A great "feel good" movie. I've always felt James Franco has been underused and his performance was great. B

Looks like a meathead movie but this is one of the best DTV films I have seen for years. The story is slight but more than adequate and the action is quite simply superb. Tight, aggressive and refreshingly lacking in histrionics and cliche.

If the director can make action look this good on a shoestring then I cannot wait to see what he could do with a bigger budget.

Everybody who dislikes this, wtf were you expecting going in?

This director has always been a terrible screenwriter, and had a sort of masoginist vibe. This movie is no different than any of his other ****.

In fact, in terms of just raw action and visuals, it's his best. The music video kung fu scenes with remixed rock in crazy dubstep tone was awesome. Its entertainment, and stimulates the **** out of your eyeballs.

Way better then snore fest watchmen.

I finally got around to watching The Social Network.

Overall, I didn't like it. It came off as false and telling an inaccurate story. I hated the ending scene so retarded and the whole premise of how facebook was created as a revenge for this girl telling him he was a crappy date.

Meh

He was being a complete ****ing asshole/douchebag.
I also don't feel that that whole encounter went like that irl. I guess I watched this movie thinking it was supposed to be more like a documentary and more true to what really happened but in the end it was just a drama loosely based off of the events.

I just didn't care for it.

The acting from Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield were great though. I think Justin Timberlake should have gotten a nomination for supporting actor. Not that he would win in that category but he should've been recognized for it.

I could careless about Jesse's acting performance because I hated the character.

if the entire movie was either like that or just the interaction between the girls with the actual dance shown, I'm fine with it

it's the mixture gestalt I have problems with - just choose one or the other, goddamnit

and anything's better than Watchmen - that got - (negative) 5 out of 10 from me

Huge Clint fan here, as both an actor and director. This one's easily up there with his best as well - I loved every minute of the thing.

I totally agree. Most overrated since Gladiator.
