Although his influence is felt throughout, this narrative follows a driven young stockbroker (Shia LaBeouf) and his girlfriend (Carey Mulligan), who happens to be Gekko's daughter. Navigating the financial details is a challenge, but the basics of love and revenge are pretty clearly spelled out. Director Oliver Stone is at the top of his game: rich locations, attractive cinematography, snazzy editing and uniformly rich performances. If only the screenplay were a little less trite and filled with attempts at profundity, it would be a great film.… Expand

Entertaining overall and if you can follow the financial jargon, it hits home regarding the depth of stupidity and greed which came so close to taking us all down. MD is excellent. Not so much SL.

As a huge fan of the original, I loved the sequel, though it did seem a bit slow at points. If you've never seen the original, this would bore you to sleep in a heartbeat.

Decent movie all around, though I agree that the Wall Street lingo can be a bit confusing sometimes. Regardless, Micheal Douglas is amazing in his revitalized role as Gordon Gecko.

I thought this movie was great. It has an inside view of how Wall Street is run. The cast was great many people thought Shia Labeouf had a weak performance but i think he fit into the role well. Give it two thumbs up.

Oliver Stone's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" is one of those rare non-consecutive sequels that works. In fact, it is one of the very few non-consecutive sequels ever been made; "Money Never Sleeps" picks up the story of "Wall Street.â

Wall Street-Money Never Sleeps gets the job done for the sequel and it accomplish for Gekko,so he thinks that he really turns himself into good or bad.

Douglas does another fantastic job and the scenes with his character are the most riveting, though he doesn't appear in this film as much as he should. The performances here are all excellent, but the script gets a tad bogged down. This still makes for an entertaining 2 hours, though I don't know that the repeat-viewing value is as strong as the first film.… Expand

Everyone seemed to expect Wall Street 2 to be a re-package version of the first film but its really its own film and it did well seperating itself from the first film and establishing itself as its own good film.

Yes a good film because I liked it. I think LaBeouf was a good lead, Douglas is great, Brolin was a good villian, and the rest of the cast was solid as well.

The one big flaw is that Brolin's character seems like the villian type but hes not as straight forward as Gekko was in the first film. He is more secretitive and I feel it hurt the film quite a bit. They could have done a better job at putting Brolin's character into the limelight. Still enjoyed the film though.… Expand

I liked this film a lot more then the first film. Shia was a great lead (better than Sheen from the first film imo) and Michael Douglas is great as well, so is the rest of the cast.

Thats what made the first film so great, Douglas was a great villian in the first film but in the second film there really is no villian and it hurt the film quite a bit. I still enjoyed it though, Definently worth the watch.… Expand

The film presents itself as a tale of revenge, greed, corruption, and love: however, the issue of greed remains everlastingly at the center. Not the best as far as sequels go, but it delivers.… Expand

The acting was good, the events were well described and there was some real tension at times. It may have been a little bit too melodramatic and the movie could've benefited from a shorter running time, but it was watchable. You should watch it if you're interested in the big wall street crash or if money is appealing to you. If not, you're probably better off watching something else.… Expand
