. The two disc dvd collectors edition is the best release thus far. The packaging is several layers of premium printed cardboard. With the motive of a bar of soap wrapped in paper. The two discs contain many interesting character studies and behind the scenes featurettes. Woth lots of documentation and brightly colored pictures this set is the best on the market.
