This movie fails to capture the real essence of Ayn Rand's philosophy, which is that the system of government and trade in America should reward the brilliant engineers and architects who make progress possible, not the political retards who are funding and supporting the "TEA" party.
Somehow the message of Ayn Rand has been distorted into a conservative tax message which is simply not the subject or point of her novels. She embraced intelligence and abhorred ignorance, and ignorance is what the Tebagger/Republican party is based on.
The Teabaggers and Republicans are really going to piss off the atheists this time if they continue to bastardize the works and legacy of one the the 20th century's greatest minds and America's favorite atheist, Ayn Rand.
I'm surprised the movie was so true to the basic plot of the book. I would have definitely changed the technology in the plot from trains to internet/wireless communications manufacturing or something else more relevant to today.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The 3-D effects were cool, but the movie is a big cliche riddled piece of boring garbage with no interesting characters or situations. "Dances With Smurfs" is a great nickname for the film, but it's nowhere near as likeable as "Dances With Wolves" or The Smurfs for that matter.
Although Josh Brolin is far more likeable than the real W., this movie is pretty awesome and Stone delivers as usual. Not as entertaining or timelessly classic as Natural Born Killers, but there is more real life important information and it is far more timely and interesting than Nixon or JFK were. Our founding fathers are spinning even faster in their graves thanks to y'all voting a major douche into office TWICE. The separation of church and state has been trampled over the last 150 years and good old W. just pooped on it for good measure. In conclusion, the movie W. is great and the real W. is clearly socially backwards, extremely pathetic, disturbing, and just plain sad.
