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.

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.

Philadelphia Weekly

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.

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.

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.
