Wall Street: Money never sleeps

Might watch it tonight. Watched 10 minutes of it last night. Any good ? Anybody saw this ?

 

Oh I just found out this thing is a sequel . Didn't even know that...

 

It's surprisingly good.

 

It's also surprisingly mediocre. I saw it and it was pretty good, but my overall feeling afterwards was I could have missed this movie and it wouldn't have made much of a difference especially since I have no intention of every sitting through it again.

Also the female lead in that movie is so plain and mediocrely attractive. I can't believe that's Shia Lebouf's woman in real life too. Man did he ever settle.

 

:notallthere: seriously?

 

Its decent. Nowhere NEAR as good as the original, but its watchable.... once.

Wall Street 1 is highly rewatchable..... this is not.

 

Same here, the trailer gave away the entire movie for all intents and purposes.

That chick:scared2:

 

Come on...You've watched "Transformers" one too many times. She's no catch but neither is he. It's not like he should bang Megan Fox in every movie.

 

Yeah.....Im suitably unfussy with womens looks, but for a non-fat, healthy, well groomed girl with nice skin she's WAAAAAY below average in the looks department.

 

If anything that was the character who should be banging a hot Megan Fox type. He worked on Wall Street for a prestigious company making 6 figures and was invested in a multimillion dollar company. Big Bucks = Hot Women dude.

One of the times when Hollywood has a realistic reason to give a guy a hot girlfriend, they decide to take a pass.

 

Yep

 

I never gave this a chance, but will watch on cable when it's on... or perhaps even spend a dollar for a Redbox rental.

For some reason, the commercials always reminded me of another film that was basically a severely watered down version of Wall Street. I think it was Boiler Plate, or something like that. I don't even remember the geek who starred in it, other than that Nia Long played his girlfriend and that Vin Diesel was in it. Nuff said, I guess ::

Anyway, agREED that the original Wall Street is must-see whenever it's on.

 

Boiler Room. And dammnnn.... Boiler Room is actually a good movie to me. Not as good as Wall Street, but its better than Money Never Sleeps.

Oh and the geek from Boiler Room is Giovani Ribisi..... who I cant stand as an actor.

 

boiler room is a good movie.

 

Vastly overrated. Okay in Saving Private Ryan but was no more effective than anyone else in that movie.

 

Never did get around to seeing that one.

 

Very average movie. It might be timely but this may be the tamest Oliver Stone movie I've ever seen. Absolutely no edge or bite to it at all.

Doesn't hold a candle to the original and the Charlie Sheen cameo was embarrassingly awkward.

Oliver Stone also handles the economic collapse in very broad strokes and clumsily. Nothing was revealed we didn't already know watching "The Daily Show".

Watch HBO's "Too Big To Fail" if you want to actually learn anything about the collapse and the bailouts and be captivated by it.

I had no problem with the girl being homely. She was Gekko's daughter. Not a Wall Street hanger-on. That a Wall Street guy ends up with Gekko's daughter, no matter how homely, is not exactly a stretch. She doesn't have to be a hottie. Rich guys marry ugly girls all the time.

5/10

 

I thought "W" and "World Trade Center" were pretty good. Not classics, but decent.

This new "Wall Street" movie just looked like it was quickly slapped together to make a sequel before Micheal Douglas kicked the bucket......and some producer told him, make it PG-13 and put the kid from "Transformers" in it, or it don't get made.

:shit:

 

Solid 7 out of 10 for me. Boiler Room is a good film. Never seen the new Wall Street. Kinda seemed way too late for a sequel to me.

 

"W" was a satire, so I wasn't concerned about getting a history lesson. I thought it was clever and was entertained by it.

I don't know enough about the real "World Trade Center" story (guys buried in the rubble) to care how accurate it was. Was it entertaining, is the only qualification for me.

Anybody who watches Oliver Stone movies for a historical accuracy should know better.

 

Thought you were the last one that cared about box office. :dunno:

Seen plenty of good reviews for both.

Did you even see these films?

Wall Street II was shit IMO, but the guy is still capable of better.

 

Agree, he has absolutely slipped. I don't think the movies I mentioned were classics like his earlier stuff............but they were pretty good IMO.

The documentaries he's made lately are absolutely dreadful however. He needs to stay out of that field entirely.

And "Alexander". That was another god-awful, horribly miscast movie. He needs to stay away from big-budget period epics the same way Spike Lee needs to stay away from war movies.

Leave that stuff to the big boys like Ridley Scott and Spielberg.

 

Did he have a smirk on his face when he said it? Can't imagine him being serious.

Had he ever even used 3D before?
