Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2011)

Movie about the founding of facebook (was it stolen), and the legal problems Zuckerberg (Eisenbeg) faced. After his girlfriend breaks up with him Zuckerberg decides to get revenge on her by starting a billion dollar company. I have to admit going in I really did not have any desire to watch this being that I'm not into facebook(I don't even have a personal facebook page). Also from what I knew about Zuckerberg made me go in wanting to really hate the guy. The first half I found it easy, he was really cocky and only thought of himself. I don't know how accurate Eisenberg's portrayal was but he was pretty much what I expected. Has the movie progressed I started to feel sorry for him, Facebook took off too quick and he was at the mercy of everyone he came in contact with in order to be liked. For some reason when ever a movie takes over all media and becomes the place to be (like this one did) I have a feeling like I need to find something wrong with it so I can hate it, (like I do with Titanic...different review) but I found it difficult with this one. I'm not positive that it is good enough to win best actor or best picture at the Oscars but I would not be surprised if it did. I really liked it, much more then I thought I would. I give it an A-.
