Yesterday afternoon we were treated to a screening of the Social Network. It was an afternoon full of friends, popcorn and a good movie. Though here’s the thing about movies, everyone has their own opinion, so here is the Digital Cement office review of The Social Network.
“Great movie, especially considering it’s mostly dialogue. Jesse Eisenberg did an excellent job as Zuckerberg. I was reminded of my job at DC when we saw all those <p> and <i> tags while he was writing his blog at the beginning.” Craig McCutcheon, Front End Web Developer
“Interesting movie to watch especially for those who don’t know the back story about facebook already. I enjoyed Justin Timberlake’s character as Shaun Parker (founder of Napster) as that threw some drama into the plot!” Laura Cooper, SEM Specialist
"I loved the dialogue, and think they did a great job casting the actors.Really engaging movie." Erin Gray, Project Manager
“I thought that the movie was good overall, with Jesse Eisenberg getting that nervous nerd vibe down to a T. You wanted to like him, but you couldn’t quite get there. Justin Timberlake was acting too hard and it could have been anyone to play that role. I think my favourite was Eduardo, he stole the show from Justin Timberlake and he was great in every scene.” Joyce King, Project Manager
“I was impressed with the movie. I couldn’t believe how they took this story and made it so intense. I went in thinking, this is the way it works when it comes to big ideas sometimes everyone wants a piece of the pie, but then it was a true eye opener. I am the social media person here at Digital Cement and I thought I knew the story of Facebook, but my knowledge seemed to be missing a few details, like Eduardo, a pretty important character. I can’t imagine losing your seemingly one and only friend like that. Overall as a movie it was entertaining and enjoyable. Not sure I’d see it again, but kudos for the first viewing.” Jill de Larzac, Social Media Specialist
“Excellent movie. The writers did a fantastic job on the dry wit and interrogative conversations of Mark Zuckerberg. Jesse Eisenberg delivered them effortlessly! A movie full of "talk" that was actually interesting and entertaining!” Carrie-Lyn (CL) Abraham, Senior Marketing Solutions Consultant
