My prediction: people will complain it's long and/or boring. Kinda like Zodiac... which I loved.

Ok I'm definitely gonna love it then!

just got back from seeing it. I really enjoyed it. I don't think this movie is for everyone though, but I highly recommend it.

Here's my thoughts - Loved the movie overall.

nolfoc · 10-01-2010, 08:35 PM

just got back from seeing this and ill round up the vote to a 4. but i would really give it a 3.5... this movie is not for everyone.. people taht love facebook will probably enjoy this a lot more then people that dont.. one thing that did surprise me was Andrew Garfield's performance, i thought he stole the show and this is very promising news for the new spiderman movie

tommyboy81 · 10-01-2010, 11:40 PM

loved it. I use facebook but not in love with it. I loved the creation and business side of the story. Which is basically the movie. It sucked me in and next thing I knew 2 hours went by. Most of it I knew nothing about. Was he really that much of an ass?

Yea, I kind of wondered that myself. I'd assume if he wasn't, then some Lawyers might have made a visit to the studios. I thought Eisenberg was Great (as Zuckerberg).

Imagine being him now. Just 26 years old & worth his age in BILLIONS. Good Lord...

Aerodude73 · 10-02-2010, 03:20 AM

Along with having a short cameo in the film, he's going to be on FALLON tonight. Should be interesting to hear what he has to say about writing this movie.

Dave_6 · 10-02-2010, 05:37 AM

Great, great movie. Definitely deserves a best picture nom, and IMO Jesse Eisenberg deserves a nom as well. To be such a dialogue driven movie, those two hours passed by quickly! Can't wait to watch this one many more times!

masoud90 · 10-02-2010, 06:25 AM

I REALLY REALLY REALLY really really really really liked it...but I think I might love it with a second viewing. My major problem was that I just couldn't justify the actions of the main character and didn't like him at several parts of the film. I kept thinking why I should root for this guy when I don't like him which distracted me from the story at parts.

tommyboy81 · 10-02-2010, 12:06 PM

I haven't seen the reviews on rotten tomatoes but was wondering how it got alot of bad reviews if it's at 50 or 55%

opps. Thought I saw somebody on here write that.

The_Basterd · 10-02-2010, 05:39 PM

Who else found the boat race/rowing scene visually breathtaking? Also, the music for it, fit in perfectly! It was one of my favorite scenes in the film.

Man it's really painful that I have to wait till 15th, and even then I don't think I'll get the chance to see it considering my Friends

Totally. The more I tried to describe the movie to friends, while holding back last night it made me really want to rewatch it. Think this movie is a grower.

EDIT: Cheap plug for "Ball and Biscuit" during the opening credits/scene (White Stripes). Wicked song.

Mahatma · 10-02-2010, 06:17 PM

It would be nice to show some restraint here regarding this movie since many are eagerly awaiting it,and don't want it spoilt.Please use spoilers

Mike53421 · 10-02-2010, 07:04 PM

I'll try not to be so open.

This song plays in the opening credits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Iyfrymydc

EDIT: 157 to 5 to bring the rating to 97%. That's pretty ****ing impressive.

That's what lack of vajayjay does to some people when they're younger.
