I am sorry to see parts 2 and 3 will probably not be made, but I have to cringe when I hear the producer whining about the critics and blaming them. Did he really expect an unbiased review of his movie? They are LIBERALS, of course they are going to pan the movie. The liberals hate the book and they hate everything Ayn Rand believed. It would not have mattered how technically good, or well cast, or well scripted the movie was. It was based on a premise that goes against everything they believe in. And the producer should have been prepared for the bad press and negative reviews. Some things never change.
I enjoyed the movie. I was looking forward to the parts 2 and 3. But I read the book and know the story, so it's not like I got left hanging.
BTW, because we pleaded with the manager of our local theater to do whatever he had to do to get the movie, it has been playing in our relatively small town of 50,000 since last Saturday. Sadly, there were only two other couples besides us in the entire theater.
