It has been 20 years since the last great Oliver Stone film (JFK), and whilst I don't think everything he has made since has been bad it does feel like he has been wasting his talent (especially with the last few films). Returning to one of his most famous movies is not necessarily a bad idea, especially seeing how relevant it is to today's global economic climate, but is this a case of reliving past glories?
The answer is a crushing yes. I was kind of expecting this to be disappointing but it blew harder than even I imagined. I'll get the good bits out of the way first - the cast. They are all fine, Shia appears a bit…

Money may never sleep but LaBeouf and Oliver Stone do a pretty good job of trying to send me for a snooze. Whole extra star for Mulligan being good and Douglas clearly enjoying himself in some expensive but off-trend suits.

Gordon Gekko is back, and back with a bang ... well, sort of. In 1987, acclaimed director Oliver Stone took viewers into an exotic world. Those were the days when financial news occupied the grey back pages of the newspaper. Suddenly, here was a movie about banking that looked like a thriller ... traders talking a mile a minute, brokers doing deals between gulps of coffee, millions of dollars moving at the blink of an eye, people talking on cell phones (that was big during that time), and men could change destiny through insider trading. One also learned that, in the by-now-iconic phrase uttered by its anti-hero, Gordon Gekko - "Greed is Good". Oliver Stone returns to this world in…

I'm not sure what happened in this movie. There was a lot of economic talk, what seemed like multiple market crashes,and Shia Lebeouf working at several jobs. At one point there was a rural motorcycle race that ended in an immediate job termination. By the end I was ready to go to sleep, unlike money, apparently.

Watchable, only because of Michael Douglas. Still... Oliver Stone can do way better than this!

I didn't finish this film so I won't give it a rating because it would be incomplete. There were some bizarre visual motifs that really stuck out in a bad way. This film failed to capture the sense of place and era which was the strength of the first Wall Street.

didn’t like the first, didn’t like the second; the writing is average but the directing is below that, the editing drove me crazy and the production design was a huge fail.

Having watched this several times now I still can't honestly say I understand all the details of it. But I do enjoy Brolin's and Douglas' performances and hair.

Finanssi-meininkejä. Aiheesta kiinnostuneelle varmaan menevä parituntinen, mut muille dorkille tuskien taival.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This just falls flat on its face. For the first 30 minutes it can't decided what year it is and Oliver Stone tries too hard to connect the Wall Street films together and uses a grainy 80s-looking NYC backdrop in a 2000s era. Then you have to factor in the incredible predictability and the mediocre acting and it's just not that good.
