Any movie by Rand book is of poor production quality. For understandable reason no Hollywood producer would allow a good movie like that produced.

The three movies that were made recently on Atlas Shrugged went from IMO:

1.Good - decent acting & quality looking production,

2.Average - Different actors with just a “so-so” performance, production quality off,

3.Awful - Again different actors, poor performance & another slip in production quality.

The Fountainhead with Gary Cooper is only worth watching if you’re a dyed-in-the-wool Copper & Patricia Neal fan and will watch anything they are in. Very poorly represents Rand’s book.

Agreed. The first part of AS wasn’t too bad, but the second and third parts were almost unwatchable.

I think Atlas Shrugged just isn’t the right type of material for a movie. It is more about ideas, and railroads, steel mills and such are more of a background to the ideas. Movies need visuals to tell the story and Atlas doesn’t have them.
