    I would recommend going to see it since it is a major vehicle for current communication. However, the film was severely limited in execution and needed to be more than something approaching an audio book presentation. The first twenty minutes or so were particularly bad and the acting amateurish. It does get better, but that opening would lose some of the audience.

    Totally agree with josephaliota, AS3 should never have been released, it absolutely does a huge disservice to Ayn Rand and will discourage the strength of her message to the masses....AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL......

    That is so strange as I understood the movie from start to finish myself. I was very pleased with the movie. I even intend to purchase the DVD when it comes out also. The best $7.00 I ever spent on the movie ticket.

    I hope his movie is pulled and nobody else goes to see it...... Awful, awful awful... Ayn Rand is rolling in her grave .....


    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!!!
