Great movie; it makes no bones portraying Ray Kroc as an S.O.B. (we will no longer patronize this establishment.) It may be just business to come in take another person's idea (unfortunately it happens all the time), but to take someone's NAME! That went too far. He $cr&wed over the McDonald brothers but good - the movie made us hate the man.

A good movie than can be inspirational to an entrepreneur. Great to see Michael Keaton getting more work. I feel the movie does a good job telling a perspective of the story of McDonalds and is worth the watch. It starts off portraying Ray Krok as the underdog that you want to root for but near the end they almost try to sway you to view him as a cut throat business man which I feel is a little unfair. No one will ever know the full details of what went on behind closed doors. However, from my own perspective he really was the one putting in the leg work to take the business to the next level despite resistance from the original founders. Without Ray Kroks help McDonalds probably would never have had remotely the same success it did. And at the end of the day, the original founders got a really nice pay day for their business. So to view it like they got screwed seemed skewed.

Ray Kroc was a f*ckin SAVAGE. Movie was great, but still pretty shocked by the savagery.
