Ben W @Username618 2d Even though I've said I won't review things I haven't watched all the way through, and this one didn't pass the twenty minute test, just to explain, why it didn't. So. If you want information about these people, look at a reliable source. If you want the zeitgeist, bottled to make drama, then - problems. Between tragedy and comedy, this is tragedy. Blackberry was a comedy, in this vicinity, that I recommend instead. Here, ... In order for me to feel the tragedy, I have to like - somebody - in the story. Otherwise, fatal. That didn't happen here. Everyone was saying facebook was a big deal, whereas my experience of it was: a website that appeared upon leaving uni, as a way to stay in touch. I don't think an internet noticeboard a terribly inventive invention. Twenty years later, still here? Yours, best wishes, B. See more Ian P @igp1984 2d The best movie of the last 20 years. I will fight you on that, too See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 A tense, intelligent biographical drama with an impressive pace for a story focused on legal battles. The biggest highlight is Aaron Sorkin's sharp script, filled with fast-paced and witty dialogue, paired with David Fincher's precise direction. Jesse Eisenberg delivers a great performance as Mark Zuckerberg, portraying him as a brilliant yet arrogant guy. It only loses a few points because the narrative leans so heavily into the characters' cynicism that the film feels a bit cold emotionally, but it remains an excellent watch. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 5 The Social Network is one of the best films of its era, driven by Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp screenplay and David Fincher’s icy, controlled direction. Sorkin turns lawsuits, coding, college ambition, and business betrayal into something that feels thrilling, framing Facebook’s creation as a story about ego, status, resentment, friendship, and power. Jesse Eisenberg is exceptional as Mark Zuckerberg, making him brilliant, arrogant, defensive, and emotionally closed off without reducing him to a caricature. Andrew Garfield gives the film its heart as Eduardo Saverin, making the betrayal feel personal, painful, and deeply human. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s cold electronic score gives the movie an anxious pulse, making Facebook’s rise feel lonely and ominous rather than purely triumphant. The film is sleek, intelligent, and almost flawless, a modern tragedy about ambition, isolation, and the cost of wanting to matter.

The movie explores ambition, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the complex relationships that can be affected by success. I enjoyed how it showed that creating something groundbreaking requires vision, determination, and hard work, but also comes with difficult decisions and personal sacrifices. The performances were excellent, and the fast-paced storytelling kept me interested from beginning to end. Whether you're interested in technology, business, or inspiring success stories, this movie offers valuable insights into leadership, innovation, and the realities of building a global company.

It makes lawsuits and coding feel like a thriller, and every scene pulls you in harder than the last. See more Read all reviews
