Link to Robert Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times 's review of The Social Network
In this review Ebert applauds the movie's director, David Fincher for such great use of dumbing down computer programming, a subject that a select few people can understand, to in order to make the movie entertaining and "brilliant". Ebert tells of the opening scene by saying the dialouge includes speed-talking and an aggressive interrogation. He also goes into breif detail about what how the movie plays out with switching back and forth between lawsuits and discusses the actors who play each significant role, i.e. Eduardo Saverin, The Winklevosses, and Sean Parker. Towards the end of the review, Ebert speaks more on the dialogue of the movie which he raves that it has "the velocity of a screwball comedy." He goes onto to praise the major actors in their success of achieving the difficult task of playing their roles with perfection. Ebert ends his review with calling the movie "spendidly well-made."
Good work -- don't have time to visit everyone's reviews. Re-read it and notice what CRITERIA (acting, script, music, etc.) Ebert uses to EVALUATE the movie. Is it a positive review overall? Does he mention any drawbacks. Most reviews do, though you have to read carefully to find them. Thanks for getting this knocked out. I love your Sloan Says "She don't believe in shooting stars..."
