    I know the term 'masterpiece' conjures up ideas of sweeping epics and heart tugging character studies and all that but I beleive a film like this warrants that title. Exceptional filmmaking. Aaron Sorkin provides the actors with an easy job when his words fizz off the screen this easily but that's not to say their performances are anything but stella. David Fincher keeps the film tight and pacy and that music, it oozes atmosphere and gives the entire film an eerie sense of calm that balances the manic characters who spit dialogue at a baffling rate. Brillant.

    Who would have thought that a movie about a website would be so fascinating?

    I still think this should have won the Oscar for Best Picture. Certainly it is a better and more important film than The King's Speech. As for how accurate it is, I don't really care. If you want history, read wikipedia.

    One of my favorite films of the past 5 years. Trent Reznor + David Fincher = Match Made in Heaven.

    I had no interest in seeing this movie, but a friend of mine kept telling me to see it. Looking further into it, I was intrigued by the idea of such a boring premise as the founding of facebook being put into the hands of David Fincher with music by Trent Reznor. So I watched it, and I was pleasantly surprised by how absolutely entertaining and engaging the movie turned out to be. Jesse Eisenberg also did a fabulous performance. I don't need to ever see this movie again, but it was a very pleasant surprise.

    "You write your snide bullshit from a dark room because that's what the angry do nowadays."

    This has David Fincher directing and Aaron Sorkin writing the script. On paper, there is absolutely nothing that could have gone wrong with this film.

    And nothing did.
    Seriously, there really is not much wrong with this film at all. As mentioned, the direction and script are both amazing, there's some great acting - with the highlight for me being Andrew Garfield's Eduardo Saverin.…

    You know, the first time I watched this I thought it was pretty interesting. Facebook had so many legal problems and I didn't even know they happened. It's not your average process of making a website and there has to be if you own a multi-billion dollar company. You also forget the Jesse Eisenberg is portraying a real life asshole. Mark Zuckerberg can be so creepy.

    I had no idea David Fincher directed the The Social Network until a few…

    Jesse Eisenberg always looks bewildered.

    This is brilliantly put together and it's got a great story which I hope is actually how it happened.
    Every David Fincher film I've seen so far has been no less than amazing. I look forward to seeing more.

    The Social Network wasn't a boring film to watch but it wasn't the most enjoyable - to be honest it's a film about Facebook so I wasn't expecting to be glued to the screen. The film was generally well cast but the only character that stood out to me was Edwardo (but maybe I'm slightly biased as a Godfield fan). I think it's a pretty good film however I don't understand why everyone loves it; three oscars, seriously?

    The Social Network is a film I like more than Facebook itself. It's more interesting than Facebook itself.

    The acting is stellar for a film about a networking site now predominantly used in this country by teenagers and people on buses.

    It's gripping and the addition of Justin Timberlake kicks it on. I've rewatched it a couple of times, and it gets better.
