This is a very good commentary. Fincher speaks eloquently (and with a fine dry wit) and consistently for the film’s runtime. There is very little dead air. In the track Fincher confronts much of what has been criticised about the film and why he did it. He understands the film isn’t very substantial. It is simply good B-movie entertainment and that’s why he made it. He discusses the many logistical challenges the film’s shoot presented. Surprisingly enough despite two entire discs of extras Fincher rarely repeats information found on them. He rather expounds on the many areas such as pre-viz and lenses and deepens our understanding of the advantages the technology gave him. The track is perhaps a bit too tech minded for the casual viewer, but for those interested in the technical details of a film, it should prove to be an absorbing and informative listen.

Like the others ahead of commenting on this track, I thought this was a fantastic commentary. In fact, I'd say this is one of the the best tracks I've listened to in quite some time. I didn't read this board ahead of listening to this commentary, so I was blown away that the screenwriter alongside David Koepp was William Goldman. And the moment he starts grilling Koepp on "the spec process", and the casting process, I knew this was going to great two hours in front of a DVD. Goldman and Koepp are clearly from different generations, but both have a great rapport, and both seem certainly admiring of each other's work (Koepp also wrote "Spider Man", and Goldman is an Oscar winning screenwriter, the man who wrote "The Princess Bride", "Marathon Man", and "All the President's Men."). This is a special track on a special DVD set, and highly worth the price of admission.

I found this commentary much more entertaining than the normally great David Fincher. William Goldman and Co are very chatty on this track. Its highly recommended

This track (feauting William Goldman) is one of the best commentaries ever recorded if you are wannabe screenwriter, Goldman is one of the most informative commentators I've ever heard. Really great track.
