Very jarring and dramatic, and extremely fast in terms of pacing. Overall a very interesting story to witness about the creation of Facebook.

I saw some parts of the movie on the internet before watching it.It took my attention a lot. When I looked at the cast and the storyline,I said that I would definitely watch it. To be honest,I didn't expect this much. I thought I would get bored when I saw the movie was two hour. But I didn't realize how two hours passed while I was watching. The script was very well fictionalised.The performances of the actors are amazing. Andrew Garfield might be the most handsome actor I have ever seen. Before I watching the movie I thought Eduardo Saverin was bad. After I watched the movie and did some research, I actually found out that Mark Zuckerberg has let his partner down by reduction his shares. Normally, I'm not interested kind of a movie like that but this movie got full marks from me. There are some parts that I don't like but apart from these it was a successful movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is fantastic, but it is drawn out much more than necessary. The acting is amazing, the writing is magnificent, but the side-by-side storyline of the legal dispute and the creation is extremely unnecessary and confusing. Not only is it unnecessary and confusing, but it also ruins the way the movie is perceived. The flow of the movie is disrupted by the swapping of time period rather frequently, never allowing a scene to truly blossom and provide genuine entertainment. The only scene that truly seems to stand out is when Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) confronts Mark (Jesse Eisenberg) in the office. For some, this scene is the only reason to watch the movie. The acting is phenomenal, but this movie falls short on several levels. Despite this, this movie is extremely successful and there is certainly a reason to watch it. The rewatch value is nothing crazy, but certainly feasible for movie nerds. Overall, a fantastic movie that started the 2010's biopic kick.… Expand

With an intriguing concept, it is for me one of the defining films II heard a lot of promising things about The Social Network. And you know what, I agree with the positivity this film has received, for it is my idea of a modern classic. With an intriguing concept, it is for me one of the defining films I have seen recently, one of the best movies of 2010 and relevant in its themes of greed, betrayal, class tension, friendship and loyalty and concept.

Production-values-wise, The Social Network looks wonderful. The cinematography is incredibly skillful, and the editing is crisp. In fact, I'd sure The Social Network is director David Fincher's most stylish film since Se7en. I have heard a lot of mixed feelings on the score, while it is not my favourite of the year not like Toy Story 3, King's Speech and Inception, The Social Network's brooding, smooth and quite sexy score is very memorable and fits well with the film's occasionally quirky tone.

The Social Network is very well directed too. Fincher directs with an intensity and focus that makes The Social Network tied with Se7en as the best of his movies in my opinion. Another strong point is the screenplay which is very smart and sharp, while the story making the most of this intriguing concept is constantly snappy and engaging.

Also, all the characters are very well written and assembled, for me they are among the best-written characters in a Fincher movie. It also helps that the acting is as impeccable as it is. Jesse Eisenberg is very commanding as the titular character in a subtle sort of way, while Andrew Garfield also impresses as the "voice of reason" character. I was surprised in a good way by Justin Timberlake, while the weakest of the three leads, he does have a cocksure swagger here that he actually pulls off really well.

In conclusion, a wonderful film and one of the best of the year. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

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

And I like other genres than the mystery/suspense genre. But THE SOCIAL NETWORK is not for me at all. This film feels longer than it is. It has too many lenghts. It's too chatty and overdialogued.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mark Zuckerberg was a teenager when his father spent thousands of dollars on a private tutor to learn coding. He is not special or a prodigy, he was born on 3rd base, but talks like he is self made. This is never addressed in the film, but anyone could be him if they had rich parents and an ability to steal other people’s ideas with relative impunity. I don’t know if it’s Jesse Eisenberg or the character but this movie is nearly unwatchable. “Must see” I really don’t know what movie these people were watching or how it received all the acclaim it has. The characters are mostly shallow, the situations seem like they were dreamed up by middle school children imagining what going to Harvard must be like. The pretend intellect is painful to watch. I loved the west wing and was expecting something as good, I got this movie instead. It was hyped beyond belief, to a point it was extremely disappointing. Mark Zuckerberg is not a genius he is a spoiled rich man child and this movie is all about that. Its like watching a cyborg try to relate to humanity and it’s torturous at best. He constantly does things that are wrong, and only benefits from being a morally bankrupt person. To this day, he is a man child and an evil human being, because he has never faced a real consequence or actually worked for anything in his life. He is a thief and watching someone steal for hours is only fun when you are watching Oliver. I will say Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake surprised me. They brought the only real acting to the movie, but couldn’t save it. I was so excited for this movie, I didn’t see it when it first came out but wanted to. Now, I wish I hadn’t because I imagined a much better and more interesting film in my mind.… Expand

The film is a technical masterpiece on every level and is so rewatchable that it delightfully seizes your attention from the moment the first scene comes into focus. The "Social Network" is a movie that thrives on the beauty of each scene and how they are masterfully edited together to provide a piece of art that fits together like it's the world's most satisfying puzzle. The movie begins with a simple scene between Mark Zuckeberg, played masterfully by Jesse Eisenberg, and his fictional girlfriend Erica Albright, played by Rooney Mara. The beauty of this scene is how naturally it sets the tone for the movie, the motives of the main character, and how the music score is attention demanding as it is in every scene in this movie. This scene shows us that Mark is a man that desires social respect from people over anything else. The opening bar scene between him and Erica displays how he thinks intellectual achievements should lead him to all what he thinks will bring him a most fulfilling life: fame and success. The "Social Network" shows how this ideology can lead to us losing our closest friends in the vast and complicated web that the social experience can be. The movie gets its heart from the character Eduardo Savron played by Andrew Garfield. Garfield's emotional portrayal of this character is so gripping and relatable that it now seems like a crime that his performance was not met with an Academy Award for best Supporting Actor. The back and forth dialogue between Eduardo and Mark are some of the best parts of the movie. These scenes not only show the brilliance of the screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin, but also the Oscar level performances given by Eisenberg and Garfield. The performances in this movie don't stop there, though, since both Hammer and Timberlake give very solid performances as the Winklevoss twins and Sean Parker respectively. The Winklevoss twins symbolize the privilege and status the Mark wishes he had while Sean Parker symbolizes the attitude that Mark believes he needs to have to get there. These characters are pivotal to developing Mark's journey for why and how he soon becomes the youngest billionaire in the world. What makes the "Social Network" truly special is how it takes such a simple story and turns it into must watch cinema. The score is consistently blood pumping and masterful throughout the entire movie. This fast paced score, combined with the rapid editing and dialogue take a simple story and make it a heart pumping story of the societal pressures of being "cool". "The Social Network" is David Fincher's first masterpiece and it relies on his direction. The direction he takes with this story combined with the master class technical aspects make this movie one of the best pieces of cinema the 21st century has seen.… Expand

Of course, like anyone who was young in the past decade, I also succumbed to Facebook's hypnosis and I still have an account on this social network, but I confess that I haven't been there in months and I haven't spent much time there. This spell that Facebook, and all other social networks, could have on me has long since lost its effect. Today, and I will be very honest in what I am going to say, I see no reason to spend hours stuck to a social network, putting likes on posts, commenting or talking to other people. Now, let's talk about the film itself.

The film is not bad, but it is far from being something I want to see again. The plot addresses the process of creating and developing Facebook and the legal struggles that Mark Zuckerberg faced after that. Directed by David Fincher, it is quite weak in its task because, as it happens a lot with films based on real facts, it creates a new fictional story over real people. I know this is cinema, creative freedom is part of cinematographic art but, as I said in a lot of other reviews, there are logical limits to that freedom when dealing with real people and, worse, people who is still quite... alive.

The cast has a lot of easily recognizable names and most have made a very positive effort. However, not everything went well. The way the characters were thought was what most irritated me. If some are stupid teenagers, others are opportunists, and there are still a lot of smart **** There is virtually no character we can like and that blocked my interest in what I was seeing. Thus, we have Jesse Eisenberg in the shoes of Zuckerberg, but in such a negative way and with so bad material that the character is inedible. He is a complete jerk, unable to capture the audience's sympathy. Dakota Johnson, Max Minghella, Rooney Mara and Joseph Mazzello try to help, however they have little to do, once the film is delivered to Eisenberg. On the positive side, we have the good performances of Andrew Garfield, who gave life to Facebook's first CFO, as well as Justin Timberlake, who was very good in his role too. Armie Hammer surprises by giving life to twin brothers in an impressive and realistic way.

Winner of three Oscars (Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Song), it is technically a capable and decent film but not impressive. It has regular cinematography, sets and costumes and, despite the prizes, the soundtrack did not impress or attract my attention.

Honestly, I don't even understand the visibility given to this film. I don't think it justifies it, and maybe it was very stimulated by advertising and the media (convenient for the social network portrayed, isn't it?).… Expand

Part of this is likely due to design, but I can’t help to retract myself from the highest laudations that the film receives. I think Jesse Eisenberg does a great job and truly embodies the role. His performance is what I think of when I think of Mark Zuckerberg. However, his character deters me from the experience. Zuckerberg is such a narcissistic self-absorbed jerk that I can never look to The Social Network with the mindset of, “I’d love to experience that again.” Zuckerberg is so manipulative and cocky and remarkably intelligent, that you can’t help but secretly root for his failure. The thing is, Zuckerberg doesn’t fail, he comes out on top. The good Samaritan doesn’t always succeed. Garfield, Hammer, and even Timberlake all give good performances and in a way are foils for Zuckerberg’s character. The club scenes in this and Fincher’s other works are well-shot and authentic and the sound design is well scaled. I can’t add anything new to this movie’s praises. I admit it’s a great movie and is especially well written, but it is also remarkably off-putting to me.… Expand

It forgoes trying to tell the actual story of Facebook in favor of a tragic story of the deterioration of a friendship, and it’s all the better for it. This film would work just as well without the Facebook element. It manages to be both entertaining and intellectual, easily accessible yet interesting to dive into, the best of both worlds. A must-watch not just for film fans, but for everyone.… Expand

The Social Network is a flawless character study of the famous CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. The film tells its story brilliantly in a non-linear fashion. The groundwork of the film is set by introducing its conflict first. Then using this established conflict to branch off into to the tale of how Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, made enemies and destroyed relationships all in the name of success. Jesse Eisenberg plays the roll of Mark Zuckerberg perfectly. He gives an incredibly realistic performance which is able to capture the many nuances of the character as the film progresses. The film is also filled with amazing performances from the likes off Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Rooney Mara and Armie Hammer. But the clear strength of this film is its spectacular dialogue written by Aaron Sorkin. So many scenes in this film have some of the most realistic dialogue ever written. Each line of dialogue sounds a conversation that could legitimately happen and it makes each scene that much better and memorable. Overall this is a brilliant film with an incredible cast of characters, realistic dialogue topped of with amazing direction by David Fincher.… Expand

The Social Network is obviously no exception to Eisenberg's acting style, but unlike most of his roles, he is actually perfectly suited to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. His performance, and that of his co-star Andrew Garfield, do much to make this film stand out.

The other thing that helps is, of course, David Fincher's directing. The way the story has been pieced together by the script, the direction and the editing makes the film feel fast paced despite there not being a single action scene in it. There are even times when the movie moves at such speed it becomes a bit difficult to actually grasp things. Real tension is created by shifting the story between the hearing scenes of the present and the things leading up to the hearing in the past. It makes the movie feel almost like a thriller. Other than that, the source material gives little for Fincher to actually do.

Overall, it's a very stylish and polished production with some nice foreshadowing and great dialogue. The music is mostly beautiful, sometimes annoying, and the film features great drama and tension.… Expand

The Social Network

Fincher is dancing. And boy what a dance this is. So flamboyant and confident in the jibber jabber-ish of the tech world. Yes, this is how it would sound like to others. But this is not narrated by some average writer, Aaron Sorkin, the game changer of the screenplay writing, is in charge of these real life characters. And with director, David Fincher, the time jumps from back and forth to weave out an engaging drama in their tech-y mundane world, that actually thrives on the dorm room, unofficial chats rather than online ones or even the court trials. Your friends are thrown out like some bizarre avant garde idea while creating a website.

The stabbing in the back comes involuntarily and the exhilaration a part of the game, but amidst this game of sacrifice- not of their own but other's, elimination is a way to success, breathes the film, or so it seems on the surface- the romance to make us groove with the momentum of these characters is lacked out by keeping them distant and dry of emotions. Yes, it is practically an apt depiction, but it should have been more unbiased to make us fall for this unknown backstage world.

Staring arrogantly with no empathy in his face, Jesse Eisenberg deserves the respect that he pursues so blindingly in the film. Call me childish, but I was drawn to Andrew Garfield's victimized character. In a virtually statistical world, where there is nothing or no one to actually root for, it is comforting to see Garfield broken and humanized in his porsche black suit. On the other hand, Justin Timberlake comes off disappointing where these major league players are hitting home run after home run, this is the kind of The Social Network Fincher wants you to log into, so give him your password, he is not a fraud.… Expand

The soundtrack is pretty unique and it elevates the film to a whole new level of enjoyment and complexity.
The editing was masterful, and jumping back and forth between the present during the first act was a really intelligent way ti make the story move forward (despite not being something new).
Everything in the film felt organic and authentic, from the characters to the situations they go through.
The Social Network is definitely David Fincher's best film to date, and I doubt anyone would ever be able to reprise what he created together with Aaron Sorkin. If you haven't seen it, go watch it, it can teach you one or two things about life.… 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

It's incredibly dark, even during the day. It's as if I'm watching the movie with dark-tinted sunglasses the entire time. The screenplay is undeniably Sorkin. Conversations drag on for extended periods of time, often losing track of their main focus. It's clear there was some sort of disconnect between Sorkin and the director because Fincher just can't keep up most of the time. The music is annoyingly painful most of the time. It does nothing new within the ambient genre, neglecting original performances for a neglectful, dark atmosphere. Like the film itself, it is overrated.

Acting wise, Jesse Eisenberg does a great job, but only because he's playing what he's good at: himself; the nervous, meticulous, obsessive, socially-awkward nerd who thinks academia is what's most important in life. Everyone else is so incredibly bland, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no effort involved whatsoever.

Concerning the subject, the general idea is correct, but the specifics are muddled. I'm sure Sorkin realized halfway through writing how uninteresting sitting in front of a computer and creating Facebook really is, so he focused on the only drama throughout the entire experience: lawsuits. Unfortunately, they're handled poorly in the film. I have to wonder if it isn't fact-based, then why exactly is it focused on Zuckerberg and Facebook? I've come to the conclusion it was decided to use a much more overly dramatic, fictionalized view of the events and center it on Facebook because it sells. And my does it sell.… Expand

The Social Network is a masterpiece, with superb writing and incredibly flawed but compelling characters. Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher do an amazing job of turning a fairly uneventful real story into an incredible drama. The soundtrack is phenomenal, creating a darkness and tension overlaid with sadness. One of my favorite aspects of the movie is that it creates essentially no "likeable" characters in the traditional sense. All of them are either arrogant, or self absorbed, or simply rude. Even Eduardo, who is perhaps the most redeemable character in the film, acts childish at times and is overly cruel to Mark. This element of the film reflects real life, especially in an environment like Harvard, where everyone is brilliant but kindness is harder to come by. Everyone in the film is flawed, creating a movie where you aren't allowed to simply be distracted by a charming and lovable character, and instead must focus on the writing, the direction, and the acting, all of which are top of the line. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I think it will remain that way for a long time.… Expand

Jesse Eisenberg plays Facebook creator Mark Zuckerbeg, who attends Harvard University and decides to create an innovative social networking site where people can easily stay in touch. Andrew Garfield plays his closest friend Edwardo who is promised to be in on the business, but their friendship is tested to the extreme as the success of Facebook grows.

I cannot help but feel the only reason this movie is so highly praised is because Facebook is the main subject matter. Anything Facebook related, many teenagers or young adults will flock to see and will find some form of interest in the subject.

The first two acts of the movie, like I said, was frustratingly slow paced, there is nothing of remote interest going on here. Eisenberg and co do fine in their performances (Eisenberg landed an Oscar nomination), but I just found too many of the film's main characters to be cold and unlikeable, unless that's how all Facebook users are...which at times is true.

I cannot think of any real reason as to why this is such a masterpiece of a film, David Fincher is an exceptional filmmaker and Aaron Sorkin is a talented screenwriter, but the film didn't need to drag for as long as it did for the main story to kick in.

There are some good things in this film, but not enough for me to say that it was worth it or a must-see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Social Network opens with an extremely strong scene that establishes Mark Zuckerburg as a genius and somewhat of an **** while also introducing one of the major components of the movie–crew, or rather the twins that rowed it. We are also introduced to Mark's other lawsuit with his best friend Eduardo when he obsesses over final clubs, one of which Eduardo actually became a member of.

Mark's potential as a computer geek and as a successful person in general is really shown from the beginning with facesmash and the capability to really shut down Harvard's whole network. He does get hated but also gets found through this website. Women (understandably) are angry with him, yet he comes up with this amazing idea with the help of these twins. I was also particularly struck by his lack of interest with money. He had his own startups in high school, yet he "didn't sell it, uploaded it for free." Seems like someone who's just so enamored by these ideas that nothing on the business side even comes to mind for him. That's Eduardo's place.

It also doesn't even seem to occur to Mark that he might get in trouble for his actions. Does he even have consequences? Mark Zuckerburg is a very flawed protagonist. The truth is that he's just a real human being and we see the many sides of him and the many sides of the story. I couldn't fully sympathize with Mark because of the way he did act to certain people, yet I would find myself not sure if I was cheering for him or not because I truly understood each argument that the others were making. "If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook." Very true – Harvard Connection really was not the same thing and there was much gray area involved.

One thing that bothered me though was the way those two girls were introduced that Mark and Eduaro hooked up with, and Eduardo began dating Christy. But they treated them as if they were intellectually incapable yet they both attended Harvard. I sensed a thread of misogyny throughout that is unfortunately a part of the technology industry. (Again, this is something I would love to try to change in my life.) The movie had really unique ways to introduce new topics in a seamless fashion. One that I noticed the most was how we saw Sean Parker–the founder of Napster–and realized who he was just how that girl did. We really saw Facebook evolve as a company as the movie went on.

Something that really struck me was how this was a "once in a generation idea" which is actually probably true. Facebook has been so revolutionary in my life. I grew up before Facebook and it wasn't until my later years in school that this was really a thing so it's been amazing to see the exponential growth in social media, honestly instigated a lot by the success of this one website. Love it or hate it, it's revolutionary.

We ultimately see three people screwed out of this company and its fortune, all thanks to Mark Zuckerburg. They receive their settlements and life goes on, but I guess this level of success can't happen without such events as the damages that Mark did to his only real friendship here. "You're not an **** Mark. You're just trying so hard to be." -Marilyn Delpy (Rashida Jones) Now Mark Zuckerburg is the youngest billionaire in the world and no one can say that the things he did in this movie were not worth it for where he's at today, with over 1.4 billion users.… Expand

Justin Timberlake (who plays a creator on another social media hit "napster"), on the other hand makes his character look tip top in the script.

Website development as a blood sport - that's what it comes down to. The Social Network shows that, when pet projects are at issue, nerds can get as nasty and dirty as the most skilled backstabbers and double-dealers. The film, which is aWebsite development as a blood sport - that's what it comes down to. The Social Network shows that, when pet projects are at issue, nerds can get as nasty and dirty as the most skilled backstabbers and double-dealers. The film, which is a joint product of respected director David Fincher and equally respected screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, accomplishes its multiple goals: create a gallery of fascinating, fully realized characters; chronicle key events in the development and growth of today's most influential social networking site, Facebook; and explore the blurred lines that exist in the amorphous on-line environment where concepts like intellectual property are involved. The Social Network is rich with food for thought but the reason it captures the viewer's interest for more than two hours is because its story of friendship and betrayal is as old as traditional society and is presented with tremendous skill. You don't have to be a Facebook member (I am not) to enjoy what this movie is offering.

The source material for The Social Network is Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Billionaires. There are two notable things about the book, which is allegedly the distillation of countless interviews put into narrative form. The first is that Mezrich's primary source is Eduardo Saverin, so it is understandable that events are slanted toward his point-of-view (a fact brought out publicly by Mark Zuckerberg, who refused to cooperate with Mezrich). The second is that the acknowledgments mention Scott Rudin (one of The Social Network's producers), Kevin Spacey (an executive producer), and Sorkin, perhaps indicating that a movie deal was in the works before the book was published. That's how hot this property was deemed to be - the bigger Facebook became, the more intense the interest in the story of the men who created it and the controversy surrounding its birth.

The Social Network is structured as a series of flashbacks provided to illustrate testimony being given in depositions for two separate trials in which Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) was involved during the second half of the 2000s. Although the movie occasionally returns to the legal proceedings set in or around 2005, most of it is a fairly straightforward chronology of events that spanned the period from October 2003 through September 2005.

Eisenberg, one of those young actors who has existed just below the radar for several years now (he was the lead in both Zombieland and Adventureland, not to be confused with one another), deserves an Oscar for this dead-on portrayal of a temperamental genius. The role is ripe for caricature, but Eisenberg humanizes his character. Zuckerberg, whose recent media appearances have made him easy to dislike, is brought to life with sympathy and even-handedness. The Social Network does not shy away from the damage he has done to others, but it resists representing its protagonist as some sort of technological anti-Christ. Credit for this should be equally divided among the trio of Eisenberg, Fincher, and Sorkin.

Much will be written about whether The Social Network is unfair to the real Mark Zuckerberg, but that seems to me to be a red herring. This is a narrative feature based on a true story, not a documentary, so expectations of real-world veracity should be taken with a grain of salt. The character of Mark Zuckerberg as represented by Sorkin and Fincher is fascinating and his journey is compelling, involving as it does so many aspects of the electronic era human experience: friendship, obsession, big ideas, betrayal, and lots of money. This is the 2010 Oscar season's first drama to live up to the hype and expectations associated with it.… Expand

The movie is filmed beautifully and despite a generally young cast it manages to impress. Andrew Garfield was the character that impressed me the most from the crew because it seems like Jesse Eisenberg is playing the sarcastic nerd that he has played in Zombieland and Now You See Me. There is a lot of conflict in the film that I was completely unaware of before watching it, although it seems as though it may have been somewhat fabricated as some of the portrayed people have said. There is also a lot of points in the film where you feel that the cast are talking over you with computer and business language, but I was able to put that aside and generally enjoy the film.… Expand

Whilst the film has been criticised for toying with the facts for theatrical purposes, it is clear that what Fincher sees as the order of events leading to Facebook's inception tell an enthralling tale of greed, betrayal and friendship. Jesse Eisenburg and Andrew Garfield both give incredible performances that anchor the movie; you can take a real interest in these character's lives. Where TSN succeeds is in its dialogue, which was conceived by the brilliant mind of Andy Sorkin. It is fast paced, with every sentence leading to a new revelation, giving another direction for the story to be taken in. Enough is revealed throughout the film to engage you, however it is only in the last 20 minutes of the film where the emotional impact of the film's morals begin to resonate. I won't spoil it, but I will say that the ending leaves you wondering what really matters to us as a society. The best film depicting our technological generation and a modern marvel.… Expand
