Watch this if you liked: “The Social Network”

The Good, the Bad and the Social Media:

• Basically Google meets Facebook, the movie demonstrates the near future that we might get ourselves in if we expose too much of our privacy on social media.

• Based on a novel of the same name, the movie obviously carries an important social lesson and raises important privacy issues, but it doesn't execute it properly as how the novel does.

• Also, the movie omitted two major parts from the novel in the film, causing the movie to make less sense than it already does.

• After winning Best Actor at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, Emma Watson proved that she is more than just beautiful and smart, and even though her acting in this movie is great, it is not enough to help the story.

• Also, Emma Watson's American accent has improved greatly compared to when she was in "The Bling Ring".

Trivia:

• The lead female role was first offered to Alicia Vikander, but she turned it down to act in "Jason Bourne" (2016). Emma Watson was the second choice.
