The Social Network

Hey all 1st post of this new blog and why not start with a movie review. On the 28th of October i went an watched The Social Network. Now for all those who haven't heard of this movie it is pretty much the facebook movie. All in all it is a good movie, it shows the great talent in the actors that are in the movie. Jesse Eisenberg who plays Mark Zuckerberg, shows his acting will probably be typed cast in this role as seeing his passed roles in Zombieland and Adventureland, but his role in this movie is a little different. In this movie he has to play an intellectual which he played it fantastically and i hope that he gets more movie offers. The stand out for this movie was Andrew Garfield, he played Eduardo Saverin and personally i loved his acting and am so glad he got Spider-Man in the new Spider-Man Movie. His acting was really good, he showed us that not only can he play the cocky comedian (pretty much spider-man) but he also can show passion and emotion.

The Social Network is a good display of how facebook started. It started from Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) coming up with an idea for a website which allows students from Harvard to communicate with each other with some start up money from his friend Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) they get the site up which is named the facebook. The website slowly builds up and takes steam with not giving the rest of the story away it then becomes Facebook. All in all if you have read up on how facebook started you will know how it all went down.

I give this movie 3.5 out of 5
