Re: The Social Network
Cineworld, Middlesbrough was 100% full - I think people were turned away.
I thought this film was terrific. Good solid performances, particularly from Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake. The supporting cast was also good.
It held my attention for the entire 2 hours - time just rushed by.
8/10 from me.

Re: The Social Network
I'm giving it an 8/10 too.
My friend who is normally extremely scathing of 'All American dorm room nonsense films' turned round at the end and said it was brilliant! My jaw dropped a bit I can tell you. The time really did race along. JT was great and very annoying as the Napster character. Felt for the best (only) friend though.
Glasgow was full, and it was a mixed bag of ages.

Re: The Social Network
Saw this at Cameo on Sunday morning. It was 95% full.
I really enjoyed it. I thought the story and the 2 side line stories were well interwoven and made it interesting.
Jesse Eisenberger and Justin Timberlake were both excellent in their roles.

Re: The Social Network
Finally got to see this at Wimbledon this evening which was packed to the rafters - people even sat on the steps until they were told to leave. I guess nobody bothered to keep a check on the amount of people streaming in!
Anyway onto the film. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I did think this would end up being one of those films were the hype would be better than the actual thing but I really enjoyed it. Good strong performances by all of the cast particuarly Jesse Eisenberg who I found extremely watchable.
An 8/10 from me on this one.
P.S. Can straight home and went to Facebook which I haven't been on for days!!!!

Re: The Social Network
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this due to the subject matter, but I unexpectedly found it was one of the best 2 hours spent in the cinema this year. It was well written, brilliantly paced and witty.
9/10
It was also really lovely to meeting Prettyxcool and friends!!

Re: The Social Network
Really enjoyed this, was engaged from start to finish.
Don't use Facebook, but film was witty and interesting enough for that not to matter.
Not sure I'd like to go for a drink with Mark Zuckerberg, but as a character he was fascinating. His brutal honesty at times was hilarious.
Overall a classy movie from a master writer and director.

Re: The Social Network
YAY! second attempt at Silverlink and they let us in this time - not everyone though as some got turned away.
Though this film was a little bit like facebook itself i.e. not as good as you expect it to be. and errr seeing as I live in the facebook capital of britain, I am of course fully qualified to say so
Didn't like justin trousersnake's svengali like character very much. and me and boyf had a wass-eye argument on the way home too about invasion of privacy (he hates FB and gets annoyed at me posting pics of him - but as I quite rightly tell him, if he doesn't like it he shouldn't pose for them cos they're my pics afterall and i can do what i like with them and anyway he's filmed and photo'd a zillion times a day anyway so what's he so bothered about - the tit!) errrm 7/10

Re: The Social Network
Saw this film tonight....techy heads will love it but its too nerdy and dialogue heavy for my taste. The back stabbing is right out of the apprentice line-up and the ending was sad-case.
Had a chortle at the black humour going on and the chicken story. Think the main character has Aspergers Syndrome as he had a lot of traits but maybe i'm bias as i work with people on the spectrum every day!!
