Movie Review Summary

This is a film that might have you intrigued from start to finished. Mark Zuckerberg is going to be a big name for the future and this film tells the story of how he founded Facebook. So well in fact that I don’t think he could have seen it. You see, Mark is not portrayed well in this film. He puts girls off of him, seeks to ridicule them, is insensitive to anybody around him, betrays his friends who are closest to him and rips-off people who trust him. So in the end we aren’t left with some rose-tinted view about how he has created something wonderful, but about what he has destroyed along the way. And in some ways that’s quite sad, that the nasty guy did good, but everybody else suffered around him. It leaves a rather bitter taste to it, so don’t expect to come out of watching this with any warm fuzzy feeling.
