I think the Social Network, for example, is quite accurate about the most important things (the zeitgeist of how a startup like Facebook comes about .. the energy, the betrayals (both perceived and real), the craziness, the attitude of great founders etc).

This is a movie and not a documentary .. for my money I expect the Director to put his creative efforts into making something enjoyable to watch. As long as it's not a blatant fabrication, fact for fact historical accuracy isn't why I'm going to watch this movie.

Aaron Sorkin viewed Zuck & co as a vehicle to tell a larger (and more important) story about modern culture .. if The Fifth Estate accomplishes the same, it will be a great movie.
