1. One of those rare movies that is better than the book (which was fairly good too.)
Falls off the rails a bit near the end, but the actual ending is pretty good.

Good physical comedy from all three leads (Helena Bohham Carter, who knew?)

Novel and well-integrated CGI, and I loved that house.

2. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
It's not in my top ten, but it's one of those movies I'm willing to watch more than twice (which I have). That's pretty rare for me.

6. I liked it, even though it was two movies crammed together
It was uneven - half social commentary and half psychological drama crammed together uneasily - but the acting was great, and those two halves were well done. All in all, I enjoyed it for what it was trying to do (even though I think it ultimately failed) and simply as entertainment.

12. The first rule of Fight Club is -
The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Third rule of Fight Club, someone yells Stop!, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight. Fifth rule, one fight at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no shirt, no shoes. Seventh rule, fights will go on as long as they have to. And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.

Great Book - Good Movie

13. I caught it on TV late one night. I missed the first part of it.
I want to see it again from the beginning. I liked the ending.

16. Liked it & am waiting for the next Palahniuk adaptation.
I guess Survivor got shelved after 9-11, but Choke is coming out and there are rumors of Lullaby and Rant projects in the works.
