Personally I think it's a brilliant film.
One of my uncle's really thinks about this movie a lot and compares the main character to a Christ like figure who has to die and is reborn again.
I've always loved Palahniuks works. I've read Invisible Monsters(a personal favorite), Survivor, and Lullaby.
There's something brutally honest about his work and a lot of the ideas expressed in the film. Like when I goto Ikea I feel different because I'm picking one piece of mass produced furniture that will be in my apartment because I picked it even though 100 people before me also bought it.
It's a very harsh film and I can understand people not liking it. My brother HATES it after they introduce Tyler. I know a lot of people that feel the same way like there are two movies in one.
So what are your thoughts?

It's a very deep film and many people don't quite understand it fully. Interesting you brought up the Ikea part. I like that portion of the film. But, I think there's more then simply saying, well someone else has it too - more so being that we're told that we "need" it and other things like it persay.
Anyway, a reviewer on this site critiqued it as the motive for the fighting not really be explained...I thought that was interesting.
