I think the Dagny and Hank in Part II are fine actors as well, don't misunderstand me, but after having read the book I think those two were mis-cast and did not match Ayn Rand's depictions of the characters they played. The Dagny character did not fit my image of the striking, head-turning beauty that could win the pageant if so inclined, but instead decided to use her brain and run a business. The Hank character did not fit my image of the industrialist steel tycoon. I didn't see engineer when I looked at that guy. He would be believable in a more physical role I think.
Let's be honest though.. trying to communicate Atlas Shrugged in 3 movies is really hard. Ayn Rand so painstakingly developed her characters and themes to make her points its hard to replicate that in a 2 hr movie format. Having 20/20 hindsight, I think Atlas Shrugged would been better portrayed in a HBO style TV format like how they are doing Game of Thrones. Each part of the book could be a season and then you'd have plenty of time to develop the characters and tell the story. It would be so intriguing watching the drama unfold in this manner. So hard to do it in a movie format where you have to rush through everything.
As discussed below, this includes getting the point across to those who know it intuitively but have not yet connected the dots between the fictional story and the reality that is coming in being around us.
Francisco also lacked the physical beauty, charm, refinement, and fit physique that Ayn Rand so intentionally burned in our minds. Hanks voice was so awful. I wish it would be redone.
I am acquaintef with several member of the actors guild worthy of consideration for a role in this film.
Bring back the original Dany Taggart and Hank

B. Getting the message of Atlas Shrugged right
The message may be interpreted differently by
differently, but I think the message should be,
that our founding fathers had things set up for a
reason, and we need to leave it that way.
Every thing is pretty much fine, but please keep in mind that those of us who have read it are always gonna knit pick because a movie and cannot replace a book, but at least get the most important scenes that will drive the message home, and everything should fall into place.
