7/10
Overrated but still interesting
28 July 2013
The internet has become a part of everyday life for most people and Facebook is something everyone has as least heard of and therefore the whole subject of this film is something most people could relate to. Seeing how this well known site was started by college students was interesting, particularly how it developed from one small thing and escalated.

The majority of the characters in this film are not at all appealing in the way that you would normally expect them to be. However this is irrelevant because it is based on real people and as much as I did not like them I still wanted to carry on watching to see how it would develop.

I liked the way the story was told varying between the court cases and reflecting back on memories as this showed with an impact how the friendship between Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin was affected.

I was surprised how interesting a film about the origin of Facebook and the impact of its growth could be and I think it is definitely worth a watch.
