    Fight Club is all flash and very little substance.

    Fincher's finest movie from a directorial point of view is Zodiac.

    But from a sitting down watching it perspective it's only middlin'.

    If you're going David Fincher, watch Seven. Alot better than Fight Club.

    I disagree. Seven is up there in my list of films with the worst ending ever. Its a quality atmosphere-packed dark thriller but that ending is the opposite of the cherry on the cake. The ending is the turd on the cake. Ruins the whole film.

    They're 2 completely different films. Its difficult to compare really. But i agree its not as good as fight club. I enjoyed FC more than Seven.

    Ah man, Sevens ending was perfect. Reminded me of the ending to American History X, just totally satisfying and complete.

    The studio actually fought Fincher for ages to change the ending of Seven but he wouldn't budge.

    WRONG! Se7en's ending is like a gut punch to the stomach - just brilliant.

    How would you have ended it??

    The truly **** thing about the ending to Seven was how predictable it was (esp. with all the buildup towards the ending, all the while you pretty much know what's going to happen), and
    how little character development there was to try and make you care in any way for the person who was killed
    .

    The film was otherwise good; that ending ruined it for me though.

    Not for me im afraid. Ending just didn't fit the film. Don't get me wrong im all for film endings that don't follow the usual guy gets the girl/ the guy saves the world & gets the girl type rubbish but fincher is taking the piss with that sort of finale.

    But each to their own. Even though im right & your wrong. If you reply to this im right. If you don't im still right. Get out of that one batman.

    Read the Star/Mirror/Herald etc.
    Buy Lady Gaga, Madonna, Take That, Kings of Leon(wft! why?) etc music or overpriced tickets to concerts.
    Let a landlord get away with my deposit for no reason for months on end.
    Be loud if housemates are asleep on sat night and I have been out after drinkin.
    Be rude to people unless it is really needed.
    Buy an Iphone, Ipad, Ipod, have an Itunes account, such complete **** for losers.
    Sell my game consoles if I am broke.
    Royal Family! They.Are.Not.Irish! and mean nothing to anyone outside England.

    To be that overly polite customer service agent my company wants me to be. If a client pisses me off, he´ll be told in no uncertain terms. And no, I´m not gonna laugh(because I have to) if i find your "jokes" and "clever comments" not funny. Screw the lot of you!

    Some sort of robotic unicorn intervenes.

    Nah i don't mind the abrupt 'revelation' at the end. I just wanted a bit more after that.

    You will find yourself in a severe minority on this one. Of course you're entitled to that opinion but for me and many fans of the film, it's a great ending.
    The truly **** thing about the ending to Seven was how predictable it was (esp. with all the buildup towards the ending, all the while you pretty much know what's going to happen), and
    how little character development there was to try and make you care in any way for the person who was killed
    .

    The film was otherwise good; that ending ruined it for me though.

    Can I ask when you watched the movie (ie when it came out or years later after many films tried ripping off it's style and twists & turns)?
    There are far, far worse crime, thrillers pre & post Seven that are far more predictable. Saying you know how a film will end a few minutes before the end is not the same as having it pegged from the 1st act. I knew the twist before I saw it and it still was the "cherry on top" of a quality movie.
