Any FReeper movie reviews yet? My 18 year old son saw it yesterday and said it was awesome. Reviews have said that it stinks. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 5 out of 100 on the Tomatometer.
Nothing ever changes in the marxist media.
Maybe it’s time to Freep the Tomatometer... No doubt that’s what is going on over at DU.

I can’t remember the last movie I saw in a theater. I saw it yesterday. It was excellent. The action was fast-paced. The evil people were right off TV and from the Democratic party. They used all the current buzzwords; fairness, helping others, etc. The movie didn’t even exaggerate anything, it was a straight line from where we are to where we’re going to be if we don’t get off the train. The hero and heroine are powerful (unrealistically young and good looking) millionaires out to do their job. The bad guys could be straight from Obama’s White House. (Van Jones, anybody?)
Yeah the “experts” are panning it while, from what I gather thus far, audiences are liking it.
I saw it last night and enjoyed it. I don’t think it could have been done any better. The actress who played Dagny was absolutely perfect in every way.
That said, I really don’t think the book works too well as a movie. Rand’s dialogue reads better than it sounds when spoken, and I think they had to leave out so much that somehow the scope of the story seems kind of diminished.
I think people who loved the book will really like the movie. But for someone who has never read it, I can’t imagine this movie will really be a moving experience.
An 18-year old son who recongizes the value of the movie’s message is awesome!
Saw it earlier today. I thought it was great. Ebert and the rest of the Leftist movie reviewers are ALWAYS going to add or subtract stars based on the political correctness or incorrectness of the movie, and Atlas is about as politically-incorrect as you get.
It opened on 300 screens (rather than the originally projected 50) and Box Office Mojo has it doing very well on a "revenue per screen" basis. I expect to see it in wide release next week if the gross for the whole weekend turns out like the Friday gross.
