Did you know there are more people with genius IQs living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States?

That can't possibly be true.
Mark Zuckerberg:
It is.
Erica Albright:
What would account for that?
Mark Zuckerberg:
Well first, an awful lot of people live in China. But, here's my question: how do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on their SATs?

Facebook and the Internet in general is a massive part of today's world, so making a film on this subject seemed like an interesting idea.
The acting in this movie is very good, Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield in particular (two of the main characters). The way the story develops is interesting and seems like it would be very realistic but I found myself losing interest just over half way through, there is just so much talking and it feels extremely dragged out, 2 hours is a bit too long. Yes this is a good drama but I can't see why the critics have rated this so highly. I guess its all about personal opinion.
For me this is worth a one time watch. 6/10
