The Social Network

I was fairly surprised by how decent this was. I was expecting it to be Harvard nerd triumphs allllll, but it was more of a commentary on society. It turned out to be fairly scathing of everyone involved, which I liked, because I'm a totally downer and I love depressing movies.

I'd say it's a good movie if you like movies that consist almost entirely of dialogue.

I absolutely loved this movie. I thought the writing was great, and I was so into it the entire time. I was also really into the characters. When my friends and I got hope we were searching around Facebook - we found Eduardo's profile.

I really enjoyed it - Jesse Eisenberg is great as Mark Zuckerberg (and such a git it's hilarious) and Garfield/Timberlake are very good too. Best of all is the script, which flows brilliantly right from the off, it's very funny at times with Zuckerberg's sneering putdowns. The only flaw I would say is the film just seems to come to an abrupt halt and perhaps the second half isn't as good as the first, but it's definitely worth seeing. Fincher/Sorkin deliver!

Something about the fact that a big budget production about Facebook has come into existence bugs the crap out of me. I mean it really shouldn't, but it just does. I'm sure I'll get over my irrational dislike of Facebook in time though and end up seeing this film.

If it's any consolation, the film is less than flattering about the co-creator of Facebook =P - and your misgivings are daft anyway, the film isn't so much about Facebook as it is about ideas and how the world we live in can be changed, as well as how lonely it is at the top etc. Facebook and its creation is just a convenient backdrop to these things.

It was a lame movie. I didn't even want to see it, but BJ did. I only agreed to go because we hotboxed the car before we went in, which made the movie watchable.

I thought it was an interesting depiction of how society connects and communicates in the digital age and the dialogue was pretty great.
Although I probably won't see it again, I feel like it's true that it kind of defines this generation.

I dig David Fincher. He's immensely talented, and ever since I heard he was making this movie I've been intrigued. Can't wait to see it.

I thought it was good. But definitely not the best film of the year as some people are suggesting. I'm even surprised by how much Oscar buzz it has going for it. A really well made film but I just can't get into something that has SO many unlikable characters. And also the whole time I was watching the movie there was this nagging thought in the back of my head about how close or how far this film was from reality. I mean, I *knew* aspects of real life were changed for the film such as the fact that Zuckerburg had a long time girlfriend prior to creating facebook, who encouraged him throughout the development of facebook and who he is still with today. I know real life facts are fumbled around with for movies, but typically this happens looong after the actual events of real life.

It was a little weird watching a movie completely distort certain elements of a persons life when that person is quite capable of walking into a theater and seeing the distortion for themselves. Weird.

It's just something I couldn't really get out of my head when watching the movie.

[Shlup]

I agree, it is quite weird that this movie is about events within the last decade. The guy is our age for Christ's sake. Imagine there was a movie about stuff in your life in 2003. Such an odd thing to do.

[Hollycat]

I really want to see this movie alot!

It was ok. I was interested and entertained through it, but I don't see how it's generating Oscar buzz or getting a wide following.

The more I hear about how inaccurate this movie is, the less I like it. It really paints Zuckerberg in a much worse light than what actually went down. How is it legal to do this without his permission? I guess he doesn't gain much by bringing a lawsuit but it's kind of messed up that the movie people embellished this much on a story that happened 5 years ago.
