My summary from reading several reviews is that it's not high art, but it would be fine for a TV movie. It actually sounds like the criticisms are very similar to those for the Isaacson Jobs bio: serviceable but not insightful.

I'm not paying theater prices for it, but I'll probably see it on DVD.

Has anyone watched the movie ? I want to watch it but it has not been released in India :(

It premieres in the US tomorrow, but there have been some advance screenings for the media.

I saw it tonight and I actually thought it was very good. It definitely exceeded my expectations. I was a little unhappy of how they portrayed Woz, but altogether the movie was well put together.

The guy playing jobs seems like he's reading off cue-cards.

The Social Network isn't a grandiose documentary. If you just look at it as an entertaining story based loosely on people you know written by a talented guy (Aaron Sorkin), it's pretty enjoyable. You might actually like it. And the tech angle must be somewhat attractive if you're drawn to HN.
