Far from Fincher's best

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2010)

I have to agree with one of the other reviews here - if Facebook were not so popular, there would not be so much credit given to this film. Its far from Zodiac or Seven, Fincher's best films by far. This is competent film making from Fincher and no more. It is him going through the motions of what he's done before. He's not pushing or using his craft as he has done in the past. Also the dialogue, while clever, fast paced and self aware, means that all characters sound the same, its more about showing off with dialogue than being true to the characters or story. I was soooooo looking forward to this, and was really disappointed.
