I saw it last night in Delaware and there were only a dozen people at the late showing (9:20 pm). I loved it. I had not seen Part I. I thought it did a great job of casting the government as pure evil and revealing liberty as the great value that binds us all together in civilization. It’s quite a wild story. At the end the protagonist, Dagny Taggart, meets John Galt. Jason Deghe as Henry Reardon was simply fantastic. His speech before the government tribunal was riveting.
I saw it yesterday and thought it was pretty good. I liked the first Dagny better, but found out the new one is Samantha Mathis. She was Princess Daisy in the Mario Bros movie a long time ago. I thought the speech that Hank Reardon gave should be used this election cycle. It is GOOOOOOD!
