This movie releases in Korea on November 18th and has gotten great reviews. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to it.

(If you've seen this, no spoilers, please. I was pretty pissed when someone spoiled "Titanic" for me. I mean, who would've guessed that the ship was gonna sink?! )

Best movie of 2010 hands down regardless if it is fiction or not. I highly recommend it.

There is a nice copy floating around on .80 cent dvd stands here in shanghai so i picked it up tonight. Just finished watching it and enjoyed it very much. Nothing exciting happens but it is cool just to see how things panned out.

One of the best movies that've ever been made.

well I did walk out of the movie with at least a few life lessons. It's an exciting and smart film (smart - not convoluted like inception was).

I wish though, they didn't cast a pop star as one of the major characters of the film. That was a bit off putting.

Why is every SWPL drooling over this boring movie? I haven't seen it, but it's just some nerd who makes a website, big deal.

I got facebook 3 weeks ago and it sucks. I can't really see the point of it.

Check out his girlfriend:

Hopefully she at least has a nice personality....

i know zuckerberg dont have game. but with his money id imagine he could get girls the top PUA's couldn't get. Frankly I'd rather had money than game. You can learn game easily, it's a lot harder to acquire serious cash. With Zuckerberg's money I'd just hire cajun on mystery to be my personal wing or teacher.

Yeah the movie portrays him as a social inept evil guy and the website itself i still think is stupid but you gotta admit the movie was well done and it was good drama and acting.

but yes the movie IS about facebook and computers, it doesn't suck though which surprised me.

I wouldn't say anything to just look like a DB if I were you.

Hopefully you at least have some public hair.

Probably the best movie I've seen this year (but I've maybe seen only half a dozen). Excellent dialogue, great acting. Even Justin Timberlake wasn't half-bad.

Your little comment didn't offend anyone, BaldTeacher, no one expects a movie appeals to all.

I just feel bad for the amount of ignorance shown in your little comment based on a movie you havent even seen is all.

BTW I bet you have figured out the world is unfair, because you are poor, no one gives a shit even you are astonishingly bald and ugly, once you are a billionaire, even your gf is just normal looking, people start to give so much attention. I am totally jealous of Mark Zuckerberg.

I didnt see that they portrayed him as evil. They showed him as being able to see things clearly and making better business choices than his friend and having a clearer vision with help from the napster guy who had learned lessons from previous situations.

They were taking the piss out of the twins and even put in the dig about getting sixth place in Beijing. The twins were shown to be a bunch of stuck up idiots.

The movie also tried to show how his best friend would have ruined it if the guy from napster hadnt shown up to add his leadership.
