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.

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

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. Go to Full Review
Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 10/15/2012
Director John Putch struggles to find balance or generate a single spark from the clunky mix of romance, political diatribe and thriller. Go to Full Review
Sean Burns Philadelphia Weekly 05/03/2015
A greedy billionaire's most feverish nightmare realized with all the amateurish panache of a daytime soap opera. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

TJ E Aug 23 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. See more mark g 08/15/2024 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. See more Gregory H 02/18/2024 Jason Beghe is amazing! Such a solid actor even before his main role in Chicago PD! Loved this part!!! See more America F 12/01/2023 Another amazing installment! The leftists will hate it! Too much truth… See more Daniel W 06/08/2023 This isn't as good as Atlas Shrugged Part 1, but the middle of a trilogy usually isn't. Still, it's very good. See more Russ G 01/28/2023 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.
