Saw it last night, thought it was really good. The guy that plays the bloke that founded facebook put in a really good performance. Justin Timberlake is a shocking, shocking actor however.
Very good film. Interesting how Facebook all started, and that parts people go to when it comes to greed. Never knew that the Napster man was involved with Facebook.
If you are a fan of dialogue in a film and can bear to watch something that doesn't involve explosions or anyone getting beat up, then go and see it, it is chuffing excellent.. Don't get tied up in the title.
If you are/were a fan of the West Wing, then you will particularly appreciate it as the screenplay is by Aaron Sorkin (sp?) who devised and wrote most of that show, whilst David Fincher is an excellent director.
Thought good, but not great. I've got young kids, so haven't really seen films for ages, but if this is one of the films of the year, must be a weak year. Not bad at all, but not special for me.

That's about right. It's good but nothing special. Personally, I find it hard to believe that Zuckerburg is really like he is portrayed in the film.
By the way, the film is called 'The Social Network.'

actually with Sorkin (screenwriter) you need to see it a few times to catch every line as the dialogue is so quick if you watch it over you will find their are actually a few good jokes in it. Love that film in my top 5
I thought it was OK but not as good as a lot of the critics would have you believe. Certainly not a patch on some of the films I have seen over the last year such as The Kings Speech or Toy Story 3.
I wonder what some people were expecting from a film about how facebook was created. Maybe Bruce Willis swinging from a rope, kicking some camera out of a man's hand and shouting "Tag THIS!"

I'm definitely not a fan of Facebook but I found the movie completely gripping.
Well worth a watch.
Mark Zuckenberg isn't Steve Jobs but I've seen him at a seminar and he's certainly not as bad as the film made him out to be.
Wall Street is crap though
