What to Know

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.

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Atlas won't be the only one to shrug off this tiresome load. Rated: 1/5 Oct 19, 2012 Full Review Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice 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. Oct 15, 2012 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller. Oct 15, 2012 Full Review Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly A greedy billionaire's most feverish nightmare realized with all the amateurish panache of a daytime soap opera. May 3, 2015 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures There are ironic footnotes in cinema history because they champion the free market yet fail miserably in it. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 9, 2013 Full Review Rob Humanick 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. Rated: 0.5/4 Nov 5, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

mark g 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Gregory H Jason Beghe is amazing! Such a solid actor even before his main role in Chicago PD! Loved this part!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review America F Another amazing installment! The leftists will hate it! Too much truth… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Daniel W This isn't as good as Atlas Shrugged Part 1, but the middle of a trilogy usually isn't. Still, it's very good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Always L 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review Donald S A low budget production that does a decent job overcoming this shortcoming. A great storyline and worthwhile watching.
