There has been alot of hype about this film as you probably have inescabably seen. It's weird, because it's sort of an "indie" (or less mainstream) film, in the way it's made and the amount of dialogue and lack of action and plot is in it, yet at the same time it is incredibly mainstream by the pure fact that this film is about facebook...
I was incredibly dubious about the premise of it, the fact that it was a story about the guy who created facebook, but actually it's pretty brilliant. Jesse Eisenberg does a pretty awesome performance of Mark Zuckerberg, playing with your feelings and emotions towards him, and Andrew Garfield in pretty much his break-out role, does a pretty good job of playing the angered friend. The fact of the matter is, is that David Fincher, along with his superb choice of actors, chooses brilliant camera shots and angles and makes a great film out of what is probably a very dry and boring job. I would give it at least 4 out of 5 stars.
On a lighter note, i went to see Despicable Me this morning. There is something about animation films, especially of late that just really capture something sweet and entertaining. I did enjoy Despicable me, Steve Carrell did a really good job of voicing the main charcter and the children in it were soooo cute. Where this film was let down, were in the enemy characters. They were dry, boring, and not really very evil. Altogether not very watchable baddies. However the parts of the film with the children in made up for it, and i enjoyed it alot. I would give this film a 3 out of 5.
You may think i'm a bit of a loser for writing this, but i really do love film, and there is so much to appreciate and take away even from kids film. So bear with me :)
