Unsurprising that this would be lost on a elitist lickspittle like Ebert.

What a smug, condescending review!

Well, gee! I was eagerly awaiting Atlas Shrugged to show up in my local theater, and I was all set to go.

But now? Ebert says I’ll be disappointed. So I guess I’ll stay at work instead.

NOT!!!

This may be disappointing for libertarians, who I believe enjoy rumpy-pumpy as much as anyone.

Well, he's managed to ruin the movie and sex in one article. Way to go, Rog......

It’s Roger Ebert. What can you expect from a Leftist.

Go to hell Roger Ebert, or “R. Hyde”, or “Reinhold Timme”, or whatever your real name is.

Well, that's the lower all boats kind of review which Atlas Shrugged can be honored by.

It's for sure a winner.

FWIW, I've never seen Ebert be so wordy. It must really get under his skin!

Rarely, perhaps never, has television news covered the laying of new railroad track with the breathless urgency of the news channels shown in this movie.

Poor Roger, all the flashy lights and Spec Effects have stunted his imagination. Poor Roger.

So you see how governments and unions are the enemy of visionary entrepreneurs.

They are the enemy of everyone.

But you’re thinking, railroads? Yes, although airplanes exist in this future, trains are where it’s at.

I guess Ebert missed Obama constantly pushing high speed rail projects...and the continuing funding of the non-profit Amtrak. Dems believe rail is the transportation of the future!

That's the best reason to go see the movie. As if ANYONE here would listen to Hebert.

"The man keeps his shirt on. This may be disappointing for libertarians, who I believe enjoy rumpy-pumpy as much as anyone."

Huh? Is Ebert telegraphing a message here?

Darn, I wish I said that first. What an obnoxiously smug review.
