Title: Anyone going to see Atlas Shrugs II?
Post by: FlaGator on October 12, 2012, 11:39:28 AM
I watched part one the other night on Netflix and thought it was a very interesting adaption of the story. I plan on going to see it tomorrow night.

I would like to see it, but need to watch part one first.  It's on Netflex?  Thanks.

Is part I good?  I tried to watch it and fell asleep, so I wonder if I should try it again.  I was really tired, not talking about the movie plot.

It's pretty decent. It moves really fast so it's easy to loose track of the plot if you get distracted.

I've got part one on DVD, and I've watched it several times over this year. Now I'll wait for part two to come out on DVD....and then part three in a couple of years.

Part two was really good. There are new actors playing the roles. I'm not sure if this was because the old actors couldn't do the parts again or that they wanted to age everyone. At any rate I enjoyed the movie and I'm looking forward to the final installment.

There weren't a lot of people in the theater but those who where there liked it. There were a lot of faces that I recognized from other shows and movies.

I liked part one a lot.  I thought they could have had it run a little more smoothly.  I will watch part 2 on DVD.

I am hoping that they package all three once done so I can buy them as a set.

I tried watching Part I on Netflix and I couldn't get into it. I usually try to see Conservative movies in the Theater so they get the $, but not sure this time. I may try watching Part I again and see if I can get into it.

I went to Part II on Saturday and I liked it a lot.

One problem with adapting AS is the number of characters in the book make it difficult to develop the character of most of them. They come in, flitter around Dagny or Hank like moths, and then flitter away.

I think it would have to be done as a five year TV series, like Babylon 5, to do the story justice. But for what they had to do, I found it to be fast paced and it kept my attention.
