What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's more entertaining than many sequels, but with Oliver Stone directing, a terrific cast, and a timely storyline that picks up where the original left off, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps should be better.

This film misses its own story. It's a middle-brow male weepy, and no more. Money never sleeps, but you might. I can't say I didn't enjoy a little doze myself. Go to Full Review

The old Gordon Gekko would have torn this movie apart with his gleaming teeth, while today’s Gekko seems content just to nibble on the edges. Go to Full Review

Stone succeeds in making Money Never Sleeps part social commentary and part melodrama for a curious mix that leaves the viewer extremely satisfied. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
More than anything, Wall Street 2's ultimate failure is it's more likely to make the viewer crave a 'World's Greatest Dad' mug than a sports car and Daryl Hannah. A disappointment, frankly. Go to Full Review

Scott M Oct 1 Spineless story where the main focus is whining about how the economy is horrible. The acting was good but unfortunately they had nothing to say but how much they hate people. So nihilistic this movie. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 2 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Peter P May 11 Forgotten masterpiece See more May 9 There wasn't an actual story, they could have done a lot better job with Douglas. First one was alright, no doubt... See more Rosana B Feb 16 Distingue-se do anterior pela inserção de uma grande fatia dramática na relação de abandono parental entre o antagonista e a noiva do protagonista, mantém a elegância e ganancia do mundo do bolsa de valores, entretanto sem o prestígio e brilhantismo anterior, baseada e ambientada na pré-fatídica crise financeira de 2009, com alguma tentativa de ação e emoção desnecessária, como a cena das motos, interessante e só… Alguns pais são monstros por dentro... See more r96 s Jan 20 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' falls short of its predecessor, even though it is still satisfactory. It does have issues, for example it overruns and has some ill-fitting editing. The original had top (+ better) performances but wasn't fully reliant on the cast, this is more so. It's cool to see Michael Douglas reprise his role, the same can be for that rather fan service-y moment in the middle of the film. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin and Carey Mulligan are positive new faces and give enough, even if I've seen greater from each one of them in other productions. This 2010 sequel isn't as much about Wall Street as the first flick, which I think is a mistake. Of course there is plenty in there about it, but to me it felt much more about Gekko and his personal life - which isn't quite as interesting to watch unfold across 120+ minutes.
