Critics Consensus

Poorly written, clumsily filmed and edited, and hampered by amateurish acting, Atlas Shrugged: Part II does no favors to the ideology it so fervently champions.

Atlas won't be the only one to shrug off this tiresome load.

Seriously, if this is the best promotion of itself that the free market can manage, it really would benefit from the help of a Ministry of Culture or something.

Director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller.

A greedy billionaire's most feverish nightmare realized with all the amateurish panache of a daytime soap opera.

There are ironic footnotes in cinema history because they champion the free market yet fail miserably in it.

The Bad Boys II of ****ty propaganda films, morally and aesthetically corrupt yet compulsively watchable in the broad strokes. Somewhere, in heaven, Eisenstein is laughing. Hard.

This was a great series that attempted to retell the fantastic book by Rand. However, budget constraints seriously cripplied these movies. With the jolting recasting of all the main characters between installments and poor production value, it took away from the underlying message. (Don't get me wrong, the actors were fine with what they had to work with, but a 5 Million dollar budget for the 3rd movie? That's a tough hill to climb.) Watch them anyway and just pay attention to the story being told. It's worth it. -Scitech76

Completely unfair that Hollywood will never be making a faithful version of the book. It’s incredibly ironic that the left bombed this movies ratings to hell.

So poorly written, directed, acted. It plays like a high school play written by the kids. The characters are paper-thin, either entirely good (capitalists) or entirely bad (everyone else). So naive and simplistic, Ayn would be proud.

This isn't as good as Atlas Shrugged Part 1, but the middle of a trilogy usually isn't. Still, it's very good.
