We're Addicted

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2011)

I really enjoyed this movie. It was shot well and the score by Reznor and Ross fit the contemporary attitude of the film as a whole.
While I liked the film, two aspects really annoyed me. First and most obviously is the one-sided nature of the movie. I don't know anything about Zuckerberg, but obviously he had no say in this film because it was based on a book in which he did contribute information. Jesse Eisenberg plays the part of a genius-douchebag extremely well, but is Zuckerberg really like that? I felt more confused at the end of this movie then at the beginning simply because there was only one side presented.
The second aspect of the film I didn't like was the fact it was about Facebook. I realize it's an interesting story and one that needed to be told, but why now? Why couldn't the filmmakers give Facebook a few more years to age? The story would still be there in a couple of years.
Great movie. I really think anyone will like it because of the betrayal. We'll just never know how it REALLY went down. This is the only story we have about what happened with the creation of Facebook, and it is the only one we will have unless Zuckerberg writes a book. Even then, I'm sure he'll build himself up as the victim. Maybe he'll even make a movie about it.
