David Fincher's best film which guards his Oscar.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2011)

The Social Network 'appeared' to be one of the most anticipated/profound films of the year, so my expectations for this film were high. The Facebook 'story' was a one I had actually never known about, and was extremely curious/interested to find out more. Lastly, with David Fincher, who had directed so many great and underrated films, you couldn't go wrong...
To tell you, I wasn't a tad bit disappointed with the outcome of this film. It was actually almost perfect! It featured fine performances, a sophisticated soundtrack, brilliant writing, and outstanding direction.
I wasn't expecting too much from young lads such as Eisenberg, Garfield, and Timberlake. In the end, they were all perfect for their roles. Eisenberg was strong, aggressive, and jubilant to show his hidden talent. Garfield was even more impressive; playing his character with speed, expressions, and perfection. Last but not least, Timberlake was actually the weakest. Yes he was aggressive and near-perfect for his role, but at times, he just blew it! The sophisticated soundtrack was creepy and made me shiver the daylights out of me! Reznor and Ross did an excellent job of putting it together.
The writing was actually the 'stand-out', meaning the best category I praised this film for. Aaron Sorkin's screenplay seemed hard to follow, but the guy did one hell of a job! Overall, (as you can see), The Social Network is one of the best films of the year that guard Fincher's deserving Oscar. I'm just keeping my hopes up for him to get it, otherwise it'll be another foolish mistake from the harsh Academy.
