Fast paced and interesting, this movie tries too hard to portray Zuckenberg in a better light than he deserves. He was not a good coder. He was much more exploitative than movie suggest, as his later love affair with CIA and selling personal data of facebook users for nefarious purposes proved. This guy is far less charismatic than portrayed (and he isn't portrayed as particularly charismatic to begin with) and far more calculating, menacing and Machiavelian than described. The only thing the movie did show worse than it was was Zuckenberg incel situation. Zuckenberg was dating a Chinese golddigger/smartdigger/Harvarddigger the whole time and they got married.But despite being more positive towards its subject than they would warrant, the movie manages to capture part of the psychopathic nature of facebook and its founding. Artistic liberties were taken in order to humanize these monsters, to make us care and for plot not to be boring. In that it succeeded, but humanizing monsters like Zuckenberg or Hitttlerr is never a good idea in a movie. However, you at least get an idea about the depths of the cutthrooat depravity that was only confirmed by the fact that facebook abuses the trust of its sheeple all the time, and a movie is fun to watch, and deserves a praise even if it is an idealised/sanitized/overseksed version of the sorry reality this movie is based on, and as a movie is well worth a watch, but keep in mind the reality was much darker and more boring at the same time.

As always a great one
David Fincher's film Jesse Eisenberg stares very well at Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake following him

I watched this film before 2 years ago i guess but i was feeling that i forgot it and i need to watch it again and now i'm really speechless and i wish that i watched this a masterpiece ever.. actully this film was pure and peerless and basically "David Fincher" are one of the best directors in like this films and specially when the film talking about some interesting subjects like this, textually the screenplay was too perfect and excellent and i know it's "Biography" film but the drama was very breath-taking and i've ever seen this film so now i'm really sure of my opinion it's underrated film and it's don't matter if he won in 2010 or not but the important thing is why people don't do justice to him? i mean this film was completely perfect with all ways.... Ok i should to say that the film is a masterpiece and absolutely i'll re-watch it again and again in some other time.

The screenplay from Aaron Sorkin really makes this film. It makes what could have been a boring concept thrilling and absorbing. The dialogue is so visceral and quick-fire that I never lost interest despite not knowing all the jargon being used. David Fincher's direction is focused which really helps keep the narrative flowing. I never found myself bored because of the excellent combination of writing and direction. Jesse Eisenburg's performance as Mark Zuckerberg is thrilling as he plays what is almost an insufferable genius to perfection, whilst his performance is grounded by the excellent Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder of Facebook. No character is truly moral, all working with their own agendas and interests which creates realistic conflict. When Saverin confronts Zuckerberg about his shares in the company being diluted it ends up being one of the best scenes in the film because of this.There also must be a mention to Justin Timberlake's portrayal of Sean Parker, who is the closest thing to an antagonist in the film, with how he clashes with Saverin and in effect forces him out of Facebook. The only issues I had with the film was when it cut back to the lawsuit going on in the present day, as I felt it disrupted the pace of the narrative somewhat, and that the ending seemed a little abrupt.I know the subject matter has probably been somewhat glamourised to make the narrative more entertaining, but it certainly succeeds there.
