would never call this one of fincher’s best, but i really dug watching this last night. carries a variety of tones that rarely if ever feels jarring or like it’s taking on too much. there isn’t a ton of character development, but it’s not really going for that. i think a lot is gonna be lost on viewers if they wait to stream this. highly suggest catching it in the theater if that’s possible for you, especially if you enjoy fincher in general
We didn’t make it for them, but people will see what they’re going to see in a Norman Rockwell painting, or [Picasso’s] Guernica,” he continued. “It’s impossible for me to imagine that people don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a negative influence,” he says. “People who can’t understand that, I don’t know how to respond and I don’t know how to help them.”
Knew I was going to love this from the opening line; the narration was great. I expected more from Reznor & Ross, to be honest, but I was a big fan of what they did for the Florida sequence. Speaking of, great HUGE FUCKING DUDE fight.
The score and sound design in this was incredible, feel like general audiences are gonna hate the entire thing though. It is supremely unfun and while the point, I think they will find the ending extremely unsatisfying. I loved it as a meta commentary moment though, seems like this is the year for that
Soderbergh releases about a film a year and does a lot of those kind of edits or uncredited work on other peoples' films. He just lives movies.
closest theater playing this is like 45 mins. away. looks like it's wait til streaming for me. looks great though.
This ruled so hard. Not that this is a "light" watch or anything, but after some of the thematically heavy movies that came out this year, I had such a blast watching Fincher do some lean, trashy pulp storytelling with his trademark incredible precision. Most fun I've had in a theater in a long time
This was fantastic. It has more in common with a procedural than a gritty hit man film. Gripping from start to finish.
