Nothing new in Atlas Shrugged: Part 2. Still one of the crappiest movies since Part 1. It's even more crappier than Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star. Don't even think about Parts 3 or 4.

A year ago, Rocky Mountain Pictures released the first part of this series, which had a bunch of millionaires complaining about how much they hate government. Naturally, no professional reviewer liked it, and it bombed at the box office. SoA year ago, Rocky Mountain Pictures released the first part of this series, which had a bunch of millionaires complaining about how much they hate government. Naturally, no professional reviewer liked it, and it bombed at the box office. So then what does RMP do? Release a sequel, of the exact same thing! And what's the reception? The exact same thing! For those of you who don't know: this movie is **** Don't watch it. It is nothing but an appeal to conservative ideologues, as is Part 1. Nothing more. I gave the first movie a 1, because I thought that surely the directors would be smart enough to put some originality into the sequel. They weren't. So I'm giving it a 0.… Expand

It seems like I could not relate to the protagonists of this film because they were all millionaires who complained that they hate the government.

They want to start a revolution but all the common citizens are really protesting against people like them. It is hard to relate to a "hero" who rides up in a porsche while the rest of the people seem like they are going hungry. This movie is one of the worst propaganda films that I have ever seen since John Wayne's The Green Berets. The owner of Fox news would be very proud of this horrible film.… Expand

Anyone who thinks this is an excellent and exciting movie has got to be one of the most boring people alive.

This is the second movie of a trilogy about rich people complaining how bad they have it in comparison to others starving and out of jobs. "Aw, I'm a billionaire but people don't appreciate me enough. I'm so unlucky and persecuted." Its very ironic that Rand's philosophy of self-acheivment and excellence churned out such a terrible film. People watch movies to relate to the heroes and cheer against the villains. That should tell you about who the audience for this movie is when the heroes are all rich **** and the villains are everyone else who doesn't agree with them.… Expand

Where to start. This movie is so bad its baffles me.
First there is the horrible book that the script is based on, but that is usually a good thing as bad book usually translates into a good movie. Not a case here. The scripts is sticking toWhere to start. This movie is so bad its baffles me.
First there is the horrible book that the script is based on, but that is usually a good thing as bad book usually translates into a good movie. Not a case here. The scripts is sticking to the book as much as possible trying to shove down everyone throats an old message that communism is bad even though the author of the book and director of the movie clearly have no clear idea what communism actually is. The movie shouts this message every chance it gets.
On screen action is all related to economic mumbo jumbo but not an interesting way with a twist instead what you will see a lot on screen are some computers with some graphs and actors saying how everything is bad economy wise even though they are multi-millionaires.The government is bad and these multimiolinares are the only ones that can save the world by using child labor in China and exporting the jobs overseas because it is economically sound. They are not ashamed of this and ask to be treated as heroes for squeezing paper out of peoples sweat. What else is new?
The message is bad, the cinematic is bad, and characters are uninspiring there is absolutely nothing in this waste of time.… Expand

A cult movie - one that's actually intended for members of a cult. If you're not already a True Believer in the cult of teen fave Ayn Rand, and her tinker-toy theories of life, this movie offers you nothing but boring, ham-handed attemptsA cult movie - one that's actually intended for members of a cult. If you're not already a True Believer in the cult of teen fave Ayn Rand, and her tinker-toy theories of life, this movie offers you nothing but boring, ham-handed attempts indoctrination taken by the gallon from one of the most ridiculous novels ever written. There's a reason Part 1 bombed, and it's the same reason this one is bombing too. If, however, you have taken the Ayn oath and see the world on Rand-o-vision, then you'll probably give it a 10.… Expand

Another boring science fiction movie about the grossly inflated importance of those who hold the most capital. The first one wasn't bad enough. Seriously why do fringe ideologues, such as Greens and Libertarians, rely on science fictionAnother boring science fiction movie about the grossly inflated importance of those who hold the most capital. The first one wasn't bad enough. Seriously why do fringe ideologues, such as Greens and Libertarians, rely on science fiction technology to make their argument? The Greens think there is a oil company conspiracy holding the electric car back, the Libertarians think there is a government conspiracy holding the electric train back.… Expand

Stiffest movie I saw in a looooong time. In fact the second part comes off more like an episode of Seth McFarlane's protagonist from "American Dad" in that a series of unbelievable events make up a satire of conservative soup/world views,Stiffest movie I saw in a looooong time. In fact the second part comes off more like an episode of Seth McFarlane's protagonist from "American Dad" in that a series of unbelievable events make up a satire of conservative soup/world views, except the point is *yawn* huh?? If part 1 was to be rated side by side with this movie it would win 10:1... so I thought the first movie had at least some good story development and character and was very disappointed with the current cast and screenwriting to be honest I had to fight to stay awake...… Expand
