Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallOct 12, 2012
The relevant question now isn't who John Galt is, but how much demand there will be for what the producers supply. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley MorrisOct 12, 2012
For some, Atlas Shrugged Part II is a ridiculous movie. For others, it's scripture. Read full review

The New York TimesManohla DargisOct 17, 2012
The producers are going to have to hire a better director if they want moviegoers to be curious enough about this Galt guy to buy a ticket for the presumptive third and final chapter. Read full review

VarietyDennis HarveyOct 14, 2012
Has a whole new director, cast and crew, with slightly higher production polish and more familiar faces onscreen. Nonetheless, it's consistent with its predecessor as a somewhat awkward translation of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel to our current era, handled with bland telepic-style competency. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyOct 14, 2012
This middle portion of an intended trilogy will only play to the converted who have already seen Part I, and then only to the most gullible among them who will swallow mediocre filmmaking for the sake of ideology. Read full review

Washington PostMark JenkinsOct 12, 2012
Everything about it screams mid-20th century. Rather than refresh the cast with new actors, the producers would have done better to just digitally reanimate Patricia Neal and Gary Cooper, the stars of the 1949 adaptation of Rand's "The Fountainhead." Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenOct 18, 2012
Budgetary constraints aside, director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlOct 16, 2012
Seriously, if this is the best promotion of itself that the free market can manage, it really would benefit from the help of a Ministry of Culture or something. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithOct 11, 2012
Even if you overlooked the production values from a 1986 porno and special effects like something your nephew cooked up on his Mac, the movie's "Yay, money!" zingers are just a big bag of sad. Read full review

Atlas won't be the only one to shrug off this tiresome load. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott TobiasOct 12, 2012
The specific problem with Part II is that a second act of huffery and puffery don't get it anywhere. Read full review
