The Social Network

[Dementeleus]

Near-perfect filmmaking. Not an ounce of fat there.A

[Lordmandeep]

Solid film but nothing really special apart from the scenes when he acts like a jerk. 

 

B+

 

Its a good film but clearly another divergence between the internet and the real world has formed with this film. 

 

I think this was a very cold film.. Fully of snappy witty dialogue but did not connect much on an emotional level.

 

I think that is why audiences and the Academy preferred The King's Speech that year..

As you can tell with this and the Grey not a huge fan of dark and uber realism.

Yep, this has become one of my all time favorite movies. Two and a half years later and the movie remains fresh.

I haven't watched it in a while... can still quote the whole movie.

This is the type of movies that I probably will never get bored watching. Definitelty a stright "A" for me. And I dont think any other director alive could've ever done better than what Fincher did.

I think tribefan's review on the first page nailed it for me- it's an incredibly well made film that never resonated emotionally with me. Brilliantly shot and acted, but I could never make myself love it.

 

8/10

The editing for this movie is just brilliant. The acting are all great. One of Fincher's best.

This film's growing on me. It flows much better on repeat viewings and the performances are all captivating. I couldn't look away.

[Lordmandeep]

Its to cold to watch over again for me. 

[Jessie]

So much better than Kings Speech and Fincher was robbed of an Oscar.

[Lordmandeep]

That year was a generational divide and frankly what your choice in film is.

 

Do one like cold but great filmaking or a more cliche but inspirational story with some great acting. 

[JohnnY]

I don't think TSN was just "cold but great filmaking", it was an insight about our generation and how internet affected our lifestyles. The fast-paced editing (the facemash/phoenix party and the courtroom scenes, for example) or the confusing dialogue about multiple things in the intro are metaphors to our "gotta-do-everything-at-the-same-time" behaviour on our constatly wired life.

 

 

And that ending in which Mark is waiting for Erica to accept his friendship request (ironically, on facebook) by the sound of "Baby, you're a rich man" is just perfect.

[Ethan Hunt]

What is there to say... A fucking +

[Jessie]

Fincher is a master at keeping viewers engrossed through what could be a very boring scene in another directors hands, he's a genius. Top notch dialogue and great performances all round

 

A +

First time I rewatched since the release and my opinion changed from water to wine. it even made me sympathise with actors I don't usually like. Best Fincher by quite a margin

100/100

Saw it last night after a couple of years. Still a masterpiece.
