I think it's a superb film – easily David Fincher's most mature – and have seen it (both theatrical and director's cuts) at least half a dozen times.

One of Fincher's few "better than half decent" efforts.

The only Fincher I don't think is excellent is Panic Room

I couldn't call any of his films "excellent", but he has done some decent, if flawed, watchable flicks.

Now I think about it, probably only Panic Room and Fight Club* are truly crap. The Game was extremely boring too, but quite well made. Even his dreary remake of ...Dragon Tattoo had some moments.

I must catch up with The Social Network and ...Benjamin Button though.

ahhh, just watching ENTER THE NINJA... its hilariously brilliant. The acting is in the main shocking but Nero, George & Kosugi keep things ticking along nicely! Thank god they are all in it! The story is deranged, the execution verging on cheesy, and the violence level pretty high. I love it!

Oh and the score sounds like its been lifted from an episode of Magnum PI

Both decent but flawed.

I loved them both a lot when I first saw them, but the gloss wore off with repeated viewings.

Agreed. He seems to be one of those directors I've 'grown out of' - remember counting Se7en and Fight Club among my all time faves around my late teens. Saw Panic Room at the cinema and loved it. Now I can't be arsed to sit through any of em . . .
