Atlas Shrugged: Part III: Who Is John Galt? (2014)

I love this movie so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is the third and (thank God) final installment in the "Atlas Shrugged" series. The book was notorious for being overly preachy, but from what I've heard, this movie is even worse than the book! It apparently doesn't even have that much to do with it. The most notable part of the book is that there's a 70 page sequence where John Galt talks. This movie trimmed it down to just five minutes. It picks up right where the first one left off, with Dagny being saved by John Galt. The film uses an all new cast from the first two movies, but seeing as how the first two were so boring, I didn't even notice. I think even the Wikipedia summary on this film is tired of it. It only has two paragraphs of real plot summary. Dagny falls in love with John for no reason at all. This is seriously one of the most pathetic romances I've ever seen in my entire life. There's a stupid sex scene which is probably downplayed so much only to give it a PG-13 rating.Most of this film is just characters talking about their political and economic views. As with the other movies, it's hard to hate "that" much because it does create a really relaxing experience. Mike Nelson thought "The Phantom Menace" was the worst movie ever because it was boring? He has not seen any of these movies. This would make perfect material for Rifftrax. Probably the only reason it isn't reviewed more is because it's too dull to even get much material out of it. *

I can kind of see where people critical of the movie are coming from but their complaints are very exaggerated. This is a philosophy movie, not a thriller. And its philosophy indicts so many people in one of two classes: Those that have been directed into a dependent state by society, and those that exploit those that have been directed there.The message is what is important and the vehicle that carries it is good enough in Atlas Shrugged 3. I've seen the critics forgive far worse-time and time again. I've all but given up watching movies they say are "good" only to be disgusted yet again by two certified morons in yet another unneeded sex scene to take them seriously. And even Gone with the Wind was the nemesis of the critics when it came out. Fact.People need to learn that the water of capitalism merely carries the addictive poison of statism, and that the cure is not to add more poison and then continue blame drinking water for making them sick. I'd be happy to see it done better but for some reason I don't anticipate many critics with government funded liberal arts educations would feel good about such a message.

The Free Market has Spoken. All Three Atlas Shrugged Films Failed and Failed Miserably. This One Failed Miserably the Most. The Comic Book Characters and Sophomoric Philosophies are on display here and the Question becomes Not...Who is John Galt?…but...Who cares any more about Ayn Rand or Her highly Misinterpretive Jesus Christ Saviour Analogy? Ayn Rand is an Anachronistic Curiosity at best. The only Reason Folks Seek out Her ridiculously Mislabeled "Collectivism" is for some Group Think to reinforce the Idea that it is OK to be Selfish and Lessen the Guilt.But Enough about the Dated Didactics of Ayn Rand and on with the Show. At least Liberals know how to make Movies. If this is an Example of Conservative Creativity, Hollywood is Safe from a takeover by Right Wingers, because, once again, The Free Market has Spoken.The Third installment in the triptych is God-Awful Film-Making with Atrocious Acting, and Cringe-Inducing Everything else. From the Writing to the Sets to the Montage, From beginning to end...This Thing is Bad, Bad, Bad.Ron Paul shows up (he has a Son named Rand, get it), because He is a bonafide Libertarian, but inserting Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck is a Reveal that says It all. Talk about Preaching to the Choir.

I watched Atlas Shrugged part 3 Its not just bad its Terribad. 3rd cast in three films. The writers actually think the philosophy expounded in the film is profound, where it is actually juvenile and puerile. The villains are comically sinister, its like the actors are winking and nodding to the audience to say yeah we know this script is crap, but I needed a pay check. But of course Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity make an appearance which just upped the buffoon meter. I give the movie 1 1/2 stars because, hey, it is still better than Batman and Robin. The worst movie I've ever seen. I'd say ONLY watch this movie if you want to see the idealized ridiculousness of libertarianism put into film.
