Just so...so bad

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Michael Douglas has another go as Wall Street crook Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps" from 2010, directed by Oliver Stone. It's 2001, and Gordon has just been released from prison and has written a book. His daughter, Winnie (Carey Mulligan), who wants nothing to do with him, now runs a liberal website and is engaged to Jake Moore (Shia LeBoeuf), an ambitious broker. When Jake's boss and mentor takes his life thanks to rumors of his company failing started by Bretton James (Josh Brolin), Jake wants revenge. Gordon Gekko can possibly help him -- after all, James is an enemy of his as well. In return, Gekko wants a relationship with his daughter.Another big stock market crash, this one from 2008, serves as the background for this film, which crashes right along with the market. The acting is okay, but the story is derivative and predictable. At 133 minutes, it seems overly long, and Oliver Stone has done better work. Disappointing, as I'm sure many people were looking forward to this film after "Wall Street."

It was generally good . There's some stuff boring but also there's quite really good stuff too . A lot of good stuff more and more from Michael Douglas and a perfect combination with Shia Labeouf brought out this story about Wall Street about who money goes around and the daughter-father away relationship hadn't seen each other in years Michael left her $100 million dollars in a Switzerland account which she doesn't want to get it . Meanwhile Shia at work his boss Louie dies by making suicide after the company is almost in bankruptcy and he works with Bret he brings his company down while Douglas take the $100 million makes a fortune to $1.1 billion and his daughter is pregnant Shia and his girlfriend broke up for a little while and they get back together at the end with also Douglas who realizes he has a grandson coming .There was really a lot of drama which I loved about that and great performance by Douglas & Shia also Carey Mulligan . Definitely got to see the first one to know which one is better . 6.8/10 this movie it wasn't that bad :)

It's 2008, 7 years after Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) got out of prison, and he's hocking his book. Meanwhile Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf) is trying direct investments into a new energy source. But the financial crisis is crashing his own workplace Keller Zabel Investments. His mentor Louis Zabel (Frank Langella) commits suicide. Jake marries Winnie Gekko (Carey Mulligan), and teams up with Gordon Gekko to bring down Bretton James (Josh Brolin) who destroyed his mentor.This feels fake. There are better and more realistic and quite frankly documentaries about the 2008 financial meltdown. Others have explained it better. Hearing Gordon Gekko talking about it is like somebody trying to make poetry out of finance. The problem is that Oliver Stone is trying to inject a fictional story into something that's all too real. It amounts to a whole lot of meaningless gobbledygook. The story is nothing but trash. All that we have left to watch for are some fairly good performances.

WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPSIt was as good as the original.Again, there were moments I didn't understand, but not as much as the first one. I followed this one a bit more, but this film is also more about their personal lives and not just the stock exchange.Original cast member Michael Douglas returns as Gordon Gekko. And he really didn't change much. He is still very much an unlikable character and he does not care who he crushes along the way. This time he decides the person to take him to where he wants to go is Shia LaBeouf, who is marrying his daughter and a successful Wall Street guy.Other cast members were Carey Mulligan, Frank Langella & Josh Brolin.The acting was very good... and the story was slightly better than the original.It was great to see Charlie Sheen make a cameo too... I was wondering if he would show up. I am glad he did. It was also really funny at the beginning when Gordon got released from prison, he was getting his possessions back. He got a massive 80's mobile phone. :)I will give this film 6 out of 10.It was enjoyable and a bit easier to follow than the original.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
