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.

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

Sure wish they kept the cast from Part 1. Did not like Dagney or Hank in this one, however, I enjoyed the movie. Big fan of the book.

A low budget production that does a decent job overcoming this shortcoming. A great storyline and worthwhile watching.

I'd presume 90% of the audience for this saw Part 1. Well, that was as good as this "trilogy" of films serializing the book got. The opener showed some promise but it's pissed away here. You no doubt saw the total change of cast - not that the original cast was gonna snag any Oscar nominations. Well, here it's a lower caste of unknowns and there was a reason for that - budget. This particular turd stunk so bad that "Part 3" almost didn't get made and it's too bad that it did because the entirely new production co for THAT steamin' pile went even cheaper if that's even possible.

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.

Projection Booth

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.
