Fight Club (1999)
David Fincher’s 1999 anarchist satire. Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter. The film that gave us a reading test the audience usually fails.
Edward Norton
This archive gathers the films featuring Edward Norton reviewed at Master of Worlds: “American History X (1998)”, “Fight Club (1999)”, “The Avengers (2012)”, “The Incredible Hulk (2008)”, and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)” — 5 titles in all. Across these reviews the focus stays on how Edward Norton serves each story: the choices that make a performance work, the roles that anchor a film, and the range visible across different pictures. Rather than rank the performances, the collection treats them as a body of work worth examining. The list continues to expand as additional films are reviewed.
American History X (1998)
Tony Kaye’s 1998 Edward Norton vehicle on neo-Nazi violence. The bathroom scene with Avery Brooks remains the most powerful in the film.
The Incredible Hulk (2008) — Review
Edward Norton, Louis Leterrier, and the most underrated MCU film. Norton’s psychologically committed Bruce Banner. Tim Roth’s Abomination. At 8.5/10.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) — Review
Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber’s underrated Sabretooth, and the Deadpool handling that damaged the property for years. Split rating 9 / 0.
The Avengers (2012) — Review
Joss Whedon’s ensemble breakthrough, Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, and the film that proved interconnected superhero cinema could function at scale. At 8.5/10.
