Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac, Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and now I will add Gone Girl. I'm sorry but this guy has made too many masterpieces too just choose one
Nathan Bux Michael Bay's Nathan Bux: Rise of the Fallen
Nathan Bux lol.
Truer words were never spoken!
David Fincher really is a genius, and a master of his craft. It's my firm belief that, though his talents extend beyond cinematography, he's one of the best visual directors that has ever lived.
if you really like fincher that much you should check the show "House of cards" i think it is directed by him
First Rule of my fave Fincher Movie is: I don't talk about my favorite Fincher Movie.
So alien 3 I take it
And the second rule is: you don't talk about your favorite Fincher movie.
Fight clup is the best movie i ever watched
@@aliayld it's amazing but tbh I like social network, se7en and zodiac better. fight club still a 9 tho. also DONT TALK ABT THE FIGHT CLUB!
Yes!!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽
This film was so fucking disturbing. It gave me the weirdest feeling. I guess that's how you know its a good movie.
Idk man. I'm kinda feeling Awesometacular with this one.
I like how this movie shows how sexist the police can be and how misleading the media can be. The theme of this movie (though theres more than one) is that you have to find stuff out for yourself instead of just buying into what you're told. So many good points this film made, and the ending is so thought provoking! I feel like people who hate the ending are just mentally challenged/confused by it and think it's lazy or trying to be clever but it's soo good and original. And to think there are women like that in this world that will sleep with you and claim it as rape. Women can so easily get away with shit like that, it's sickening and crazy
Why can't I give you a +1 with the youtube app? I don't know. But I agree with you. One of my friend got almost convicted for rape until that bitch confessed.
Daniel Staab
No women cannot “so easily” get away with that. Women who are actually assaulted usually don’t even achieve a conviction. There’s like an 18% conviction rate for sex crimes. The real horrifying fact of our world is that r-word is actually a pretty easy crime for men to get away with and they literally constantly do. Like, _constantly._
@@AddBowIfGirl 21st century, not only still happening, but still has men who'd rather speak on false claims, when we need them to SEE most reported sex crimes happened. And to the woman.
Yet in most rapes, no one is convicted...
Dude sheriffs and police are super stupid. I think anyone who blindly follows orders instead of using logic in their decision making is a stupid waste of a human being and brain…. U have no idea how often and daily horrible crap happens where females lie to the cops or judges and they instantly believe and take their side. When I was a little kid i witnessed cops take and arrest my dad over a straight lie. I witnessed her threaten him with lying and everything
This movie made me hate life. I was SO angry and frustrated throughout the majority of the film. It's like watching *A Walk Among The Tombstones* again with the acceptation that I loved that movie and it only made me question life. Nah. This one just made me want to jump off a building.
Bro i feel that, i just finished it and holy fuck. It’s 7am and i don’t wanna go to bed. I’m just thinking about how shitty life is. I despised that she got away with everything in the end. Fuck this world i’m so sad and empty right now
People who didn't like the ending of this movie shouldn't really watch many David Fincher movies. Or from now on when you do expect a twist or something like that at the end. It's what makes almost all of his movies great.
You sound slow. The ending of Se7en is so epic and crazy, so you CANNOT use that excuse for the ending making almost no sense, I think Fincher is top 10 all time, but c'mon this movies second half fell apart.
If you hated the ending because you wanted him to leave her, then it would defeat the whole purpose of what the movie was trying to illustrate. Some would argue marriage needs to be taken more seriously, as nowadays divorce is a common theme. Although, in the movie she went to the extreme to save their marriage, in my opinion, it does remind us about the passion and commitment we should have before making this commitment.
Loved the ending. Sure it was very dark, but it stays with you and that is what the conclusion of a film should do.
i think the ending was perfect
i was setting in my seat for like 5 minutes looking in nowhere after the movie finished and thinking ( what just happened !!) then i snapped!! .. it was a great movie
oscar please
يحيى الشهري sitting*
So you would like your wife to fake her own death, convince people into thinking you killed her and kill someone just to save your marriage?
Ethan Harrison Your missing the point.
When the twist came my mouth literally dropped open. Was not expecting that and I'm so glad it wasn't spoiled for me
Laila Ismail omg thank you all these people saying they didn't like the ending but its what made the whole entire movie
This movie is so f*cked up...
Lil JOV why?????
The way that Amy toys around with Nick's life is so messed up and in the end he is basically forced to stay with her.
Amy's runaway had 2 phases, the first phase was a masterplan( cause she had enough time to plan for); but the 2nd phase when she runs to Desi, is not convincing cause that needs an IQ over 200.
Abou the ending, well that's the point; that's the starting monolouge when Nick says "when i look at my wife i wanna know what's she thinking of"; and then we watch the movie and we realize this statement deeply.
+Lil JOV yeah , but i enjoyed it
@@rm4n277 It the book it's more convincing, desi has a bigger role in the story from the start.
We get to know how extremely Amy actually is, though her thoughts.
I'm not allowed to talk about my favorite David Fincher movie. Sorry. : /
Yea me too
My 8th grade science teacher referenced Fight Club a couple days ago.
Why can't you talk about Zodiac?
Cabbage
Rmunroe95 Shame on them. Apparently they don't know the first rule of Fight Club LOL
It's sad that reznor's score is rarely mentioned in reviews.
that's right, it's freaking amazing.
Yes definitely! The score makes the whole movie - well not all of it obviously but it wouldn't be half as nervewrecking as it is ... even during the endcredits : it maintains the creepy/crazy feeling and made me stare at the screen for 5 solid minutes!
THANK. YOU.
This is my favorite David Fincher movie
This movie is Awesome whatever you call it. lol Best Movie of the year to date
Yeah, gone girl was insane!
Absolutely, categorically, definitively not the case.
Not better than Interstellar
2014 was fucking awesome: gone girl, interstellar, birdman, whiplash, nightcrawler, chef, edge of tomorrow, boyhood. Best year for movies since 1994
No way dude. It felt unsatisfactory. Tragedies work well only if they feel wholesome, this one just isn't. Only because it had Fincher as it's director is the reason why people praised it.
you know what would make me happy? had ben affleck wear his fucking robot batman suit then send amy to oblivion
Bro yessir
My favourite Fincher movie is Fight Club, also one of my all time favourites
I think it's the best movie ever made.
Hamster Whopper It's great but I've seen better. Not much better, but better nevertheless. Not a lot of films that are better but some definitely...
Am I the only one who didn't like fight club and hate the ending of Se7en (but liked very much the rest of Seven).
I think the best Fincher movie is The Social Network
guys, shhh... you're not supposed to talk about it...
This movie was good, very well acted, very well shot, but the story just made me sooooo fucking frustrated.
You just replied to a four month old comment

Another TTGL fan here. Whats that about needing a Bluray? I found it in BD quality online.
@@BustlingKiwi So, it's not too late to state an opinion or give some thoughts. It's 2022 btw. lol
How did Age of Ultron get a higher rating than this?
he is an idiot sometimes
+Kartikaye Prasad nah it's just his personal preference. No need to be an asshat.
because Ben Afflect wasn't in Age of Ultron
Because muh cape kinos
Whhhaaattt? Seriously? 💀
I'm sorry but I have to get this off my chest after watching this movie. I just finished Gone Girl and I have to tell you guys why I empathize with Nick.
SPOILERS
At end of the movie, I feel sympathy for Nick for now having to life with this psychotic woman for the rest of his life. She lied and set up false evidence to get revenge on two men in her life. Yes Nick cheated on her, but he didn't deserve to die for it. He even said he was going get a divorce, and they were going to live their separate lives. But Amy had to frame Nick for her murder for what he did to her. I do genuinely believe that Nick felt ashamed for having an affair with a younger woman. Also, Nick's sister really does love him. You can tell that she doesn't want her brother to have to live with a psychotic woman for the rest of her life. She breaks down at the thought of the person she cares for the most living in constant fear. It just goes to show how close she is with her brother. Nick is so lucky to have a sister who unconditionally loves him, even though he lied straight to her face about the affair. I literally cried when Margo said "I was with you before we were born." At the end of the movie, Nick now has to play along with Amy or she is going to get him arrested again. The film really made me hate Amy, because she got what she wanted. She used media bias, and societal view on men in the relationship to get even with her husband. Amy got America to view her as a sweetheart who is getting abused by her husband. To conclude, I really do sympathize with Nick, because if he doesn't go along with his wife's plans, he will go through all that again.
Congrats, you watched the movie. What's your point?
Also, Nick isn't staying because Amy would turn him in if he left, he's staying for his son.
TheMightyWill I think the big thing to point out though is that Amy managed to manipulate their situation into getting Nick to stay with her forever now. It's because she is pregnant that Nick has to stay with her but he also knows that staying with her is a constant struggle with fearing death for himself
TheMightyWill Also the guy above didn't have a point, he said that to get it off his chest and stated his opinion about the film.
Axel Reigns That's the whole point of the ending. I'm not bashing on OP or anything, but that's like me writing a huge paragraph summarizing the end of Pulp Fiction and saying I'm getting stuff off my chest
TheMightyWill Yes but he also gave his opinion after stating the summary of the ending which was the point of him getting it off his chest
This movie will be stuck in my head for a looong time. Haven't seen a movie this gripping and intense in a while. Awesometacular for me!
I'm so happy for Rosamund Pike! She's a highly talented actress and finally getting the recognition she deserves :)
(SPOILERS AHEAD)I thought the movie for the most part was done very well but the plot fell apart as soon as the bitch came back covered in blood. The police would not have let murder slide so easily after her story was filled with so many holes. For starters, the neil patrick harris character lived FAR AWAY. Ben affleck had to take a plane to see him. All the feds had to do was ask friends and coworkers where neil was on the day the bitch went missing and poof goes her story. I'm also not buying that she could hide out at some camper hotel and the girl she is friends with doesn't recognize her from tv because hollywood thinks if you put on glasses and dye your hair you automitcally look like a completely different person. Oh and those two that robbed her would have found out eventually come forward for an interview and said how she was not kidnapped and there goes her story again POOF! In the end I just take it as a tale of be careful who you marry.
Neil didn't live far away, at one point in the movie I'm pretty sure that he said that he was only a few hours away. He took a plane to see the lawyer and I guess the transition from seeing the lawyer to visiting Neil's character wasn't clear enough. Also, we don't know what happens after the movie ends. She could very well end up being investigated by the FBI and the people that robbed her at the camper place could also end up putting the pieces together and coming forward. Also, she changed her hair, put on an accent, changed her clothes, and wore glasses, which could very well be enough to fool a couple of local idiots. They expected that the girl they were seeing on tv was dead, they weren't exactly looking around for her.
tak4e4 2 hours away to be exact
MrCodeman93 Yes, exactly :)
(spoiler) pretty sure there some alibi on that "kidnap" morning for her "kidnapper", there literally camera everywhere and pretty sure he quite an important chap to be missing from his office/homeCamera/internet!! heck yea, he seem to be very into internets, that could have check his log or history
(damn im pissed after watched the ending >:(
Not to tell you to read the book, but since I read the book before the movie I didn't catch that, but I see your point as to how she's going to get away with it, let me just say there's another character in the book that is not in the movie and you just know that the FBI believes her. And he didn't live far, he actually when to the search center in the beginning
i absolutely loved this movie. i believe that rosamond pike's acting was great. her american accent was pretty on the dot and just in general she really felt the character's insanity.
I'm a southerner and her southern accent was good. Just wish she'd kicked the ass of those two cabin neighbors and gotten her money back. Her money.
The thing I absolutely love about David Fincher is that he always brings the very best out of his stars. Especially his female stars! Look at Rooney Mara for The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo, Jodie Foster for Panic Room, Taraji P. Henson for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, and now Rosamund Pike for Gone Girl. I LOVE THAT!!!!
Gone Girl is... Awesometacular.
God, that pisses me off. This is one of my biggest gripes with Jeremy, that he tends to save the awesometaculars for comic book or action movies, and not for dramatic movies. And holy shit, I don't understand your audience. "They immedietly just walked up and left the movie room" like really? That was not a movie where it ends and then you leave. That shit had me and my friend like...fuck. That was a crazy experience. I feel like you just took it lightly, like "oh, time for a drama movie I gotta go review, I just wish it was another comic or Christopher Nolan-type movie." I mean, nothing wrong with those kinds of movies, but it seems like you only sit for those types of movies, nothing real and emotional because my god, this film had me and definitely didn't let me go, and despite the length and lack of usual action (by the way, this film is so great, when someone just gets pushed down or up against a wall, you FEEL the impact of the head hitting the wall, and shit is so intense you hear gasps from everywhere) I wanted to see more and more.
Just, PLEASE could you take these movies more seriously? Because despite it's little random flaws, it deserves an awesometacular. While I wouldn't give it a 10, I'd give it a 9.8/10.
True. But 9.8? Lol just give it a 10. :)
WOAH NICE i gotta see this Movie.. If i saw this in a theater it would be fcking impressive... I havent seen many Drama and Violence movies in the theater yet because I am young and i dont go to movies so much. But yeah gotta see this movie.
Saw it this morning. There were about 30 people in the theater. Everyone in my theater left immediately as well, because not a single person left to go to the bathroom during the movie. Even the people who ended up not liking it were still glued to their seats.
TheBirmanator People didn't like it??
***** But why can drama movies be my thing, and comedy movies and comic book movies and action movies also be my thing?
This is why I like Jeremy's videos. He makes great movie reviews in a relatively short space of time and still makes it detailed.
I have never never been so damn angry about a damn movie like I was when I watched shity damn gone girl, Ben and Rosamund killed it, but the story it self is sooo fucked up on so many levels, I really wanted to see her on the death row at the end of the movie but damn it
So the movie succeeded
Abood Abuzarqa Thats how you know they did a Great job with the movie and the actress played her part.
Indeed ... a waste of 2 hours, let alone the emotional impact of that bitch woman, with an unsatisfactory ending.
Jeremy! Please do a spoiler review on this! There's too much crazy not to!
Gone Girl: The Dark Knight of mystery thrillers.
This was straight up the best movie I've seen in so long, it wow'd me back in 2014 and it wow'd me just the same when I saw it again last night.
It really grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. Also I loved the length of the movie, I know I didn't look at my phone or watch to see how much time passed as I was too engaged with what this great movie was displaying.
Keep doing good work Jeremy!
I'm between Se7en and Fight Club.
I watched Gone Girl yesterday, and it was really good! Well acted and directed!
I'm going to be honest, I hated the ending, The whole movie is a built up for justice, and you don't get justice, you just get a clusterfuck ending with no pay off for audience. This is how i felt, not saying everyone should feel like me. SOME May find the ending appropriate, but as a law student, i hated the ending.
Yeah I hated it too. Amy wasn't this Keyser Söze mastermind. She left clues everywhere and the detective just gave up. I know that people see a deeper meaning of marriage in this movie but for me this was like watching version of True Detective where instead solving the case Matthew McConaughey gave up, took a shit and went home.
I think that it would have been unrealistic for her to be caught. She had planned and executed everything so very perfectly that her being caught would been spontaneous and out of nowhere just so that she could get caught. You would have to trade realism and reason for justice, which I would not have liked.
Dasaun McClinton my friend you are talking about realism with knowing the fact that legally you cannot get away with murder by claiming rape. especially a rich person. there werre a lot of loopholes in this movie. Realism would be if she was trailed for it.
Dasaun McClinton For example the security tapes clearly would show that she came at her free-will at the Desi Collings house much later than she was supposedly been abducted. That would have raised some red flags.
She didn't just kill him for rape. She made it seem as though she was trapped there, that he raped her and was likely going to kill her. The setup she created was to give the illusion that murdering him was the only way to escape. And on the legal side, yes, if they believed the facts it was clean. It's called self defense. For example, a spouse is justified in killing an abusive spouse if they believe that their life is in danger, this is a common legal precedent. The scenario that Amy had setup was even more defensible than this, he had a history of stalking her and she did a believable job of creating leading evidence. Further it was believed that he seriously injured her in the past.
3:12 I cant stop replaying that moment lmao he'd make a good crab.
me too hahahahahaa
HAHAHAH! I actually see it too :)
Lmaoooo
"Favourite David Fincher movie ever"
FIIIIIGHT CLUUUUUUUUUBBBBBB
FIGHT CLUB FIGHT CLUB FIGHT CLUB
FIGHT CLUB!
~
I also like The Game because The Game was practically the first Alternate Reality Game, which woudl later insprie techniques used in the viral marketing for Cloverfield and Super 8, and even Gone Girl has allusions to what The Game did.
you aren't supposed to talk about it!!!
Yeah yeah.... old joke is old
(have you even watched it? :p )
I was going to say I liked Fight Club... like... alot (his name is Robert Paulson!)
But I was also goint to be all movie buff and say that The Game was the first Fincher movie I saw at about... I wanna say... 15???
And I LOVED it.
The marketing campain was awesome for its time on the fledgling 1995ish internets, even if the pages took about an hour to load, and when I got the chance I hopped it to the nearest decent theater (an hour's train ride at the time) to see a triple, and this is the only one of the 3 that I can definatly say I saw that day... I think one of the other might have been face/off, but The Game stuck.
I still enjoy popping in the DVD now and then.
But then I saw the "read more" part of your comment, and saw that you also liked The Game, so, I won't... lol
Se7en???
I thought the twin sister was running this show for me. I couldn't get enough of her!
Her acting was great, but I thought Amazing Amy's part was a slow down point and felt boring compared to what Ben Affleck was going through. But yeah, everyone did their role great!
Where is JeremyJahns Q&A part 2!?!! You promised it but it hasn't happened yet!! Great review BTW.
Fight Club and The Social Network. Especially Fight Club! That movie is my prime inspiration to become a writer for movies. i started writing a fan made prequel to it! I never do fan made shit for movies.
You do realize fight club is based off a book, right?
System Overload And your point is??
This Lazy Nigga I'm just saying that you made it sound like the movie was the creation of the story when there was a book long before that's all.
System Overload That is true but when writing the script they couldn't put everything from the book and might've taken some creative risk.
Favorite Fincher is definitely Zodiac.
What I found so remarkable about Gone Girl was that I liked the movie despite being unsympathetic towards (and let's face it, in some cases, downright hating) some characters. It seemed like every character in this movie was an asshole for one reason or another except 'Go. Not from a performance standpoint, the performances were great, just the characters themselves.
Oh my fucking god this movie. The ending left me wanting to kill myself and that fucking Amazing Amy in the worst way possible.
+Karan Vir Singh The ending was unrealistic in my opinion. No one would stay with a manipulative serial killer who literally faked her own death and kidnapping in order to ruin his life just because she got herself pregnant. I get that the ending is supposed to be frustrating but it was just unrealistic. Especially since he had already been having an affair.
Sterling Ross- If your going to give away spoilers, then you should start with SPOILER ALERT so that you don't ruin the movie for all the rest of us who are actually thoughtful of others.
CARTOONIVERSE1 I'm so sorry I ruined the ending. It was cruel of me. I'll regret it for as long as I live. I just hope I'll be able to live with myself.
hahah XD
I felt that too, I loved the movie all the way up until the ending. It made me mad lol.
Dude,it's been over 100K subscribers and 5 fucking months. Where's Pt 2 of your Q and A?
SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you are you agreeing with me or no?
No i'm agreeing.
Oh okay then. I thought so,just making sure.
Don't know why people don't like Tyler Perry. I hated seeing the non stop barrage of "Madea this" and "Madea that" but then I watched a Madea movie and it was really good. Halleluyerr is what I say.
just no....
Johnny Boy
Just yes.
You can't say no it's opinion
Evan Kaye Doesn't it mean I have to bow down and agree with his as he doesn't with mine. To me Tyler movies are one of the worst comedies ever but if Fuzzland likes them well more power to him. Me personally I just don't enjoy them at all.
Oh god....no......just........no.....
Please tell me you're trolling, PLEASE!
this movie was unreal! just brilliant from start to finish! i really think the wife in it should be up for an oscar nomination she stole the show!
I personally loved the ending and this just may be one of my favourite Fincher movies (my favourite being Fight Club followed by Seven)! Can't wait to see it again!
My favorite is definitely Social Network. That being said, I love everything else he does
This is the smartest statement I have ever read on UA-cam. I know that's not saying much, but still :-)
Aquarius Kane Because his favorite is social network?
So the first time I had ever seen Fight Club it was when Cinemark's Classics were showing it on a Sunday. I thought it was just a really good movie based on what I heard and knew the classic line, "You do not talk about fight club." Little did I know that within 20 minutes in I had never loved a movie so much in my entire life. I stayed until the end of the credits and as I was walking out of the theatre I was shaking my head in disbelief. That movie changed my life. No movie has had a more giant impact on me.
So yeah my favorite David Fincher movie is Fight Club.
I had the same feeling a few years ago when my parents showed me Star Wars Episode V... so much awesomeness... and I´ll watch Fight Club tonight!
For me top 5 Fincher is
1. Zodiac
2. Fight Club
3. Gone Girl (yes i loved this movie that much)
4. The Game
5. Seven / The Social Network
I agree with your #1 pick, Zodiac was a fucking great movie!
7 was G...but just by a little, between all his best, Zodiac is TOP
I like Zodiac most by its performances, I don't like the movie itself. For me:
1. Fight Club
2. Gone Girl
3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
4. Se7en
5. TCCoBB
I haven't seen The Social Network or The Game yet.
In middle of this movie around 1 hr in I was so indulged in it that I joined my hands🙏 and prayed to my almighty God to never end this Masterpiece... Ever!
The scary thing is I dated someone who I was reminded of when Amy starts monologuing exactly how she framed Nick for her murder. I legitimately was like "oh my god my ex-girlfriend is a sociopath".
I cannot talk about my favorite Fincher's movie
yeah there are still rules
the radflick good man.
No one is asking you anyway.
@@warriormanmaxx8991 cool story bro
THE PREGNANCY TEST COULDVE BEEN FROM THE NEIGHBORS PEE! OMG!!!!!!!
I didn't get that part? couldn't the doctors or whatever tell that the pee wasn't from Amy's DNA?
Axel Reigns thats what i thought!!! and search history? form looking up how to basically fake your own death
Axel Reigns you can't do a DNA test from pee
Ali oh really? why is that? is there like no traces of DNA in urine or something?
Axel Reigns urine is 95 percent water the other 5 percent are various minerals and inorganic compounds. If it's pure urine it should be impossible to do a DNA test if skin cells got into the urine somehow it might be possible but it would sill be extremely difficult.
I saw this movie last night and I was about to say that was the best movie I've ever seen until the last 10 minutes because I hated the ending and I could have easily made a better ending that most would have loved
While I kinda would agree... I think forcing a particular ending (and I know the kind of ending I, and a lot of people would have liked) would have removed the true meaning and intention of the story.
Been following JeremyJahns, when he had about 10k subscribers..so happy too see him doing good at 600k..cant wait him to celebrate the 1m subs. He is the best. Cant wait to see Gone girl btw.
Congrats on being voted best youtube movie reviewer Jeremy!! I don't know if the poll is still going but at the moment ur number 1!! Ur videos are awesome :D !!
This was a great movie, one of the best of 2014, I haven't seen any other movie illustrate a part of relationships that could dramatically get out of hand this well. The events that unfolded, albeit slightly unbelievable, are still very much holding up a metaphor that is as true as can be.
Oh my gosh I dont even know where to begin! I just got out of the cinema and I'm still SO excited about this movie: it had me (and my neighbours) grasping for air from the first third on! Seriously, I've been cuddling my coat throughout the whole movie!!!! I seriously think this is the best Fincher movie I ever saw - even though his take on the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo also (partly) killed it!
+ definitely an AWESOMETECULAR for me!
Rosamund Pike was in The World's End! She was amazing in that.
She was also in Jack Reacher, thought she did pretty great in that.
Check out Barney's Version. Rosamund Pike is great in that.
Kevin McConnell Agreed. I thought I'd seen her elsewhere before. That was where... :/
They never explain why Amy's parents look like they didn't care about their daughter missing.
Fight Club is my favorite!!
.-)
It was my favorite until the cinema last night. Today its gone girl.
Critics seem to agree: Tyler Perry was great in Gone Girl.
Tyler Perry was always a good or okay actor he just star in his own movies or bad movies that are poorly written and directed
Johnny Boy You can say that about a lot of actors. If you put bad actor in the hands of a good Filmmaker odds are that Filmmaker is going to bring the best out of that actor. That why most award winning Actors prefer to work with good Filmmakers than Bad ones.
Who cares he's not the highlight of the movie so why are you even bringing him up he said he did good that's all
But the ending... the ending! Argh!
(spoilers)
Maybe I wouldn't have minded it as much as I do if it was handled slightly differently. In the very end the guy seems... okay with it and there this twisted sense that everything that happened 'saved their marriage'. I would have preferred a greater sense of impending madness and despair on his behalf, I didn't get that from it. Probably because I thought the gimmick of having them stay together (the way she orchestrated it so he couldn't leave her) was unconvincing. He could and should have left.
One other thing that bothered me is that none of the characters are likable. Personally, I need at least one character to like and to root for and this movie didn't provide that for me.
But you can tell she is lulling him into thinking she is nice. That scene where he is sitting with his cat, staring at the door. I will never forget.
I liked the Tyler Perry character. As much as he was a guy who was in ti for the money(and fame), you could tell he genuinely cared a bit for the case, and summed it the core relationship in the movie with one perfect line.
As for the ending, you have to bear in mind that the movie is a satire of the romantic comedy, as well as a deconstruction of the runaway wife story, and ultimately, a movie that seriously asks questions about long term relationships.
I feel like if he would have left she would have tried to kill him somehow because he never went to jail?
if he left, well..... actually its hard to guess what she'd do if he left. Thats what was so frightening about her character - it was too unpredictable.
SPOILER ****Worst part other than the detective in the end deciding not to do her job no more is :
No cops noticed they got an "anonymous tip from a neighbor" yet they can clearly see the call came out of state. She was like in Louisiana and called Illinois
One of the best movies I have ever seen!
Lol really
blogfirstlast He's not lying, easily the best film of 2014
blogfirstlast Seriously. It's one of my all time favorites. My mind was blown. FINCHER!
Revitalize THANK YOU!
I agree with you. It was fucking perfect.
Your review was very well put!! I could really relate to what you said about feeling like you were the detective. Very nicely said. I enjoyed this movie so much I couldn't even tell it was that long cause I was so intrigued the whole time!!
THIS is probably my favourite Fincher movie. Still can't wait to see what he does next!
Tyler Perry was solid in this, but it's not like it was a very challenging role. He didn't show up til about 3/4 of the way thru the movie and even then, he didn't have to do much. There are a lot of other actors that could've played the part. Other than that, I pretty much agree, for the most part, with the rest of Jeremy's review.
And my favorite Fincher movie is The Social Network. Although, I haven't seen Fight Club since I was much younger and had a completely different perspective and taste in movies.
Se7en was an amazing film...but so was Fight Club...but so was The Social Network...but so was Zodiac...you see my problem.
I'm still waiting for David Fincher to finish the Girl with the Dragon tattoo trilogy.
Is the movie really that good? I just read the Title "Gone Girl" and thought it was a "Romance crap".
Not even close to a romance movie...did you watch the trailer?
jayhartRIC No, I saw the title an thought "skip it"
Wasn't expecting a murder Mystery, might check it out.
Yeah, you better check it out.
Its worth every penny. If like seven fightclub an the social network. I highly recommend this film. Again its worth it!

I just came back from watching it and I think it was awesome. There are so many plot-twists in there that it really keeps you on edge all the time. It truly puts the "psycho" in psycho-thriller. Haven't seen a movie like that for a long time. Would recommend!
"Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" is my favorite Fincher film... :)
LOVED this movie though-the book was also great!
The social network is my favourite david fincher film. Also my favourite film.
Me too! Until I saw Gone Girl. Its crazy.
Seth Mecklenburg Seeing it on Tuesday. Can't wait!
Not seen it; I should...
The ending had me like,.... Really Nigga?
I'd tell you my favorite Fincher movie but I'm not allowed to talk about it
Finally watched this movie today, once again reaffirmed why Fincher is one of my favorite directors
Great review. But what's going on with the part 2 of Q&A?!?!
Favourite David Fincher movie... Probably between The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Zodiac
Zodiac because robert Downey jr hahahaha
I still gotta see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I couldn't watch it at first because it had too much rape in it, but since then I've seen significantly worse films like 120 Days of Sodom, A Serbian Film and well that's about it...
Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo is one of my fav' I wish he would make a sequel
Johnny Boy watch the original Girl with the dragon tattoo. It's subtitle in three parts but it is awesome. Check it out on Netflix it's way better than the American version.
Zodiac is my favorite David Fincher movie.
Just got back from watching "Gone Girl".
Favorite to least favorite Fincher movies.
1. Zodiac
2. Fight Club
3. Panic Room (Sony WTF release this movie on blu-ray)
4. Se7en
5. The Game
6. Gone Girl
7. The Social Network
8. Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons (Boring)
9. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Not a fan of remakes)
10. Alien 3 (Yeah I'd rather R. Scott's or J. Cameron's movies)
So I haven't seen Zodiac yet, but it seems from the comments on this post that I should.
Someone watches Chris Stuckmann reviews...
Amanda Townsend
for what it's worth I'm a huge Fincher fan and I hated Zodiac, I personally felt it was his worse
Benjamin Button was an amazing flick.
I also loved Se7en and Fight Club. It seems like all his films are masterpieces from what I've seen.
Not exactly a remake The Tattoo Girl movie, but you´re right it´s lame and the swedish one it´s by far superior...
So is Gone Girl better than Prisoners?
At least I didn't guess who the killer was 10 minutes into the movie like I did for Prisoners, so yes, Gone Girl is definitely better; no doubt.
Prisoners is better by a mile, gone girl was a huge let down for me..
Both awesome movies, IMO.
A bit yeah, but Prisoners is still great. Gone Girl's got a better plot though, but that wasn't the focus of Prisoners. Prisoners was more like a character movie whereas Gone Girl is more of a character-driven story-focussed movie? So yeah they're essentially artistically different but Gone Girl's slightly better...
I love Prisoners but Gone Girl is phenomenal. It's my type of movie.
I live 20 minutes from Carthage, MO, and they were even mentioning things that I had heard of happening in the area. (Like the Godspell play). That helped the experience so much.
I just watched the movie and it was freaking awesome. The twists and turns really did keep me attached, I didn't even notice how long it was. Also Pike went to Oxford she was a perfect fit for the role. The twist at the end like whattttttt! I'd give it a 7.5-8/10 really enjoyed it
I know most people are gonna answer Fight Club, but for me it's 100% The Social Network
Iam one of my favorite movies
jeremy you have to revue the AVGN movie, your the only reviewer that can do it any justice in 5 minutes or less :D PLEEEEEEASE
justice to the review....not the movie, that would be insane not to mention impossible lol
Are you going to review
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor?
LOVED this movie.. Didnt feel long to me because I was engrossed the whole time and most amazing is how many times it couldve ended and been satisfied, the ways the story couldve gone and still been satisfied. But yes I loved it... everyone is at the top of their game in this.
Fight Club is favorite Fincher but Se7en, The Game and Fight Club are top shelf.
This very well might be my favorite Fincher film now. This guy just keeps getting better and more masterfully subtle in his craft.
The first half of this movie was amazing in my opinion, especially the scene where the wife reveals how she set up everything, it should have ended there. The last hour imo was pointless and only got you angrier that he didn't tell anyone about the true plans and intentions of the psycho bitch. But truth be told this should have been called "Don't Ever Piss off a Woman: Hell hath no fury". Realistic or not, how Affleck responded to the situation I couldn't have kept quiet about the truth no matter what. Which frankly pissed me off and caused a 2.5 hour movie.
please let people know this has spoilers
Its based on a book so it has to be faithful to it.
aiken relkins Or, people can use common sense and stay away from comment sections that discuss the movie before watching it.
Wtf was he going to tell people? My wife is trying to frame me? That only make you look more suspicious, not less.
i never watched the movie and i thought it was her lolol, i guess i figured out the "plot twist"
Seven 10/10
Zodiac 10/10
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 9.5/10
Fight Club 9.5/10
The Game 9/10
Panic Room 9/10
The Social Network 8.5/10
Curious Case of Benjamin Button 7.5-8 / 10
Alien 3 4/10
+Nikodimos Triaridis based on his tastes of crimes, mind-twistings i supposed he gave a 9 for it
+Trong Back Yes I'd say a 9, regarding this genre
This move was great but the ending sucked. I think any cop or investigator or anyone with common sense who watched this film would laugh and say ya right. She would be going to jail not going home to take a shower at the end. Way to many holes in this story. If the ending was different I would give it a 9 but with the terrible ending I give it a 3.
Loved it all except the ending. There is no way in hell I'm staying with her. Baby or not. Id find a way later to get custody of him.
It kinda felt like AI where you like the movie up until the ending and your emotions change. Fun to talk about tho.
can someone tell me if there was an end credit scene because I waited to see but nothing for me
Saw it last night and really liked it. Unable to talk to most about it without spoiling. Thanks for posting. Enjoyed your review. Didn't give anything away.
i usually love movies where the bad guys win...but amy...god i hated her so much. i loved the book/movie, i just really hate her. more in the book than the movie. SPOILERS. i wish nick had just left her. What is the point of being in a marriage where your wife knows how to manipulate you and you have no freedom. All your dreams are now your enemies. I wish the ending was different. I wish she did kill herself or she was arrested. Im sure there were flaws in the book/movie. there is always flaws when a movie/book seems too perfect. i understand why nick stayed, i understand the deep meaning of the plot, i just still wish nick left or amy was ruined. in the book, it pissed me off when she had the final say.
YES to everything you say... when the book ends I'm like funk she had the last word and what she says just stays with you ..... WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO????
If he had left her, the press would swarm him all over again, especially so soon after her return. He would turned into a villain again and his wife would have been able to do even more damage because the press would automatically be on her side. I think that it was smart of him to stay with her.
the press could also see as it amy was too traumatized and couldnt handle the marriage. he could just put the blame on her. but i think he should have done that way before she tried impregnating
herself
Actually he couldve beat her and left cause he wouldve had himself, his sister, the lawyer, the ex boyfriend, and the detective coming to his defense cause they knew truth.
Favorite David Fincher movie, SEVEN.
I'll go tomorrow and see how Gone Girl levels up against SEVEN.
Geno52 *se7en
same thing.
Geno52 well no, cause thats the actual title of the film
:P who cares. Seven- Se7en. you still say it the same.
2 interstellar trailers you need to review jeremy
Saw the film yesterday, haven't read the book. Watched this alone and discussed it with my girlfriend who read the book. She told me that at the end, she goes back to him because she feels she does truly love him but black mails him to keep him by her side. It didn't feel like that in the movie. Would anyone who read the book care to elaborate on this?
the intro scene & ending scene
are the same scene
in the movie
Animated demons- better than Annabelle.
Fight Club, Gone Girl, & Se7en
SPOILER * i hated how the ending just sucked , there was no ending , it was just like ..YUP WE ARE DONE u can go home now ..i wish they made a cliffhanger or like tease an open ending and show what if she wasnt lying abt the "my husband might kill me " part and he was actually trying to kill her
agreed, the ending pissed me off the first half was great though
SPOILER I'm glad it ended that way, the movie was already too long and it came to a point where it was going to a completely different direction, that said, it could also lead to an unnecessary man vs woman debate depending on whoever 'won'. The second half was when the film actually revealed it's true face, the most cinical Fincher movie so far.
It was a good, but annoying ending. The guy was forced to stay with her cause she had his baby. I know I was rooting for Nick to win and for Amy to get what she deserved, but sometimes things don't go your way.
I agree, it was one of the worst movies I had ever seen.
In the end I wanted to cry for nick! It was sitting there saying "no no no not like this, after all that not like this!" all I wanted was for him to snap and snap a neck or for the cop to take her to jail or something but nope! But let's talk about the elephant in the room...... He was great in this role, so freaking awesome even... But to be Batman..... Can he do it
since you did gotham and arrow, please can you do a review of the flash season premiere
I was curious if maybe you could start to put the ratings of the movies (g, pg, pg-13, R) in the description box or something so we know? Thanks so much and love your reviews!
