Ratings and reviews

The first was good. However. Changing the entire cast just to push out a movie to beat a deadline is a poor choice for the second. The did this marvelous story a huge disservice. I ended up turning it off halfway through

Whomever John Galt is, he must have stole all the good actors before making this movie. The acting is on a high school level. Also I was also disappointed not to see any of the actors from the first movie of the series in the sequel. They were much better character representations. Save your money!!!

Absolutley love the first movie. The second movie is pretty good. Although the should have kept the same actress for Dagny from the first movie. But the new Hank Rearden is better. And Fransisco is better. They made a mistake putting Hannity in there. This is a libertarian book, not a neocon book. And damn they totally drop the ball for the third movie. Shame
