So I watched this last night, and before watching it I couldn't understand the complete obsession with Andrew Garfield and Jesse Eisenberg, until well, now. Now I'm just as obsessed. -.-

This movie was amazing, even though I don't go on Facebook anymore, this was done so well and of course laughing at the really dorky obscure jokes/references to stuff that made me feel "special" cause no one else I was watching it with understood why I kept laughing. /geek

Has anyone else watched this and what did you guys think about it?

Even though the real Mark Zuckerberg {ugh, please tell me I spelt his name right} is kind of douchey I did kind of understand his character and felt sorry for him a bit {minus the fact that he's a billionaire now}, because whatever level of awkward you may be, you can relate to him even though he's like 100x worse than most people are.
It was also sad seeing what he did to the people who were there for him, not people who showed up along the way just because they saw that this could make them tons of money, and how he ruined basically every relationship he had with anyone for really, no reason at all besides kind of keeping the website almost completely to himself {like the ownership}, it's not like his best and only friend did anything ever to hurt Mark, yet he completely scewed him while he was away trying to get people to give them money to keep it running.

And omg, Justin Timberlake as the founder of Napster, I remmeber hearing about this guy when Napster was closed down and afterwards hearing about him getting introuble {like in the movie, underage girls and drugs yet he really never did any}, and how ANNOYING this character was omg. And it didn't help that he was being played by Justin Timberlake, who I dislike {always comes across that he knows he's hot, which is a turn off}.

But I really don't have a lot of words to describe this movie because I liked it so much, finally a movie that was done well, written well even though it's a true story, I didn't feel in the end that there were any scenes that could've not been used.

You should watch this movie, unless you're the kind of person who only watches movies to see action, this has action if you consider how cruel Mark is to other people action lol.

I know what you mean, this movie is hard to describe exactly why you like it. I think just everything is perfect about it, there wasn't anything done wrong in it so I really can't even think of anything to say bad about it.
And yes, the way it was filmed was very nice, almost kind of dark, but it added to the style, and they obviously had quite the budget I think because they even played a real {I mean, not a cover} Beatles song at the end {which I thought was perfect for the ending}, when usually in movies they can't afford the rights to a Beatles song and distribute it.

Yeah, I figured that. Considering it was based off a book that was really only the perspective of the guys who hated him in the end, of course it would make Mark look horrible and the other guys look better. I wonder how different it would've been if they had gotten Mark's side aswell, and how he saw it.
I heard him say that aswell, and he's had a long term girlfriend who I think he mentioned being with during Harvard so why would he continue to be like "well at least you have a girlfriend."
Omg, speaking of that scene, that asian girl... HAH! I love how Eduardo says "She's crazy, she scares me." And Mark is like, sooo...? And then he goes back and she shows up and says "Didn't you get my 47 text messages? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE BACK HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BACK FOR!?!?" And then sets the garbage can on fire, talk about obsessive....

Lol, and another favourite scene earlier in the movie is when Mark goes to find Eduardo and he's at the Jewish fraternity's Caribbean night, and Mark starts to leave cause he can't stand seeing a picture of Niagra Falls that has nothing to do with the Caribbean. And like there's 30 people there, maaaybe, and again, a couple of Asian girls.

And did you know that the guys who played the twins aren't actually twins or even related? They chose two actors then kind of morphed the one guys face afterwards to make him look like the other guy. Which I wouldn't have even noticed that if I hadn't have seen an interview with them when it came out, you can't even tell, like usually when that kind of thing is done you can tell it was done with a computer but that was done flawless.
