I guess I’m glad that people can find work making a movie about Facebook, but it just seems like The Emoji Movie and the Angry Birds movie to me — not intended for my generation.
Not everything has to be for everyone, but are people really gonna pay to see a movie about Facebook? I feel like, if you have Facebook, it should be free to watch on that platform at least. Maybe on Instagram/WhatsApp/whatever other Meta services.
I would be willing to give it a chance, just on the strength of Jeremy Allen White and Aaron Sorkin, but I am not gonna pay to be advertised to.

First of all who says it wouldn’t be about everything Meta/Zuckerberg have done? Although even focusing on Facebook would give a ton of material.
I think the first one was quite interesting and since then there have been a ton of technological and social shifts, with Facebook being both a driving force behind them and a platform that reflects those changes. I really can’t see how this is at all similar to the “Emoji” or “Angry Birds” movie, which are just niche things.
If anything you could maybe compare it films like “Blackberry”, “Air” or “Tetris” which have come out in recent years and focus on a founder+product. Admittedly i have watched none of those, but especially compared to the later two i feel like there are deeper themes to explore with a Facebook movie compared to the rest. And aditionally the topic would be vastly more relevant to people.
