Atlas Shrugged Part 1 VS Part 2

I think it's time for the Gulch to discuss which Atlas Shrugged movie they preferred.

Personally I proffered part 2 because of the bigger budget and I liked Samantha Mathis as Dagny Taggart. It also felt like a Hollywood movie and not a TV movie.

Which movie do you prefer?

    No your opinion is popular. It' s just this post has been done several times. Whose the better Dagny or Hank. Part III has a different director with his own thoughts on how the movie should look. We'll have to wait... Scott has told us we 'll love Galt. He didn't say anything about Dagny. I liked I better than II myself. That's also popular. It's about an even split in the gulch. This last movie is all Galt in my opinion. He needs to nail it.

    I think part 2 was able to get the basic ideas across better because of:

    1. The Hannity segment.

    2. Francisco's speech.

    2. Hank's trial and speech there.

    3. The back room scene and public presentation of 10-289.

    To me, these movies need to engage the audience and most importantly, get the message across. That's why they got Jim Manera to direct part 3. There's lots to cover and a short amount of time to show it in.

    I liked 1. My wife like 2. I think 3 will be great. I just hope that people, not just the Gulch people truly understand what is being said in the movies.
    Objectivism is difficult to grasp and understand. Its potential impact on society and mankind is enormous. The movies begin to convey this if only people pay attention to it.

    I liked Dagny and Eddie better in the first film, but Rearden and Fransisco better in the second.

    Eddie Willers turned into Morpheus in the second film, which was kind of weird.

    Also, did anyone else feel like Ellis Wyatt reminded them of Donald Trump? Cuz' that's essentially the attitude I got from his character in the first film (he didn't appear in the second).
