Friday Night Movies #4 Social Network

Social Network movie review

The Social network is a movie about the creation of Facebook. I had heard good things about this film from multiple critics and frankly they were completely wrong. This movie is extremely boring and very long or it just felt long. This film is also very confusing its hard to tell the past and the present due to the fact that the characters look the same. I understand that it all happened in the same year but the could have at least had captions to state past and present. Perhaps the narrator from SpongeBob could have helped out to make the time changes smoother. First off the one person I actually enjoyed watching in this movie was Jesse Eisenberg. He was the only thing stopping me from turning this movie off ten minutes into it. Honestly his performance wasn't Oscar worthy, but compared to the rest of the movie it was outstanding. In addition this proves my theory that every movie Justin Timberlake stars in is awful. His characters screen time may have been brief, but it was just enough to take this already bad movie to the level of awful. All they needed was Taylor Lautner to make an appearance to make this the worst movie of all time. In addition the plot of this movie is thin, but that was understandable because its based on a true story. But they could have put Batman chasing a villain in the background to add some sort of intense scene. In conclusion this film really isn't worth your time and I frankly regret watching it. I'm giving the Social Network a 4 out of 10 frankly its not worth your time. If you are considering watching this film, don't go do your taxes it will be more productive and entertaining than this movie. So ask Siri to remind you not to watch the social network.
