    Meh. Not bad, but far from extraordinary. Felt like a well done t.v movie. Thoroughly forgettable.

    I watched this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0487419/) before watching "The Social Network".

    I found the first movie FAAAAR more satisfying...

    And while we're talking movies, I really would like to see this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590089/

    and can't wait for this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1191111/) on DVD

    I saw a clip from Confessions and thought it was great.

    Definitely have to see this.

    i thought it was really good! didn't expect to love it.

    altho from what i'm told it's an adaptation of a book that was written from the angle of Eduardo the CFO, so things are skewed.. i'd like to know how it really went down.

    he did get screwed royally though.

    Entertaining. Cool to watch.

    However, significant degree of artistic license taken. Blew up and focused on a couple of situations that really did not play as big a part in the history of Facebook as the movie emphasized (This from M.Z. himself - namely the whole Winklevii and Saverin thing.). What I wonder is why D. Moskovitz' character wasn't given more screen time of focus. Cat was vital to the early success of FB.
    Just Bug.

    Saw it last night and feel that it must be leaving many parts out. Would be interested in reading a comprehensive history of FB, but that won't be written for decades.

    In the meantime, its obvious Zuckerburg is one crafty and clever CEO. For a guy without any formal business training, that is remarkable. How long he can last making most of the important decisions, remains to be seen.

    commenting as if you know what the deal was ... you were wondering why someone wasn't in the movie more

    1) it's a movie ... I'm sure it left a ton of folks out, and added others for flash
    2) you're taking others' comments as being 100% facts ... b/c MZ said it, doesn't mean it's 100% true ... meanwhile, the twins got a double-digit settlement, and are looking to hand that back today, for more ... but they weren't significant? - I'd suggest that's pretty significant
