"The Social Network" could end up defining this generation. It was witty and over the top where it needed to be while still being able to show the "sensitive" side of a boy who really just wanted to create something "cool". While the movie"The Social Network" could end up defining this generation. It was witty and over the top where it needed to be while still being able to show the "sensitive" side of a boy who really just wanted to create something "cool". While the movie ends with Zuckerman searching for friendship, he ended up creating the greatest social networking site ever. It is interesting to think about what today's world would be like without Facebook. Also, Sean Parker's role in the creation of facebook was somewhat unknown until now and while the movie did take some creative liberties it is interesting to see the dynamic between Parker and Zuckerman. The best part of the movie was actually the soundtrack (an amazing job down by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails), which ended up making each scene that Mark Zuckerman an intense thrill ride as he took on the system and later on his colleagues. Overall a job well done.… Expand

Sorkin went over expectations and brings a three-way point of view story telling making it all into one and at the same time making it flow as very smoothly. This film can easily draw audiences in by presenting a simple plot that people are familiar with and showing one of the greatest events that there is in story making. And that is the rise to power. Eisenberg does a great job of showing his struggle with power, backstabbing, and moral obligation. It runs a very intelligent course and provides the audience to make its own decisions between right and wrong. "The Facebook Movie" has a deep perspective into this complex story and is perhaps one of the greatest accounts on a true event story of our time. This will certainly be mentioned later in the year during the awards season, but I believe that even beyond the awards season, it will not be the last time we hear about the brilliant story telling of The Social Network.… Expand

He knows just how to play this kind of character, he did it so well a few years back in "The squid and the whale" . In my opinion this film is, in many ways, the perfect film: great cast, great dialogue, plenty of character development and above all exciting.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People kept telling me this movie was overrated... Maybe they were right. It was great. It was entertaining, interesting, and full of attractive people. I think the trailer somewhat misrepresented the film by making it seem like their Mark Zuckerberg's life leading up to Facebook was a total party when in actuality, he has 2 drunk teenage girls over as a result of Sean Parker in one scene.

Besides the trailer, the performance by Andrew Garfield was phenomenal. Watching his attempts to deal with his best friend slowly screwing him over makes you want to jump out of your seat. His expressions were perfect. Did I mention that he's extremely attractive?

For that matter, all of the performances were great. The scenes were well played. Some of my favorite scenes in the movie (possibly my favorite scenes in a movie ever) are when Eduardo slams Mark's laptop down in the end and says, "You better lawyer up because I'm not coming back for 30%, I'm coming back for everything.", the look on their faces when they both get blow jobs in a public restroom, and Eduardo walking in from the rain to see Sean Parker making the Facebook crew into a drunken joke.

I enjoyed it. It was memorable. The use of montage was awesome.… Expand

This isn't the last we will see of Jesse Eisenberg. He has proven to be a good actor and is much more multidimensional then we could have ever imagined. . He has solidified his place in the film industry and I'm excited to see what he will be working on next. The dialogue keeps the audience enthralled at all times, and it never seemed to drag along. The depiction of college life was fairly accurate, but often fell short. Even if you are the most counter-cultural person alive, you would appreciate the quality of this film. I must stress that this isn't a film about how great Facebook is, its an epic story of a young entrepreneur, fighting for a place at the top, through any means necessary.… Expand

What weThe accuracy of this film to true events is a matter I have heard being discussed lately but also one I deliberately chose to ignore. I accepted this film for what it is: verisimilitude, somewhere in between fiction and non-fiction. What we are left with is a captivating story with substantial characters and engrossing on-screen interrelationships. A scene which really made in impact on me is the opening scene with Jesse Eisenberg's and Rooney Mara's characters. Jesse Eisenberg's dialog immediately shows him to be an intelligent but socially inept person perfectly introducing him as a questionable character. Questionable because throughout the movie I was asking myself: is he arrogant or ignorant? Is he really the anti-hero or is he easily led, unaware of the emotions of others? The sequence of events is sometimes non-linear, especially so in the beginning section but I found interpreting the different scenes involved me actively in the movie and was refreshing.
This was a movie about a phenomena that has touched every one of us (even those who don't have Facebook know what it is!) and, even though some may debate about whether it really tells the tale, it was a brilliant movie, entertaining and inspiring.… Expand

Outsmarting the smartest in unconventional ways - ways older people would have deemedAn excellent film displaying the spirit of the innovative 90s and 00s, or the whole era in which the internet was relatively new, for that matter. Outsmarting the smartest in unconventional ways - ways older people would have deemed ridiculous -, driving on the force of young people and their inventiveness - it's just a few of the things that make this thriller-like business film as brilliant as a film could be.
An unlikely protagonist offers unlikely and interesting plot twists, but the story remains completely believable. It starts off slowly and slightly unappealing by all its nerdiness and talk of technology, but quickly advances into a intriguing game of chess with some players highly skilled, some absolutely worthless, some pointless, some believing themselves to be the best. Sharp cutouts to the lawsuits being discussed were what kept the film refreshing and puzzling - right from the start, the viewer ponders over what may have caused the betrayal that triggered one of the lawsuits, and even at the end of the film, viewers are left puzzled over the protagonists' true feelings about it, as he had been hiding them under the sheets of a Big Bang Theory-esque mentalness for most of the film. Summing it all up, The Social Network is the brightest and best fitting movie if it comes to the subject of the 21st century, ever since the world entered the year 2000.… Expand

Truly, you won't find a better emotional core to build a drama around than the relationship between best friends Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). That bromance is the heart of The Social Network and the film kept getting close to this emotional territory but then it would crash like an overloaded network and flit to other characters not important to the main story. The thing is this movie is a biography that makes the whole film so special though its a little mess story, if only this film made with some flavor of fiction it will be more nicer though I still prefer the real events of course. Overall excellent dialog. Superb directing job by Fincher and a very good score. And for the record I don't watch film that is purely dialogue parade, and here is the one entertains me well.… Expand

The Social Network dwells more on the effects of Facebook, rather than being 'The Facebook Movie'. It pays off well. The actors give inspired performances and masterful direction by David Fincher gives the movie an edge of its own.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Social Network is a brilliant biographical drama. It's based on the true story of Mark Zuckerberg and the creation of Facebook (which you may have heard of), and the tensions which arise amongst the people around him as a result of the site's creation. If you're looking for a historically accurate depiction of Facebook's creation, you may want to look elsewhere. The facts surrounding the creation of Facebook were heavily distorted in order to create a compelling screenplay ('Erica Albright', the girl who inspires Zuckerberg to create Facemash at the beginning of the movie, doesn't even exist in real life). Nevertheless, the distortion of facts can be overlooked in this case, as the screenplay will still keep you hooked from beginning to end. There are no glaring weaknesses in any other area of this movie. Fincher's direction is simply outstanding. The score is fits the movie well. Almost every character is perfectly cast, including Eisenberg as Zuckerberg, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, and even Justin Timberlake as the pretentious Sean Parker. If you're looking for a fully accurate storyline, then The Social Network may not be the movie for you. Even so, I'd still recommend it to anyone who enjoys good movies.… Expand

Of course, since then I've explored the work of David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin, and I'm a huge fan of both of them. So it's not surprise that I definitely am still a fan of this movie, and I think I enjoyed it even more now that I understand some of the concepts discussed throughout it better than I did back then (I was 13 when I first saw it). Story: The Social Network is a tragedy. It's about the creation of Facebook, but really it's about Mark Zuckerberg starting out as an a**hole and failing to change his ways by the end. Viewers aren't meant to like him, and in the end I almost felt satisfaction when he had to pay out huge for settlements and was still left without any real friends. Still, it's also impressive just how intelligent his character is and what he is able to accomplish with his coding skills. Script: C'mon now, this was written by Sorkin...so of course it's written very well. Zuckerberg's dialogue is the most impressive part of it, unsurprisingly, and the opening conversation of the movie could be shown to someone and they'd know everything they need to know about his character. Acting: Solid acting from everyone involved, with Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield being the standouts. I can't really see anybody else playing Mark Zuckerberg other than Jesse. Cinematography: Nothing crazy here, but it is shot well for the kind of movie it is. I particularly enjoyed the opening set of shots following Mark as he navigates though the college campus. Overall:This isn't the kind of movie that you watch if you're looking for a feel good or action packed story, but it is still very much worth watching.… Expand

Timberlake didn't do too badly, a little bit too much hollywood but overall an assured performance to finally rid him of his childhood acting hoodoo. The best acting performance came from Andrew Garfield, who's realism rebounded off the screen through both his happy times and jealous times. The twins were annoying but that added an almost villainous effect to their personalities. The directing was impressive and the screenplay was excellent. It was able to put across the dark undertones of the internet's favourite invention. It was a good film but I'm still not sure what the critics find so 'mesmerizing'.… Expand

Aaron Sorkin brings the same level of intelligence here that he brought to the West Wing, crafting a full-bodied and tension filled script that, while occasionally a bit too-clever for its own good, is ultimately a master class adaptation of the source material.

ThisFirst off, this is a good movie. It's entertaining and the content, plot, pacing, and characters are done very well. All of the actors do their roles well, from the petulant Winkelvoss twins to the clipped tones of Eisenberg's Mark Z.

This said, this movie is pure fiction. I have worked in Silicon Valley, and yes, at Facebook as well. This is NOT how Mark Zuckerberg acts in real life. He is an extremely driven individual and he is focused entirely on changing the world.

The movie seems to make it seem bad that MZ gets annoyed at people that aren't as smart as he is, but honestly, this is the real world. If you're a CEO of any company that succeeds on a large scale, you have to manage your time INCREDIBLY judiciously. You do not have time to listen to whiners or complainers or people who just aren't going anywhere. It's harsh, but you don't get to the top by wasting time. Of course, the feel-good Hollywood types abhor this sort of reality, so they demonize Mark for it.

Besides the fleet of colloquy, the film shines by the creativity of Finscher and Sorkin who compensate and make up for the perpetual irksomeness that emanates from the stereotypical, hackneyed prepsters, who feel numb as they wallow under the guidance of cinematic grandeur. ----Verdict: Everything barring the characters themselves is abberantly special.… Expand

I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was alive, Mark Zuckerberg has ever said so. But it was unbearable, they made it anyway. The next question is: who on earth is Zuckerberg? The Movie based on the 2009 book by Ben MezrichI just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was alive, Mark Zuckerberg has ever said so. But it was unbearable, they made it anyway. The next question is: who on earth is Zuckerberg? The Movie based on the 2009 book by Ben Mezrich THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES: THE FOUNDING OF FACEBOOK, A TALE OF SEX, MONEY, GENIOUS AND BETRAYAL. Yup, the movie is about people behind the birth of Facebook, the most massive social network in our generation. In the first half of movie depicts how Zuckerberg is blogging and programming and finally ends up with launching The Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room. Someone told me, thiz movie was all about suing. Well, I think she is right. Substantively, the second half of movie is emphasizing who is the real creator of Facebook through some legal processes. Anyone can sue anyone, the question is whether he would win. There are three important characters in thiz movie. First, Jesse Eisenberg who has been in ZOMBIELAND (2010), now played as Zuckerberg, fully equipped with his slipper. Personally, I think Eisenberg sometimes talks too fast and delivers a stiff mien. His performance is just apparently adequate. The second, The Pop Star Justin Timberlake brings a precise adept and dominant charisma into his character as Napster founder, Sean Parker. The last but not the least, actually it is the best performance for overall, comes from our next Spider-Man (2012), Andrew Garfield. Garfield gives a complete emotional package for his character, a friend and new enemy as well, Edurado Saverin. Subjectively, the book ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES was advised by Eduardo Saverin himself, without any involvement from Zuckerberg side. So the point of view is fittingly one-sided. The ending of the movie itself is stagnant and flat which I am kind of surprised. Thiz movie comes from one of my favorite Directors, David Fincher. Almost half of Fincher masterpieces have a smart and twist ending, just like what we found in SE7EN (1995), THE GAME (1997), and one of my favorite movies of all-time, FIGHT CLUB (1999). But on second though, I think it is already maximized anyway, considering thiz is a biography. In the end, if you asked me: why Zuckerberg and his Facebook? Why not Bill Gates? Or anyone else? I think I can see something here. One vital element that they did not get and Zuckerberg had it. It was controversy. Controversy makes things more attractive. In these days of technologies era, whoever has the ability to conquer the internet, it is simply being God himself. Visit My Blog on JONNY'S MOVEE: http://jonnyfendi.blogspot.com… Expand

Yes, it is a good drama about the founding of Facebook, but what is moreI had heard so many different things about this movie I had no real expectations going in..but after seeing it, I have to say I am still not sure how I feel about it. Yes, it is a good drama about the founding of Facebook, but what is more important is what it says about today's culture of narcissism and self importance in our youth and that scares me. I immediately recognized Aaron Sorkin's writing style based on years of watching West Wing. It is the same here, very fast, witty at times, and with Fincher's direction the movie moves along at breakneck speed. Those things don't make a best picture nominee in my mind. I didn't care for Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Mark Zuckerbery, but not knowing the man, it might be spot on. He has the least dialogue of all and we are supposed to understand what he is thinking by the blank expression on his face through most of the movie. I did like Andrew Garfield's portrayal of co founder Eduardo Saverin and thought he did the best job in the film. The soundtrack annoyed me, sometimes so loud I couldn't hear what the cast was saying. I hope this film isn't a true representation of what really occurred, because if so, Mark Zuckerberg is one neurotic young man..It left me with too many questions at the end.… Expand

This is a movie with amazing acting and an amazing script. I'll admit that it's not all that exciting, but the fast paced script and I'd say Oscar potential acting by Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield it'll keep you entertained.

Firstly, I don't disagree that the Social Network is a fantastic film and more evidence if any where needed that Fincher is simply sensational in the art of storytelling and directing and in particular conveying his view on each story he brings to the big screen. However, I feel as though the film is overrated. The success it has for me is largely down to Fincher and deesrvedly so but I wouldn't say it was his best piece of work. The film tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg and how he went from beginning with an idea to building an empire in the face of Facebook and all the lawsuits that Zuckerberg was served with. This is shown through flashbacks. I'll grant you the film is engrossing and very well told and Jessie Eisenberg's portrayal of Zuckerberg is great but you would expect every last detail to be explained to the moon and back when Fincher is in town. But Eisenberg is upstaged by Andrew Garfield who is delivers a mezmerising performance as Zuckerberg's decieved best-friend its no surprise to see his stock continue to rise after his performance as Eduardo Saverin here. The surprise success of the film is Justin Timberlake. Ive seen some of the criticiscm of Timberlake and his depiction as Ben Parker but I thought he was shockingly awesome in the role. The film is a real eyeopener and without doubt a fine film which showcases Finchers unquestionable ability and although I couldn't disagree that it is one of the most hyped and critically acclaimed films I just feel that it failed to meet the expectations and was ultimately left wanting more from the film.… Expand

The opening scene literally invites you to a bumpy ride of a movie.
While the movie has some great actors in it & it's production is big; the movie seems (just like it's 'competitor'; "The King's Speech") - OVERRATED.

I think it was the best movie in 2010 besides Black swan.

Probably wildly inaccurate and exaggerated in places, as is with most Hollywood re-imaginings of real controversial timelines. But, Eisenberg is as brilliant as ever, and the rest of the cast are decently solid.
