- hey, I just saw this one. I really enjoyed the book, but found the
- film terrible. It almost seemed like the actors had to say their lines
- fast so that they could say everything Ayn wrote for them in a less
- than 2 hour period. It came out really campy, especially when the
- characterization had to be done through the characters dialog instead
- of their actions.
-
- Review: Forget the film. It's too confusing if you haven't read the
- book and it's pointless if you have.
-
- As far as Atlas Shrugged being put on film, I think this is going to
- be an even harder task with the symphony of characters instead of the
- trio of the Fountainhead.
-
- just my opinions,
- Craig
