If American Beauty deserves an oscar than Fight Club deserves 10 oscars.....I would say this movie has been underrated by most people and not given the respect it deserves.... the acting, sound, story, directing, cinematagrophy are all A+ ....
In the consumer society in which most of us live in .... this movie really re-define the meaning of life...its a real work of art and story telling , with comedy , action and sex....
This movie trully deserves to be in theatre as one the best films ever .... And I rarely give a film 9/10 .....

Well if you seen the other romantic comedy films Prinze has done, this one isn't much different....he meets the girl, they fall in love, break up and become lovers again to give a happy ending.....
Prinze is the almost perfect boyfriend a girl can have (remember "She's all that")....the different qualities the girlfriend has in his movies is the only thing really different......and one more thing this movie does not take place in high school .... college and grad school partially...
It definitely is not for someone wanting to see something new and thrilling....yet it is not a bad movie .... only thing is that the topic is too stereotypical...
If you like teen, or college love stories,,,, might as well see it. ..or u are really bored and want to spend an hour an half of time...
End Verdict 6/10 .....

Pros: Great action, not overally complicated storyline, Thandie Newton and other overall cast, location of movie, the facelifting, cinematography and sound...
Cons: Action scenes are at the too prolonged and very unrealistic, story is quite predictable at times, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise's character) is lost with identity crisis with James Bond and Jackie Chan.
I personally liked the complex storyline presented in the prequel of Mission Impossible...it made me see the movie several times to understand it completely but I enjoyed...only someone like Brian De Palma could pull it off this ultimate story of deceive.
Sure John Woo is the king of action but at the end 20 minutes of the film it becomes all pointless ... you know when there will be a macho fist to fist fight with the big bad guy, and hero wins, the villain fakes his death and rises up but the hero is still a wiseass...and rescues the beautiful girl from the clutches of evil.
Tom Cruise tries more to like the flamboyant James Bond rather the spying mole he played in MI-1. There were elements in the original series and first movie that I especially liked. These vital essence are missing in this movie.
Otherwise the movie is quite ok, nice way to have fun and spend two hours time. John Woo fan will surely like it, but me being more interested the deciet, espionage and investigation prefer MI-1...compared to MI-2...
At the end I give it 73 out of 100....the same score I gave "The World is Not Enough"..
