The reviews for this movie have been vey unfair and incite ideological babble from the left. It is very difficult to read a review that is somewhat objective. Here is a review of Atlas Shrugged that you can take to Independents and Conservative Democrats who aren't as hyper-left wing as the left is in their "analysis" of this film.

I’m going to see the movie tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what I think of it.......

I can understand the poor reviews. From a technical point of view, the movie was poorly made and very poorly acted. Libertarians are drawn to the political and economic points but they will go over the head of most movie viewers.

I can’t find it where I live. All the cinemas are owned by Regal.

Lots of dumb, kiddy movies. No Atlas Shrugged.

If anyone knows of an online site advertising where Atlas Shrugged is playing, please provide a link. I haven’t been able to find one.

It came in for ridicule on tonight’s Colbert Report.

If you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.

I'm going to pick a nit here... but the character's name is Ellis Wyatt, not Paul Wyatt.

BTW, I’ve seen the movie once and liked it very much. I’ll be going back for seconds (perhaps more) next week.

If you want to see it, see is soon. Movies that bomb commercially this badly don’t stay in theaters long. I’m surprised it can still be found at all.

I just saw the movie. It was terrible, but I enjoyed it. The characters are a faithful depiction of the wooden characters in the book. Luckily I had low expectations and sort of laughed through the tortured parts of the movie. Still, I would give it a qualified recommendation.

- 2 out of 4 stars.

Haven’t seen the movie (not sure where it’s released here down under). I have, however, been tempted to read the book. Not the worst book I have read (that distinction must go to Battlefield Earth), but readable nonetheless despite the quite two dimensional characters. I’m 2% of the way through - let’s see how far I get.

You really should read the Book first,most of the power is lost in the Movie,i read a good description of it as a cliff notes version of the book and that is true.
My daughter and i have read the book and my wife and my daughters boyfriend had not and both of them liked the movie but it was the same theme to them that they have seen before,BUSINESS MAN GREEDY AND POLITICIANS BAD.The whole character development was missing and all the back stories with each Character. Sadly I understand why the Producer had to rush it out or lose the rights to make the Movie but it really ,in my opinion, does a disservice to the POWER of the Book by leaving out so much

[Gluteus Maximus]

I saw it on On Demand. I was hoping it would be much better than it was. Characters cut from cardboard. Painfully tendentious storyline and dialogue. The novel wasn’t bad, I guess. The film was terrible.

To Verizon FIOS customers: Atlas Shrugged is available via pay per view.

It's not in their featured section, but do a search and you'll find it...I found it by accident.

Spoiler alert:

When they finally tracked down where all the factories had gone, it turned out all the machines and factories had been given to the communist Chinese, and all the Americans who worked on the machines have been fired.

They all lived unemployed ever after. And voted for Obama, because they no longer had jobs.
