I went into it expecting to not like it. Actually, I didn't want to see it in the first place ("Psh, a movie about Facebook?") but got free tickets through StartupDigest and decided to go.

Really happy I did — the movie is one of my favorites now. Writing was awesome, soundtrack was fantastic (by Trent Reznor, and $8 to buy: http://www.nullco.com/TSN/), cinematography was enchanting (the tilt-shift part during the crew race was particularly great), and I thought that Jesse Eisenberg in particular did a great job creating both an arrogant but sympathetic character.

Additionally, the movie is pretty inspiring, as other commentators mentioned. Kind of disappointed in myself for being such a 'hater' in the beginning before actually seeing the movie.

Yeah, I really like the tilt-shift, and alot other interesting camera work during the crew race set to In the Hall of the Mountain King.

The fact that it is so gratuitous is what makes it great. A lesser director would have allowed the studios to cut it, because it doesn't "move the story forward" or other such BS. Instead he gets to tell us what he thinks of the Winkelvosses and their tiny world, in a way I've never seen before.

great scene in the movie and definitely the most "fincher-esq" part of the movie.

THe movie was scored fantastically as well.

Listening to the soundtrack right now, in fact. Great working music.

the opening credit score where Mark is running through Harvard was beautifully crafted. totally set the tone for the 1st half of the movie. Great electronic composition with sparse organic elements.
