Its good, but what am I not getting here?

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2014)

Im not old by any stretch of the imagination. Im 17 years old and have had a Facebook account for about 4 years, I grew up with stories of Napster and Facebook in the news, this film interested me and, its good but, why do people consider this genius filmmaking.
The characters are all played very well by their respective actors. But the characters themselves I find hard to care about. There not the worst people in the world, there not the best either, so I don't really care if they succeed or not. The story itself, finding out how Facebook was created, is fairly interesting but thats practically wrapped up in the first 45 minutes, leaving the remainder of the film to wrap up how everyone ends up suing Mark Zuckerberg.
The film is good though. It may not sound like it from what iv said but, its good. Jesse Eisenberg is very good as Zuckerberg and although, like I said before, I found it hard to care for him as a person, it doesn't diminish the performance which is spot on as a social inept genius who wants everything, even if it means betraying everyone who's ever cared for him. I enjoyed seeing Zuckerberg strive for more from his company, shutting the outside world out, shutting his friends out and ultimately thats what lead to the lawsuits.
I really like the score too, its got this great ambiance that affects the entire film. It gives it this hip, here and now atmosphere that fits the tone and theme of the film perfectly. The films also perfectly shot, what else would you expect of David Fincher.
Overall, The Social Network is good, but disappointing. I expected another masterpiece from the man who directed Fight Club and Panic Room, but we got this instead, and i'm fine with it.
