The Social Network DVD Review

Wow! So much better than I had been led to believe.  Mind you the people I'd been listening to about this film were people who haven't actually seen it yet!

With a lot of films there's a bit of a build up before it gets going, not this one as it gets going straight away so make sure you're settled down with everything you need (popcorn and a drink etc) before pressing play.

The first thing I noticed was that the actor playing Mark Zuckerberg speaks faster than a speeding bullet and as the film starts off in some sort of club you really need to be paying attention!

I was hooked from the start and ended up watching the whole DVD without having a 'comfort break'.  The film depicts the journey Mark Zuckerberg goes on to creating one of the most popular websites of all time.

He kind of reminds me of Sheldon from The Big Band Theory, clearly very academic but not very socially aware, which is ironic really considering what www.facebook.com is all about!

You don't need to be a geek or a nerd to enjoy this film so if you haven't seen it yet then go and rent it now!
