Beautiful, well directed, well written film that's not getting the public attention it deserves. Through the eyes of many - it's just a Facebook movie. When it is in fact, not. But rather a narrative of the loss of friendship, and the development of a social structure that shaped the way we communicate today. Heavily underestimated film with fast dialogue and an intriguing plot. Is it real? Who cares. Everytime I watched this I forget about Facebook and the fact that Zuckerberg was a real person. This is the story of how his friendship shattered. Very ironic, great performances and impeccable direction. One of the DVD's in my collection I am actually proud to own.Anezka
coral_ck, +1.I liked "The Social Network" a lot, but when I googled the facts mentioned and found out that they were mostly made-up, my admiration lessened a bit. It is strange that Jesse Eisenberg looks like Mark Zuckerberg. Why care about appearances when you distort the main plot?
Maybe if they had pretended that the movie is not about Facebook at all, and had changed names etc, it would have been more... honest (and the movie would have been less popular).

I'm disappointed that it appears no one has done any actual investigation on the true facebook story and doesn't seem to realize that this is a nearly complete work of fiction. The characters are intriguing, but keep in mind nearly completely fabricated. The worst part of this to me is how easily everyone seems to feel authenticity about the entire thing. Don't get me wrong it's a great story and I did think the movie was well made, but I immediately had to check to see how much of it was actually true!Fariboles
The Social Network is not a movie about Facebook,this movie is how Mark and Eduardo relationship ended up.The actors are brillant,Armie Hammer just won a award,Rooney Mara will play in the next movie of David Fincher. You should watch the bonus of the DVD and see how Andrew G. and Jesse E. are really good.
One scene proves that TSN is one of the most perfect movie of the decade : The row scene with this new version of "In the hall of the mountain king"

Such an overrated movie. I didn't even think it deserved an oscar nomination. I enjoyed watching it, but then that's it. I thought the story was kinda plain, like nothing really happened, the acting was so-so and the movie didn't captivate me at all. It made me quite upset that Eisenberg was nominated for his performance - that was such an "easy" role and it wasn't anything special. I don't even think he had to make one facial expression in that movie. During this movie I didn't really "cheer" for any of the characters, because I didn't really care for them. Maybe except for Garfield's character, just a little! And I do think that Garfield was good and I do see him with a good and long career!Kade
the best movie i have ever seen.it really shows just how great of an actor eisenberg is.

I can't say I'm a Fincher fan. His wan, industrial lighting may have worked in the days when he directed videos for Nine Inch Nails and Madonna, but I'm tired of the pretentious aesthetic of Alien³, Se7en, and Fight Club. Fortunately, Aaron Sorkin scripts seem almost director-proof.Beyond the noble anti-heroes popularized by Eastwood and Nicholson, I can't imagine wanting to share dinner with any of these churlish, asocial code-writers. Yet an alchemy of Sorkin's words in Jesse Eisenberg's mouth makes a world of unlikeable wunderkinds watchable, suspenseful, even fascinating.
Sorkin's been vilified for the script's misogyny. And it's important to observe that the story's women are either window-dressing or obstacles to male achievement. Some have made the case that Mara Rooney's Erica Albright is an important exception, a grail-like macguffin Zuckerberg chases in hope of personal redemption. I won't let the writer fully off the hook for his treatment of the fair sex, but I am inclined to weigh Sorkin's history of strong female characters against the dramatic need to depict Harvard's "old boy" network. Like humankind, Facebook seems to reach maturity when it becomes aware of its sexual potential (a.k.a. "relationship status").

If anything, I say The King's Speech is more overrated than The Social Network. The King's Speech has a typical story (told almost exactly like The Blind Side, btw), and apparently it follows the formula for "Best Picture Oscar".O-Critic
What I have noticed is that those who cry "overrated" never really go into detail as to HOW it is overrated, and those who do say "because it's about Facebook". Those who did like it actually explain why they like it.mattmansfieldok
I personally think this is one of the best, most interesting films of the past year. Acting, music, direction and cinematography are all fantastic.Fincher and Sorkin deserve a huge amount of credit for making a film essentially about a group of nerds bickering about a website so riveting... amazing movie

Overrated or not. It's a nice movie anyway. I just don't think that Fincher's style suits to that kind of story/genre/type. :)justanotherfrog
I don't know if it deserves the zillion awards it's already won, but I certainly can't deny that I left the theater with a huge grin on my face. May be a bit overrated, but it's still one of the better films of 2010Eddyspeeder
Interesting movie, I feel it inspires to start one's own business. My main criticism is that it seems as though it was made too early; it unnecessarily culminates to the settlements rather than to the changes in our psychosocial landscape now and possibly in the future. Anyone else think there was too much emphasis (throughout the movie) on how 'unfriendly' all the main characters are?Three tracks on the soundtrack are from the free Nine Inch Nails album Ghosts, in this order: Ghosts I-7, Ghosts I-2, Ghosts II-5.
