Gone Girl

Getting good reviews so far. The wife wants to see it and I'm avoiding the spoilers. Am I gonna be pissed?

It's David Fincher. This is a must-see for me. Se7en is probably one of my all-time favorite movies.

Edit: I just came across this on Facebook:Why David Fincher might be the best director in Hollywood today

Saw it, and if it was directed by anyone other then Fincher I would have hated it. It looked and felt like a Fincher movie and man can he get actors to act to their maximum. The woman liked it more then I did, but it was a solid 7 for me, she would have given it a 9.

It's really hilarious yet fitting that Fincher picked this movie, because it's literally the female version of Fight Club.

My brain cannot process this.

Totally worth going to the movies for, great acting all around and one hell of a ride.

All around amazing. Loved the sound usage for certain scenes, and the soundtrack overall definitely enhanced the experience.

I give it a 6/10.

I went ahead and read the plot synopsis for the book on Wikipedia. Kind of a messed up story.

Great movie. I had no idea what to expect coming in.

I hadn't read the book and knew nothing about the plot outside of the basic "Wife goes missing and husband is accused of murder" angle. I think David Fincher is a bit of a genius filmmaker, so I went to see this on his merit alone and was not disappointed. The acting was superb, the plot shifts caught me off guard and the atmosphere of the film was pitch perfect. After watching the film, I read that spoilered synopsis on the first page and it really just doesn't do any justice to what you'll actually experience -watching- the film.

9/10 for me.

All the guys giving it high reviews, what are your thoughts on

So after reading all the reviews of how well Fincher did with the material, I'm almost tempted to go see this.

Anyone here read the book AND seen the movie? I hated the ending of the book. Will I hate the movie or is it worth going to see because of Fincher?

I read the spoilers of the book and I'd say the ending is close enough..

I haven't read the book, but it sounds like it ends rather similarly. So you're probably not going to change your mind there.

However if you're a fan of Fincher and his style, this has his fingerprint all over it. Worth the price of admission alone, for me. Elsewise, if I were you, I might wait for the disc.
