Felt nothing

Rating: 5/10 (17 October 2010)

Felling nothing to me is the sign of a bad film - personally I think that's why I go to the movies; to feel excitement, sadness, joy, horror, humor - whatever. The Social Networks showed rich aholes being aholes to each other. I found not a single character to root for and it felt that nothing was at stake, not really. Even their friendship wasn't made out to be any great thing in the beginning before it all went upside down.
Sure it was interesting in a news article kind of way, but it was souless. Was that the point? I doubt it, and if so - so what? Add to that the worst CGI 'cold breath' and falling snow that wouldn't look out of place in a cartoon and you have a film that seems to be over hyped because it involves 'recent events'. My prediction? It will not be remembered so fondly in cinema history. Fincher hasn't made a truly great film in over 10 years. Maybe The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will find him back on form. We can hope.
