My Comment:
Wow, wow, This movie is a hit, punch me in the face. I have no idea that the making of "Facebook" created such dispute and became a remarkable movie. The plot was great, without the knowledge if it's exaggerated. I really like how this movie interpreted the story, it was like story-telling. And Facebook do not have a finished ending, and who knows what's going on with our lives, because it's facebook, we live in it....

My Comment:
I watched this movie right after I watched the cure. A little be disappointed. It's not good as I'd thought. I think the plot is the problem. I was thinking about a better ending or maybe a sad ending, but it didn't turn that way. However, I really like Mike and Bobby's relationship. They love each other and protect each other. The interpretation of this movie was really good. Love the actors especially for Joseph Mazzello and Elijah Wood.

My Comment:
It was such a wonderful story. I don't really like this kind of movie, cause I always get teary (it's a compliment!). It was a really nice described bestfriend-ship between Erik and Dexter. And a great plot even though it was a "I know what would be the end" movie. It's a must! to watch this movie.
