GRADE: A+


This is my very first A+, and I'm proud it say it's a movie this epic!! Almost everything about this movie is flawless. The acting, the directing, the dialoge, the symbolism. Everything!!

Even towards the beginning, I noticed something odd about the connection between the two characters, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, and it was so subtle, I just ignored it at the time. Edward Norton plays the transition from his white-collared job, condo-living man, to a radical rebel who fights every week perfectly. I've decided to watch some more work of Norton.

Helena Bonham Carter never fails to disappoint. Outstanding, as always and if anything, her character was the least developed, because of less screen time, but all in all, every moment she was on screen was genius. Definitely one of my favorite actresses.

The movie WAS a little long, (2.5 hours) but you really couldn't tell, because there were literally no boring parts in it. It's basically set up in 3 acts, and all are different, but perfect in how they're set up.

Surprisingly, this movie has very little fighting in it, but when it does, it plays a huge part in it. It's a way for the men to release their inner-instincts and the way the set is used, you can tell that they're only motivated by that.

So, please watch this film if you've yet to, because everyone needs to see a movie like this if they haven't yet.
