My Review:
Who is John Galt?..., part 3 was an affront to the book and the original characters created by Ayn Rand.... Seriously?....Frisco was 4' 11" with a pot belly..... and had to stand on a stool to hug Dagny? Dagny was a frail, tiny bit of a woman with goo goo eyes for Galt and barely had a presence in a room with other people? James Taggart's character was awful, Ragnar was unconvincing and unbelievable........Reardon looked like an extra from the original Saturday Night Fever....... John Galt looked like a day time Emmy nominee......... or an actor in a shampoo commercial.......I mean really, why was this permitted to hit the theaters? The greatest book ever written deserves much better representation than this....... In all honesty , this movie did more damage to the book than good. I understand fully about budgets , but if they didn't have the budget, they should not have made the movie......... There was no seriousness in any of the scenes, no description of what was happening, and no gravitas whatsoever....Two characters that were true to original form were Ferris and Stadler, great job on those two picks...Hugh Axton was reading his lines off a cue card in almost every scene..... Midas Mulligan was in no way credible as a wealthy banker, but perhaps he was also a Russian scientist. In order to have the proper effect and respect, this production should have been done as a mini series over the course of 1 or two years with much better character development, description and yes ...........ACTING... As the old saying goes, if you can't do something well,.....don't do it at all.
My recommendation is not to see this movie to those of you who have read the book as you will be extremely disappointed, and to those who have not read the book because it is no way indicative of what the book represents!!!
