Howd you guys like it?

I thought I was really interesting and sick. The cinematography was soooo ill throughtout the whole movie. That crew scene espically.

Let's hear what you have to say?

i felt like something was missing from the movie, i dont know what.

also, did the crew scene look like they used tilt-shift lenses to anyone else. the pulling of the focus was really sick too

just finished watching it, late night show. I thought it was alright but way to long for a movie that had no substantial excitement. 2hrs is way to long to be contained in a hot, stuffy and artificial environment. I had to leave to get fresh air at the halfway point. Normally i don't mind 2 hour movies if its something like transformers where your always into it, but this didn't do it for me.

i enjoyed it, but it was definitely missing some elements. not really satisfied with the ending, not that i wanted them to make something up to tie it all together, but they could have done a better job. but i really felt myself getting sucked into the movie, by far the most relatable "based on a true story" film ive seen.

The overall film was so good, Cinematography, Music, everything fit in perfectly. I would definitely recommend seeing it.

haha transformers? 10 mins of that garbage was too much.

Loved what Trent Reznor did with the score.

First 9/10 movie I have seen in probably 2 years. Great film, interesting characters, go out and see it if you have not yet.

sawit last night, i thought it was really cool, liked the cinematography
but after I was kinda like wow what a douche he kinda screwed over his friend, didn't like the napster guy, and idk about the twins from harvard, that part seemed pretty shaky.

I thought it was great. I went with a group of people and nobody else liked it.

I thought it was pretty easy to relate to Mark and the story really captured his ambition to make a great website. I like the point they try and emphasize that he was just trying to make a website and didn't care about money or didn't even expect it (whether that is true or not can be speculated).

The cinematography and the score by Reznor (of NIN if youre not familiar) was outstanding and the directing was top notch.

Definitely go see it if you have a chance.

So good.  That part where he went off about having the attention of the lawyer was money.
