General impression:
It is not a bad movie, but I’ve seen much better. Unfortunately, it doesn’t grip your attention, and it doesn’t stir much emotion. You almost have compassion for the main character, but all through the movie he keeps acting like he doesn’t want or deserve it, so it’s hard, very hard, to like this character.

Highlights:
The story.

Downside:
A tad boring, a tad annoying.

Would I see it again? – No

My Rating (1 to 10): 7

Recommended: It is not a must-see.

Suggestion:
Don’t regret not seeing it.

General impression:
The (good) movie of Facebook… I expected it to be a little dull, and was delighted to find it wasn’t, just as I was unexpectedly impressed by Justin Timberlake’s acting skills. Lots of young talent, appropriate music, a fresh, modern, simplified to excellence cinematographic product.

Highlights:
Surprisingly entertaining for a movie based on nonfiction, with no special effects, stunts, or particular exoticism.

Downside:
The final result is solid enough to annul flaws.

Would I see it again? – Yes, someday

My Rating (1 to 10): 9

Recommended: Yes

Suggestion:
You should see it, if you’d like a glimpse into the life of a successful young entrepreneur, an “accidental billionaire”.
