Yeah…Wallstreet (times 2) was alright…it was going down a bad memory lane watching the housing crisis toilet and each time Casey Mulligan cried I wondered how many light bulbs on the set were wasted on her working up tears. But…the main guy was cute and you could see his potential…he’s earnets….hmmm would I invest stock in him? Well not in anyone/anywhere…I’m Jewish! Wallstreet, no matter how CERTAIN the investor plus no matter how orthodox isn’t worth 5 bucks; I’m 100 lbs, it goes a looooooong way at the grocery.
Yeah. thumbs up (maybe three times, or depending on how much you like seeing money flow.) If your really for it, or against it you could always read up on Abbey Hoffman…he threw bunches of it in front of the Dow and watched people trample over briefcases to get to it…

I was so dissapointed with this movie is not even a joke. that romance crap doesnt work. Money never sleeps? that shouldve been the name for the first movie.. this one shouldve been, Wall Street legalized greed. or better yet, wall street go to sleep, get married and have a kid, lol… I dont wanna see that crap, i wanna see how Gordon has his sleeves rolled up in his million dollar office talking about how he’s gonna make that money with a doughter following his footsteps theeeeeeeeeen meeting a guy whos also as hungry as her. Competing on who can read the stock market better or make better deals, and then maybe the conflict couldve been about making things right. Although in this case, everything is right.lol
Anyways, only one speech from Mr Gordon was ok and we all know which one it is.. and still was half as good as the one he had in the first movie with all the shareholders, and a fraction of the one in the limo where he mentions that he does not want to make 400k/yr flying first class feeling comfy, he’s talking about 50-100mill……. a player!!! now that’s a line.

Never watched the original and not because i was young. I have never been into Michael Douglas and will atempt to watch this over the winter holidays after reading this review along with the 80’s original.

The sleepy early autumn season lived up to expectations as a chastened Gordon Gekko returned to the spotlight with a modest weekend haul of approximately $19m. Fox initially planned to release Wall Street:money Never Sleeps towards the end of April and later opted for an autumn launch. The markets were more treacherous back in April, and frankly it would have been more relevant to get this out back then, so the delayed release means only one thing: an awards play.

It will be fascinating to see what nominations, if any, the movie manages to pull in. It’s a little soporific in places, and while it’s always good to see Michael Dougles on the screen and watch the latest offering from Oliver Stone, I felt the story had nothing particularly memorable to say about the financial collapse, while the family story lacked resonance. I’m yet to be sold on Shia LaBeouf. He has charisma by the bucketload but still seems too young to be straying from the Disney Channel – for now at least.
