Superlative!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2010)

When I saw the preview for this movie, I just rolled my eyes and didn't want to see it. But the buzz surrounding it was so positive, I had to see it and it blew me away.
The first thing that surprised me was Jesse Eisenberg, who I hadn't seen in a movie before. I just assumed he was another Michael Cera, but his performance as Mark Zuckerberg is unlike anything I've seen before. Andrew Garfield also blew me away as Eduardo Saverin.
The script is ridiculously good, full of one-liners and zingers. Zuckerberg doesn't finish the movie looking very good, but through a combination of his witty lines and Eisenberg's performance, I still ended up loving the guy.
The movie is long, but doesn't feel long. It's sort like a biopic of Facebook, but it doesn't feel long or predictable like a lot of biopics. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes movies.
