Leave your thoughts about Atlas Shrugged: Part II.
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThe people behind the Atlas Shrugged series of films have things they want to tell you, and just to make sure that you know what they are, the movies tell you, and tell you, and then tell you again. |
| Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThis middle portion of an intended trilogy will only play to the converted who have already seen Part I, and then only to the most gullible among them who will swallow mediocre filmmaking for the sake of ideology. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlSeriously, 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. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneRand's detractors will hate the movie as much as they do her, but her fans will be satisfied ... |

| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreA stupid person's idea of what a smart movie sounds like. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyHas a whole new director, cast and crew, with slightly higher production polish and more familiar faces onscreen. Nonetheless, it's consistent with its predecessor as a somewhat awkward translation of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel to our current era, handled with bland telepic-style competency. |
| New York PostKyle SmithEven if you overlooked the production values from a 1986 porno and special effects like something your nephew cooked up on his Mac, the movie's "Yay, money!" zingers are just a big bag of sad. |
