Great! Don't even have to be a Facebook fan to like it.

I didn't know what to expect with this movie. In particular because similar movies in the same vein have almost always been bad so I was a bit jaded coming in.
But this movie was a charm! The flow of it was excellent. Although it probably appeals to a wide audience, I felt it's very much a computer person's movie.
The acting was great, the directing, everything was great.
Frankly I don't care about Facebook. I don't waste time on it, and in my opinion putting all these personal details about your self anyone can just find you by name is just foolish.
I've been involved in some underground, and, or, otherwise start-up operations and this really captured the excitement and feeling of it. And also like the movie in one of those biz adventures I've gotten screwed (although minuscule in comparison).
The moral of the story is, always get stuff down on paper! The fact that so many businesses die before they even get started, starting things are so often so causal, etc. And then when money comes into play so do politics, greed, etc. If the Winklevoss brothers et al really thought they had something it seems to me if they would have Zuckerberg sign some sort of NDA first, or some kind of non-competition agreement, etc., they would be the 60% owners not Zuckerberg.
A good companion to this move is "Pirates of Silicon Valley" (look it up here on IMDb). See the parallel? It's like Mark Zuckerberg was the Bill Gates of the social networking world! In this case the Winklevoss team was Apple Computer. Ironically Gates was a speaker at Harvard in the movie.
