THE SOCIAL NETWORK Review

9 out of 10

Actually Lives up to the Hype.

Although I usually hate going into movies that have been hyped up to this degree, I had a very good feeling about this movie, especially as I knew it was directed by David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en) and written by Aaron Sorken (The West Wing). From the moment it began I knew I would enjoy the dialogue if nothing else, for it was quick, witty, and containing bits of brilliance that you had to be paying attention to catch.

Acting was as good as you could get with such a young cast, though I did laugh at the idea that one of the actors will be playing Spider-Man in upcoming years, slightly taking away from his more serious role here.

Even if you don’t care for Facebook or its creator, it’s a good watch, with an interesting take on college networks and what really made Facebook so popular.
