The social network- How real?

Just watched that movie and realized just how great it is. But i was just wondering, how real/true are these events. Was Mark really that much of an asshole, but that much of a genius?

    The film was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires, and the author for that book consulted a lot with Eduardo Saverin. So I think it was probably a bit biased against Mark and Sean Parker.

    I didn't see anything in the movie that makes him look like a genius. That's why he's been labeled as an accidental billionaire. I thought the movie made him look like somebody who basically just took someone else's idea and ran with it, and the idea itself was a simple idea that pretty much anybody could think of (even two twin brothers and an indian guy who don't know even know enough about computers to design their own website). I think the main point was that Mark wasn't a genius, he was just the first at the finish line when the race ended.

    The movie was long and boring. Mark Zuckerberg or whatever even said the lawsuit thing wasn't even a big deal to him at the time. Oh, his knowledge of computers in the movie was awful, it didn't sound anywhere near real.
