The Social Network(2010)- User Reviews

The movie is a little boring but watchable. I made it through the whole movie, but the ending caught me by surprise. There was no climax. It just kind of ended. Eisenberg was extremely tedious, but maybe that's how what's his name really is. The only rise in interest came with the appearence of Timberlake, but his charachter quickly dissolves into a caricature of a real world petty thief who somehow is glorified as an economic "genius". The title of the book tells the real story of these msifits..."accidental billionaires". It's really no more of a story than that, but for the sake of cinema, it was necessary to portray them as "purposeful". They simply weren't. I've been in computers since the 60's. Always assimilating the latest advances in tech. To be honest, I consider social networking and the rise of "apps" as a non-event. And I admit I approached this movie in the same light. To me it was a story about socially inept, low-grade, juvenile delinquent level criminals. If you somehow see that as interesting or relevant, you may enjoy the movie. I guess I just don't get it.
