I hope the OP isn't posting this simply because it's fun to bash Rand.

I'm a huge fan of the book (though I prefer the Fountainhead), but didn't expect much more from this movie. I haven't seen it yet, but with that cast, and a production team that can't even hire a logo designer (check the stock vector used for the signage logo), I'd expect nothing short of a disappointment.

I didn't get the sense that the article was critical of Rand. It seemed more like it was bashing the movie.

An Atlas Shrugged movie could be awesome. The book conjures such vivid images of grandeur and destruction. It's a shame this trilogy seems like it should be missed.

I agree with you, but I've seen so many reviews use this bad movie as a chance to bash Rand that I was hoping to avoid that here.

This one has had a lot of troubles getting off the ground, and I'm guessing that the film reflects that, which as you say, is sad.

I hope the OP isn't posting this simply because it's fun to bash Rand.
