    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It nice to see a movie that does not totally twist what was in the book. The book will never be matched, but I find this to be a good effort of putting the novel on the screen. Viewing the world in terms of looters and producers will be be very uncomfortable for some... as some of the views indicate.… Expand

    Left wing media and critics don't want you to see this, but it's an awesome movie. Particularly given what's happening today. Remarkable that she wrote the novel 50 years ago. And by the way, you don't need to see Part One first, this movie stands on its own.

    If you are interested in our country and the upcoming election, you must see Atlas Shrugged II. As you watch this movie and are unable to compare it to what is happening to this country then you obviously are not paying attention. Scary what this woman was able to see coming!

    While still low budget the second part of this story captures the current struggle between the prouducers andthe takers. The acting is good and the story compelling.

    Overall, avery nice movie. The major negative would be that if you do not have an open mind to a differing viewpoint you might perceive this as threatening your basic beliefs. But if you value diversity in the expression of those ideas, I believe that you will enjoy this experience.

    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.

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

    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.
