I have mixed feelings about the movie, what do you think?

What? How can there ever be a movie for Facebook? IT HAS NO PLOT!

A movie by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, epic partnership. Though Justin Timberlake? Eh...

I think the movie looks engaging but I don't like how they have placed facebook in society.

Between us i'm sure we could make a plot. It opens on a rainy day, with someone pondering a friend request from a random mexican (sorry, I just happen to get random mexicans trying to add me alot).

Still such a movie sounds terrible and should hopefully just crash and burn at box office.

Bloody stupid. There does not need to be a movie about Facebook. It may turn out halfway decent (I doubt it), but it's still a stupid concept.

I've heard it's about the creation of Facebook.

Anyway I don't think it'll be a great film.

I dunno, but with a tag-line like this "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies" you know it's not going to be good.....

It looks poor and pretty boring. Disappointing for David Fincher.

I think they literally sat down and thought hmm...what do teens like? FACEBOOK!

A film about Facebook? Yeah, because this is really gunna sell well isn't it? >.>

It chronicles the creation and rise of facebook. There were a lot of legal issues when it was first created and a lot of the team fell out with each other and sued.

I've seen a trailer, but I don't want to see the film. I have, however, listened to a documentary on the subject. It could be good though I can't think which audience its made for.

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

Just because someone made something like Facebook doesn't mean you should make a movie about him. You should write a book if you really want to, but no one's going to read it.
