I never saw 1 or 2. Would I like it? I liked the book except the John Galt or other long deadly speeches.

Read #1

I saw 1 and 2. I didn’t like either of them. I read the book and the movies do not do it justice.

I've read the Fountainhead, and I'm just finishing up Atlas, and I bet Ayn Rand was the kind of person that really liked hearing herself talk. Those books take a thousand pages to tell a story that 400-500 would have done with some effective editing, and without losing one whit of important plot or characterization.

They’re aware of that and have two intermissions during his speech in the movie.

“I never saw 1 or 2. Would I like it? I liked the book except the John Galt or other long deadly speeches.”

I enjoyed both 1 & 2 immensely, and was pleasantly surprised at how the movie makers kept all of the essentials of the story and major characters while paring out 99% of the BS speeches and breathless juvenile sex yearnings.

The first movie was remarkable given the shoestring budget.

Also, the scenes with the Reardon Metal bracelet involving Hank’s wife and Dagny are some of the best scenes in ANY movie ever made.
