Slow-Paced but Still a Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2015)

I went into this movie with pretty high hopes. Considering I'd just watched a handful of great movies with lower user scores and higher metascores, and I thought I'd love this one just as much as those. It was a lot slower than I expected, but it may have felt that way due to the fact that I started watching it at midnight.
The Social Network is a pretty interesting movie. It follow the guy, Mark Zuckerberg, who created facebook and all the problems that occur during and after this process. It's well made, and the plot is interesting. As someone who uses facebook a fair amount, it was interesting to see who made it (I know it wasn't Jesse Eisenberg, don't worry) and how it was made.
The characters were the primary driving force in the movie it seemed. Jesse Eisenberg, as usual, played a great nerdy character who doesn't seem to understand human emotion that well. It's a typical role for him, but he does it extremely well. As for everyone else, they were all interesting characters who change throughout the movie, making it feel a lot more realistic. Although it is a biography so of course it's expected to be realistic.
Overall The Social Network is a solid movie. With great acting and interesting characters and plot, it's worth a watch. It wasn't as great as some of the previous movies I've watched lately, and it was definitely a slower paced movie, but it's still good. If your interested, give it a watch. It's worthwhile. If you didn't enjoy it, then that's okay, I can see why. In the end I probably would recommend it, but maybe only to people whom I think would like it.
