Atlas Shrugged: The Movie
    #14406746 - 05/05/11 06:42 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

It's getting panned by critics (13% on rotten tomatoes) yet it has an 82% audience rating. Anyone seen it? Apparently this is supposed to be a trilogy, probably won't happen at this pace.

The book itself seems pretty difficult to make into a film based on the extreme me first attitudes. It's sort of a "taking your ball and going home" and he's the hero.

think of the extreme fan that would go to it. The people that would pay to see it would give it a good rating as its a fanatic film. Think of what a religious woman from mississippi would think of a cheech and chong film and that is a film critic on that flick but stoners that would pay to see cheech and chong films would rate it different.

I read the book and it's not a favorite of mine, but I like some of the ideology.  The movie was apparently made for the current day.  I was just wondering what some of the Shroomers thought about it.  You have to see it first.  Sorry, argg.

I was just stating that the fans that would go see it already know what they are going to see so the ones that would go wold rat it well. Like a cheech and chong movie to stoners.
